text: The inside part of the heel of the shoe has separated from the shoe itself on the last two pairs I have purchased. This has happened on both pairs within months of purchase. The soles are barely worn and the shoe is falling apart. Shoddy work, cheap glue, crappy quality.<br />Whatever Merrell used to be in the 90s before the company was bought and sold multiple times, their shoes are crap now. I would look elsewhere for a quality hiker.
