Mine have awful sole problems like the pictures in here. I have emailed Zamberlan pictures etc. No need to post my pics cause they are just like the others on here. And tried to return to REI but this company and Zamberlan stand WAY behind their product. I had two pairs exhibit this problem. The first I swapped out. And the second made it for about 4 day hikes before falling apart. The uppers are good so maybe its just the Vibram thats junk. I will never buy vibram or Zamberlan products again. I wish I had returned them and got some boots from that Maine based company that has a lifetime warranty in their items.

So Zamberlan finally contacted me and offered to replace the boots. But it had been 2 months since I asked for help via email. I had already had my boots resoled.
