Description

Saw boots advertised on FB. They were described as Tactical Waterproof Work boots. They were advertised as made in Brocton, MA. I sent the company an email asking details about them being USA made. A response email said the ad was an accurate representation of the product. I placed the order. My bank notated the transaction as from a Chinese company. The shoes were shipped to me several weeks later from California. They arrived in a plastic bag with no tags, no accompanying documentation. Although looking like the boots in the FB ad, they were not as advertised. No Vibram (tm) soles, no Gore-Tex (tm) lining, no reinforced safety toe, no speed laces, not at all waterproof, no arch support. cheap zippers and pulls. The label inside shows a poor representation of an American flag, the size, and a slogan. I tried to find information from the Metro South Chamber of Commerce about a possible US manufacturer there. Does not exist. These are deliberately misrepresented with fraudulent, misleading information. On top of that, not particularly comfortable even after I added some arch support insoles. Looking for corroboration on the BBB website, I now see numerous similar complaints about this company for the same and similar products advertised on Facebook.
