## Discrepancy

C156-2 BLADE BOOTS FAILED.  THE RUBBER IS DELAMINATING.  WE HAVE SEEN THIS FROM 3 PAIRS OF THE LATEST REVISION OF BOOTS AND HAVE PRESENTED IT TO THE MANUFACTURER.  THEY DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM EXISTING.  CONFRENCE WITH OTHER OPERATORS CONFIRMS OUR EXPERIENCE BEING WIDESPREAD.
