Bought a £18 pair of JoJoMamanBebe wellies 3 weeks ago. By last weekend the sides had split on both boots (about 5cm long split) and water and sand were pouring into DS (3)'s wellies.
Previous JoJo wellies have outlasted 2 kids so I assumed this was a freak occurrence/materials issue. Returned them today, no receipt, shop lovely about exchanging them no problem - but then went on to admit there've been a number of similar returns and Head Office says they're "fashion boots" and not meant to be used seriously. If you want proper wellies you have to go to an outdoor shop apparently!
Given previous models lasted years, the price, and the fact that kids' wellies are going to get a hard time and should be designed for such use, AIBU to be shocked by Head Office's attitude? He's had them 3 weeks, but he's only worn them a few days within that... so basically I've bought £18 disposable wellies.
A warning: If your kids actually want to wear their wellies, you might want to avoid JoJo in future.

AIBU?
AIBU to be annoyed: JoJo wellies last 3 weeks. Shop says they're not supposed to last...
