Very bad quality rubber soles!!
I bought TWICE in Italy, in different times and different locations their classic Chelsea boots 500 with their "soft" rubber soles and, after few years (and of course after their two years warranty period!!) the soft rubber soles of BOTH of them, started to have a sort of chemical degradation that created several cracks on both left and right shoes on their bottom sides, even if I used them very few times; so the issue was NOT related of wear of use, but just a sort of "expiration" time of the rubber structure itself that started to become like butter, because of chemical aging of the rubber! I have rubber soles shoes since 20 (TWENTY!!) years, and they still are in perfect state (not to mention the Eternal life span of the Mythical Vibram rubber soles that I have under different shoes, and that they keep ignoring on their products!). When I complained about this problem on their Italian branch, they replied (of course!!!) the shoes were out of warranty... good bye! By the way, consider that you're buying a good upper leather shoes, but with a sh...y soft rubber quality soles that after few years (no matter their use) you have to throw away, or replace with a new VIBRAM mod. "Trento" soles (with about 50/70 additional euros!). So, be careful with these shoes!
