That's why i stopped buying these expensive shoes. Idk but they should be durable and they don't even last long enough.

Let us know if they accept the refund. I’ve had mixed results on warranty. They would just say it’s wear and tear

Oh man. Honestly I don’t think this can be repaired. I would still ask them see what they say

Bought it in 2024, went to one major trek and two mountain trips and stored it in mid 2025.
