Thanks nutnfancy. Very educational. Great review
Great stuff, you’re really helping me choosing my first hiking boots.
I’ve had some problems with Vibram soles, where two different rubbers in the sole that were glued came a part. That was on my Merell Overdrives, but I think that was a defect as it happened pretty quickly so I got them replaced for free and the second pair weren’t as bad, but still not perfect.
You can re-stitch a boot, and you can also re-glue a boot as well, but IMO it is better to take it to a cobbler and have them do it, than to do it yourself, as they have much better tools and materials to do it with.
I’m using this info when i buy my work boots too…
excellent vid, and I agree merrell and vibram are top notch
