Timberland PROMen's Disruptor Chukka St Sp S1 Fire and Safety Shoe

I got these boots having previously owned a JCB pair and before that, dewalts. Each pair lasted over 2 years. However!! These Timberlands lasted 5 months! The soles are crumbling and falling to bits!! I'm convinced they are fakes as boots this expensive do not fall to pieces in a few monthsAvoidAvoidAvoid
