Specialized is going to get a very unhappy email from me.

You might recall that I bought these shoes in June of this year.  They are less than three months old.

I don’t walk on the toes or otherwise mistreat them. The stitching on the left shoe came apart first. The right shoe has  followed in recent days.

Looks like a design defect to me.   I  don’t think a replacement pair is an unreasonable expectation.  If those come apart we’ll just have to deal with that when it happens.
