2nd identical pair bought for hiking in mountain and trekking. Extremely disappointed by the first pair who had not taken three months (vibram sole heel peeling off and coming piercing the abrasion by the shoe upper). The second pair is even worse since the sole began to peel after 4 days / 40 km! After three weeks Waterproofing is nonexistent and the interior shows signs of significant wear. After six weeks, the shoe is like a sieve, vibram sole peeling in several places and just dig footwear, intecalaire foam is completely collapsed and the ankle becomes disastrous amplifying my natural pronation. However, I am an average size 1m80 for 80 kg. Anyway, good to put in the trash in less than two months, which is a bit embarrassing for designer shoes goretex. Despite a message for service Merell with photos, no response. I strongly recommend these shoes to go except the bread or mushrooms. I can not believe whether it is a manufacturing defect because the 2 pairs have had the same problem. Rather a major design flaw, especially on the sole binding / boot.
