So there is a tear in your rain-boot and you think you will never find a pair that felt so comfy and served you so well on the many rainy days while out walking the dog. That's probably true because I have already bought another pair and I don't like them as much. These boots are staying and will decorate the tree area where I feed the squirrels every morning. It's a 'not so pretty' area of the yard that could use some colour so there you go....live on faithful boots.
