[Resolved]  Woodland Shoes — trekking boots

I bought a pair of woodland boots from a mall in Gurgaon in January this year. Within a day of doing so, the fastener for securing the lace from one boot came off. I took it to the retail shop who replaced it without a question. I then returned to my home town of Madikeri in Karnataka and then went on a trek into the Himalayas. On the first day the same problem that I had experienced recurred. Then a few days later the 'eye-hole' for the lace also broke. This caused me great discomfort and inconvenience while trekking.
I will say, however, that the sole of the boots remained in good condition despite the rough wear and the harsh environment.
