I took a photo of the sole of this show and wish I could show it. Paid a bunch of money at the local mountaineering shop for a Vasque Wasatch GTX 10.5 men's Wide. I liked the boot, but after a short number of backpacks, the sole literally self-destructed, making it unuseable, (maybe) even for training hikes. The uppers are in great shape, but as noted by many reviewers, the softer (assumedly) vibram part of the sole separates and actually splits and falls off from the harder material above it. Disappointing.

I've used some Hi-Tec boots that cost about 1/4 as much as these, and lasted approx. 10 times longer.

Anyways, will bring it back to local shop to see what they have to say. No doubt its out of warranty, as I only use these for backpacking and nothing else.
