Tseekins: I retired as a Letter Carrier after 31 years, and had a similar problem with the New Balance company. After going back and forth with them over a month or two, I emailed them and told them I wanted replacements or I was going to write to the NALC HQ in Washington, figuring they would put some pressure on whoever screens the shoe suppliers. I also told them I would write a letter to the NALC magazine, where Letter Carriers all over the USA would read it. Three (3) days later I recieved my replacements and a letter of apology.........................

All I can say is Meindl. Yep check them out. ::: MEINDL ::: Shoes for Actives :::
Been wearing them for about 15 yrs and on my 2nd boot. Granted, I have not been wearing them everyday for the last few yrs but still a very good constructed, waterproof boot. In fact all the special ops are wearing them around these parts.

I also always try the nice route first, but its always shortlived. I kinda hate to admit it, but I get more fair treatment by being a large strong man, and using my "outdoor" voice, then using fair polite logic.
