STC Shire Work Boot

 STC Shire Work Boot

Coming soon, my personal first hand experience with STC Footwear and the Shire work boot.

 For now, look at the photos of my pair of STC Shire work boots.  They are about a year old with casual use and the glue used is failing and the soles on the boots are separating from the boot.

STC has a 6 moth warranty on their boots and needless to say that I am not impressed that this Canadian company has no interest in standing behind the design and choice of materials used in the STC Shire boot past their 6 month warranty period.

Photos of the STC Shire work boot where the soles are falling off of the boots due to the glue failing:
