Baffin won't acknowledge clear defects in their products
As with many others, and documented on numerous review sites, Baffins "Yellowknife design" boots, with the stitching between the rubber and fabric, is highly flawed and they refuse to acknowledge this. After only wearing them a dozen times, and on both feet, split in almost exactly the same way.
I've gone through 2 pairs of these boots (my retailer offered to swap them the first time). The first was the 2024-25 winter season and the second was the 25-26 season. I then contacted customer service, provided photos and they determined, I quote: "After carefully reviewing the photos of your boots, we’ve determined that the issue is due to normal wear and tear rather than a manufacturing defect." This is 100% false and, if it's true, their warranty clearly establishes that less than a season of wear is normal for this to happen.
But don't take my word for it, this is well documented online. Search for reviews of the boots and you will see multiple cases of the exact same defect and similar responses from Baffin.
