Women's Original Tall Rain Boots (Open Box)

I bought these expensive boots as I wanted something sturdy and good quality since I have horses and wear them every day. They developed a crack on the top of the foot after less than 6 months, thus becoming useless. I contacted Hunter hoping they would stand behind their boot and offer a warranty, but they told me they can't help me because I bought them from Amazon. They told me to contact Amazon. Amazon has an excellent return policy but it's for 30 days. They're not required or expected to stand behind the products they sell for more than that. Hunter claims that their boots are high quality but clearly they are not and their customer service is not either. I had a pair years ago which lasted for years but it seems quality has fallen off since then.
