Renaissance Imports Autumn Run Girls Gemma II Boots

What went wrong

The notice saysAn exposed staple in the sole of the boot presents a laceration hazard to the consumer.

Cut hazards in footwear almost always come from metal parts: thread, wire, studs, rivets or trim. They tend to show up after some wear, when linings thin out or edges lift. A quick run of your fingers along the inside of the shoe will often reveal the problem the notice describes.
