Hiking boots with treads

Perfectly suited for winter hikes, as the soles have embedded metal spikes to enhance grip on the ground even in snow and ice conditions. Unfortunately, I bought them here from a dishonest seller, brand new, but she failed to mention that one boot is missing hooks on one side. I wore them once, but haven't managed to take them to a cobbler, where the hooks can be easily replaced. (Defect visible in the picture)
