Trail Glove 7 Hiking Sneaker

I've been a longstanding Merrell customer and had 4 trial gloves so far and these are the absolute worst. First, the sizing was off. They were smaller and somehow wider and hence much less comfortable than previous ones. But the absolute worst thing about them is the quality. The sole wore off within a couple of months and the fabric and threads started ripping within half a year of use or so. Older models lasted years. In fact, I still have a pair that I bought in 2018. It looks used and discolored but I can still wear it. To me, it's completely absurd. All this focus on sustainability and recycled fabric and then you create a product that lands in the bin after a little more than half a year. To me that's just green washing and dishonest business practice. Deeply disappointed and will look for another brand.
