UA Men's Valsetz RTS 1.5 Tactical Boots (Open Box)

Although I bought these shoes a few years ago, and this review is long overdue, this is my experience. I've used them less than 15 times because I like them so much, got into the habit of only use them for special occasions and never work, although they're intended for that. The shoes never got wet or submitted to any kind of chemical whatsoever. The deterioration of the material started little less than a year from the purchase and progressed until I stopped using them. I have bought shoes from this brand before and never had this kind of problem, it would seem that it's a manufacturing problem for this lot. In any case I would like to know if anyone else experience the same issues.
