Congrats on your purchase! I have both the wolverine 1000s and the katadhins (regular version) and I reach for the katadhins more often in bad weather. It's a little narrower and like you said, the sole is better for its purpose. I took a look at my katadhins and I actually never noticed it but it does have a little separation like yours even when I don't pull on it. I've worn it for a couple years and it never came off though. It's probably just cosmetic. I'm not sure how you even found that out, I never pull on the heels of any of my shoes. However, even if it isn't, I would keep wearing it until it breaks down and then have LL Bean fix / replace it for you. They are pretty good about those things. Enjoy your boots!
