Vapor Glove 6 Trail Running Shoe

Merrell, please hear me. I have been a die hard fan of vapor gloves since versions 3 &4. They are the most comfortable barefoot shoes I've ever worn. It is with a heavy heart i give them 1 stars. While their look and fit has improved every version, the durability of the sole is still terrible. I've wasted probably thousands of dollars on these because the sole lasts about a month AT MOST before wearing holes in the heel. Unfortunately no other barefoot shoes have the same feel, flexibility, grip, and toe space so I keep burning my money. I understand that thin soles wear faster, but vivo barefoot has soles this thin that last months and months longer. PLEASE fix this or I'll have to switch completely to Vivobarefoot. I'm so tired of duct taping, gluing, and patching my shoes with flex seal. Nothing works. Please, fix this. The photos I've attached are flex seal I've applied to try and fix it. Looks like it will wear out within a day and does not work.
