I purchased these boots in September 2020 and obviously due to the lockdowns they have not been used that much. Now that they are being used i was very disappointed to find the eye holes for the laces have "pulled through" tearing the boots at the top where the laces should go through. The only way to use them now is to either use the lower eye holes which means they are not fastened completely or poke fresh holes through the material near the original eye hole, but i would think these will soon "pull through" again. This has happened on both boots,inside of the right one and outside of the left one.
