Worst Shoes

I bought a pair of Salomon Speed Cross 4, December 17 for R1999. Within 2 months, the material on the inner part of the shoes started to tear. May 2019, 1½ year later, on both shoes, the material on the sides started to tear as well. This is unexceptable, will never buy Salomon again. Merrell shoes is the way to go. Had 2 pairs, both lasted 5 year plus.
