L.L. Bean Sz 8.5 Womens walking trail hiking shoes

Women's trail shoes Size 8.5 M Charcoal grey with navy accents Little to no obvious wear on sole, these are marked waterproof, but the vinyl like covering on both toes has cracked - see second photo - the issue is similar on both shoes - it doesn't appear to have effected the shoe underneath, but that thin waterproof covering is cracked all along the toe of each shoe. see comments for additional info
