SALEWA MS FIRETAIL EVO GTX Men's trekking and hiking boots (shoes)

Customer Review

I bought the Shun SALEWA MS FIRETAIL EVO GTX Men Trekking in April 2014 at Amazon, and often had in normal use: city, forest meadow - no trekking, climbing or any other operations which may be described as extreme.

In general, I can say that the shoe:

+ Easy
+ Comfortable
+ And by design is absolutely great.
+ The Vibram sole and Goretex make (should do) the shoe allwerter fit.
+ Even in the summer months I have had the feeling that my feet do not sweat it.
+ When rain and ropes on the lawn I came initially through dry.

In the early stages I was very excited. But. then it went to the small and later unfortunately going on with the big issues:

-The Soffummantelung the ankle was the first by and dissolved. It seemingly as if the plastic has frayed under the material from below.
-an the places at the front of the shoe, where the material bends slightly when rolling small cracks have only shown that are subsequently turned into holes
-also the Goretex membrane seem to be affected
-in consequence the shoes are no longer approach Waterproof or even water repellent
-the sole got to a shoe bottom of a crack !!

The great shoe has absolutely lost the functionality !!!

Now the question arises: I caught a Monday or production is the resistance of the materials used in fact so short.

As mentioned above, the application range is limited to the daily use in the city and walking the dog on soft terrain.

When I once again came from the walk with absolutely sodden feet today, it was enough for me !!

I called customer service from Amazon and explained the situation.

+++++ At this point, kudos to Amazon !!!! +++++
I was offered without any problems 2 options: 1. refund or 2. Exchange

So a service you do not find everywhere.

As the shoes were really great - up to the point at which they are somewhat fallen apart :-)) - I have decided to exchange and I hope that the new couple simply lifts long I'll report here.

For the first two months scarce I can give it 5 stars. Then unfortunately only 2. Maybe I'll be able to correct it upwards if the new couple is simply more robust.
