Two years ago I bought a pair of Whisper Boots. The leather is soft and boots are very comfortable. Fast forward to the present day. Bought two more pairs of whisper boots, in two different colours. The leather is hard and unyielding!! Making them very uncomfortable. I sent them back. Sooooo disappointing! I would love to hear from quality control. Hi, thank you for taking time to offer us your feedback. We are sorry to hear of your disappointment with the quality of the leather used on the Whisper boots. Please be assured any feedback received is passed on to the relevant departments. If we can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. Kind regards Lilian.
