Has anyone had an issue with the eco-panel falling apart, ripping at the sewed stitches or just plain degrading?
I was told by a reputable source they’re made from apple peels… I think you’re supposed to clean them with lemon water or something
Yes. I had a terrible experience last year with my custom boots falling apart in 5 months. I kept riding in them for the rest of the season because I didn’t have any other show boots and by the time I sent them back to get repairs they were hanging on by threads.
Having said that, they look beautiful since I got them back. Like they look brand new. I’ll be very careful to not wear them for anything other than showing this time…
So, I have a pair of off the shelf Fabbris and I LOVE them. Going on 6 years and no major flaws. I used to ride multiple horses a day and work all day in them and they’re wonderful.
my business partner has a pair of custom and then got the veg off the rack for Christmas this past year and they’re already falling apart!! Insane. So yes, it’s a common problem. Too bad because I absolutely love my real leather ones.
It does seem that the company is willing to fix them. Just hard to part with once we are showing again. Mine aren’t that bad yet, but it’s coming I’m sure. Thanks for all of the input.
