I bought a pair(the Stephanie boot) for my wife and she loved it for two weeks until it began to fall apart.  The "comfortable sole" is it's downfall as the heel seems to be made of a compressed cardboard material (TPC) that absorbs and expands with water contact making the rubber release from it.  Despite this, La Canadienne refused to warranty these $400 boots.  I would never buy a pair of La Canadienne boots again after what we went through with their customer service.
