Hunter Women's Play Short Boot (9, 10) (Open Box)

Purchased these boots in September 2018. I have wide feet and was a bit concerned ordering slip on boots without trying them on first, but read about the fit and reviews and chose the 8. Im usually an 8.5 in normal width shoes but the 8 fits beautifully fit these. I was very excited about these boots as Hunter has a wonderful reputation and I wanted high quality durable boots that would keep my feet dry. Wore these to outdoor sports events throughout the fall months and wore during winter months to keep feet dry when slushy. I definitely used them however wasn't especially hard on the boots, and was disappointed to find the upper inner lining pulled away from the rubber on my left boot a few months ago, and just last week noticed the entire bottom of the left boot is pulling away from the upper. I was very surprised at this development, as I was under the impression these were looking lasting, highly durable rubber boots and paid the price expecting such. These would absolutely be 5 star in my opinion if not for the quality flaw. I can't replace such boots semi annually, so I'll be researching to see if there's a warranty or repair option that would apply, or will just buy cheap boots that would be easier to replace.
