We purchased these shoes based on the good name that Merrell supposedly has. After only a few weeks wear, the shoes started to fall apart. The rubber at the end of the toe started to peel away which was clearly a defective issue considering the shoes had only been worn for 6 weeks. When we contacted Merrell regarding this their customer service was absolutely appalling. They gave us absolutely no assistance at all and showed complete disregard for their customers.
Would not recommend this shoe to anyone, nor would I recommend ever purchasing anything from Merrell. The quality that you pay for is simply not there and if something goes wrong - they will treat you very poorly.
