Only three months and very little use, my boots began delaminating at the toes. I contacted lems to have them refund or replace the cost of the boots, but because I had tried to waterproof them with beeswax and not the otterwax they sell, they refused to do anything for me. I have read other reviews about these boots that refer to the issue of delamination as well, but thought I'd give them a chance. I would highly discourage anyone from spending so much money on a defective product. I would give these boots no stars if that was an option.
