Uppers start wearing through almost immediately
Bought hiking boots just before lockdown. Extremely comfortable but the uppers started cracking almost immediately. Now the soles show almost no wear but there are cracks in the fabric on both sides of both feet, the worse being at the bend of the big toe. They now let in water even when it rains, walking through dewy grass or a shallow puddle. This happened on a previous pair of Merrell trail running shoes I had. Replaced once but new ones had exactly same problem. Despite comfort, will not buy Merrell products again as clearly a design flaw.
