How did it break? What were you doing? Was the buckle down tight?

how is it a gimmik?
i wish every boot was like the spk!
but i can see how the buckle would break where yours did. use more of the micro and less of the bale... youll get in just as snug, and there will be no breaking.

yes i have tried them on, they are shaped at 90 degrees to make everyone look like they are tanner hall( really backseat style) the gel layer in the bottom of the boot also makes them less stable than a boot with half a gel sole or juist hard in the bottom
