I talked with Josh in service and made sure and got an RA # and his name. For what it is worth, after sending my boots in 4 days ago (and mentioning to Josh how quickly I needed them back for Dirtweek), I received a message from Josh on my answering machine explaining that the boots had been repaired (free of charge) and were being shipped out that same day. Sidi and No-Toil have both gone to great lengths of customer service, and that is a big deal to me, not to mention, very refreshing.
