If you start to get too many shoes you will have to buy an Australian Shepard puppy, the puppy will eat some of your shoes and hide the rest. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, I looked at those last night! That ad came up and I looked and wanted. My problem is that I need a narrow size and have low foot volume, so most shoes don't fit me right. I sure wanted the ones I saw, though, I liked all the brown-esque ones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am dealing with shoe situations right now, on a much smaller scale. My mother had returned something from Sierra Trading Post a while back and gave me the credit, so I ordered something that gave me the best chance at a decent fit and basic utility for next winter and kinda looked ok. Didn't fit, sending them back. Also, I have a defective pair of Merrell shoes, the trim is has ground away the mesh fabric where they meet. I figured that this would probably be common defect and called the company, and sure enough, they said they would replace them no problem. I think great, I will wear these until I get the replacements, but I got the instructions via email, and I have to cut the tongues out of the defective shoes and take a photo of the shoe killing. Probably they have a lot of folks gaming them for free shoes or somesuch, but I am wondering if I can cut these in a way and re-sew the tongues back in and wear the frankenshoes a bit longer until the replacements arrive. At any rate, free shoes! Plus, it is nice when a company stands behind their product, so that is cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some Merrell hiking boots I got at REI that are almost worn out on the bottoms, and nothing has gone wrong with the trim or mesh. I evened them out on the soles and heels a little bit with a grinder and a rasp about 6 months ago, but they're getting beyond saving on the soles.

Yeah, I have been getting their shoes for the past 7 years or so, and not had problems until the previous model. I bet somebody got fired for the fabric choice.

I've already gone to a shoe repair guy with something similar, and it's a waste of time and money. A lot of the newer stuff was not designed to be repaired.

It hurt to cut them up, I am all sad. On the other hand, I get a new pair of shoes out of the deal, so I am happy, too. I have complex shoe emotions. I ultimately decided the Sierra Trading Company boots fit ok after trying them on again, especially for the price. They misrouted them and misrouted them again, and I complained a bit and they gave me another $20 off. The end result is I have a pair of $150 waterproof boots for a little over $14 all said and done. The aren't the ideal boot, but you wear the boot you have (plus the price is right). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
