Merrells product - Useless

I was there last year to buy me the Merrells shoes as it was highly recommended by the internet as well as the sales person. Not even a year later, the whole sole came loose on the top of the shoe and it is open which means i can not use it anaymore. I paid so much money for it as it was guaranteed at the tekkie town that it is a good product but none the less.. I was really dissapointed. Wow
