Bova Munich safety boot

My company bought me a Bova Munich Boot in March 2018. It comes with a 6month warranty but I never pay attention to it as I always thought Bova was a good brand. After 7 months it was raining and I noticed my socks were wet in my boots, only to look underneath and see both boots were cracked badly (lucky I never step in any chemicals). When taking the boot back to the supplier who was Safety and Allied. They told me that nothing could be done because the warranty was over. I am appalled that a boot that was R590 can only last 7 months. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER BOVA BOOT!! When a cheaper boot has never given me this problem.
