This customer review is for the trio: Brown/Windsor Smith/ Made in China -man made upper leather boots. Congratulation for this trio, which won the 1st place for the worst boots/shoes I have ever wear in my life. The main culprit I consider to be Windsor Smith-Au, but the company is hiding quite efficient from customer reviews submitted in USA and Canada. I am from Thornhill, near Toronto, Canada.
The extremely bad: the upper leader “plastic” layer started to exfoliate from the under “textile” support, after only the most 16 occasions to wear the boots (in total in the first 2 years). You can see this fact from the 3 photos I attached to this review. The interesting fact is that the first 2 big areas of exfoliation were in parts of the boots without creases on them. I bought these boots to wear them only in my annual ski days – to drive the car and to walk in the ski village from the parking spot to the ski slope and back. The 2nd use was to shovel the snow after its fall, in which you step mostly behind a plastic shovel in a clean aria. Per year it means the most 4-5 ski days and 4-5 significantly snow clearing days. Of course, I had in the Shoe shop doubts about their durability, but I was tricked by another “Aldo” pair of looks like boots, bought 2 years earlier, which were and still are my winter daily wearing boots.
The good things: 1. The sole quality for winter boots. It will survive in very good condition when my boots will go to complete garbage (yes, I still wear them as a punishment for my stupidity-credibility and to remember). 2. Their nice, classic design, at least valid for me.
