Hi all, has anyone else bought the Alpine X Ultra Mids and seen this sort of wear on their first walk? I was walking on quite flat terrain and I can't figure out what caused them to become damaged so quickly. Have contacted the Warranty department and they said there are no known defects with the boots.

The only thing I can think of is the upper metal shoe laces hooks could have caught this part of the boot, but have literally never seen this occur before. Bit stumped and annoyed this has occurred considering their price point.
