I spent more on these boots than I normally would, but I was looking for a nice leather boot for the winter.  I love the look and comfort, but after 2-3 wearings, I noticed a seam in the back coming apart.  Everyone encouraged me to return , but I had already used the box to wrap a present for someone.  I will try and fix it myself.  Not what I would expect for boots that were $200.00.  Disappointed in Clarks
