Hi just letting everybody know if you buy steel blue boots from RESA they do not stand by their claim that you have 6months warranty. I bought a pair of steel blue boot and they lasted 7 days and the zip ripped off of the boot when it happened the boots where in immaculate condition and I contacted the store in which I purchased them in and they told me I could take them to any branch so I did unfortunately I live in a remote location and a long way from my nearest store so it took me a month before I could return them in the mean time I sunk up to my waist in a mud pit at Clunes. I retune the boots and they told me that because of the condition they were in that they would not honour the 6 month warranty but would give me a pair of second hand boots. In my eyes this is unacceptable and I believe that if you spend that kind of money on boots that you should be looked after. So I’m buying Kmart boots from now on as I had a pair of these and they lasted me 1 year and they were less than half the price. Do I feel ripped off yes will I shop RESA again no and I have spent quite a bit of money there.
