![]() While the boot may have a durability issue, this is not a problem because they will replace them. This is outstanding service and without the phone call I would have never known about this. I gave the information and in one week I had a new pair of boots. They told me to look inside the boot for size sticker this also has the date of manufacture and what factory made the boot. I contacted Salomon Company and asked what type of glue should I use to repair my boots. ![]() I knew I had the boots for less than two years, but no way to prove it. I did buy these boots from Adventure 16, but didn’t have my receipt. The following is pictures of the boot failure. ![]() I tested for leaks and it was OK the soles are soft so I feel the rubber just closed upon itself. The other thing, which bothered me was on my very first hike I stepped on a cactus thorn and it went about 1 inch into the sole. I have been carrying approximately 25 pounds and bushwhacking when I started to feel the boots coming apart. I put about 400 miles and the exact thing happened to me. They had a few that claim the boot comes apart at the sole. This was correct for all the reviews I read. They are light and the lace system is great. I read the reviews and went to Adventure 16 and REI to try these boots. ![]() The disadvantage is a larger group can help you make more informed purchases and not spend countless hours or hikes with equipment failure. As a solo hiker I love the freedom to hike where I want as long as I want. ![]()
