I bought these in February of 2018, at the end of the month.  It is now May. I am a teacher and spend a lot of time on my feet, but I only wear these 2-3 days a week as I have other shoes I wear. The sole and tread are separating now. If these are hiking boots then the only hiking one who buys them will be doing is dream hiking. These are not worth the price of the Merrell name!  Avoid this buy!!!!!!!!
