Heritage Stockman Cowboy Boot

Bought these boots in the fall of 2021. Have worn them on and off since - periods of daily use and during the warmer months, limited to evenings/weekends where I need something above athletic footwear. Overall, they have worn well - except for the stitching. The soles are still reasonable, the leather still looks good (I don't abuse them), but they are quite literally falling apart at the seams. I haven't found anyone locally who'll consider re-stitching them and since Ariat re-new program is run by a third party, am hesitant to use them (as they now want you to authorize them substituting a different product if they can't renew your boot). 1+1/2 years and the stitching fails (but the soles have visible tread & the heel isn't worn down) is not acceptable - especially given the purchase price.
