"Loved the shoe when I first opened up the box. It was a little tight at first but I have found out with Merell's that they just need to be broken in. About one week later, I got the shoe broken in and loved them. However, about a month of wearing this shoe I notice a small tear in the back of the heel. No idea how this happen. I have seen similar issues with other models of Merrell shoes but figured it was a confined issued with those models. It seems like Merrell's quality is beginning to really slip. I plan to e-mail them but I would recommend those who are contemplating on buying this shoe to really look else where. Very disappointed."
