Don't you just hate it when you buy something new, and feel so wonderful in them, that once you get somewhere, they break, or you find a hole or rip that you didn't see when you put them on?

I would take them back and get your money or you can check with a shoe store and see if they can be fixed. We use to have a shop that never sold shoes, but was a repair shop. I guess it's just a lost art, because it went out of business many years ago and I don't remember seeing others.
