Just received these from an online retailer who happened to have my size in stock. How would the users here handle this situation?
These have been in stock in my size for several weeks with a reputable online retailer. After weeks of being on the fence about it, I decided to go through with buying them. This is my first pair of Wescos, and my first pair of >$500 pair of boots. I was pretty disappointed to see this scuffing damage on the boots when I opened the box. I purchased these as factory firsts and paid full price.
Is this common? Should I reach out to the retailer? Should I just look into getting them repaired locally? Is this not that big of a deal? Obviously, I bought these to wear them, and knew that scuffing them up was a part of owning boots, but I’ve bought factory second Red Wings that were in way better shape than these. I’m genuinely not sure how to respond.
I’m curious to hear the community’s thoughts.
