Timberland Work Boots Soles fell off

Bought a pair of Timberland Pro 8" work boots. After nine (9) months of work use in construction the sole on the right boot separated from the bottom of the boot. Called Timberland for warranty support and was told to pack sand. The boots were more than twelve (12) months past date of purchase. This truly pissed me off. The company I work for reimburses me the cost of one pair of boots per year. If the boots I'm wearing last more than a year, as Red Wings always do, the boots I've most recently purchased tend to stay in the closet for six (6) months or so. But to me that's neither here nor there. That Timberland won't stand behind their product is what
really upsets me. The internet and YOU TUBE are full of complaints and videos of just the sort of problem I experienced. Bought boots because they were half the price of Red Wings. Never again. Check out YOU TUBE videos of Timberland crap boots falling apart. Boots were made in the Dominican Republic.
