My husband only recently wore these camping boots. I bought them a few months ago in anticipation of summer kayaking trips. He wore them for about 5 hours, we went to a small pond. We didn't do any hikes, just sat by the water and kayaked several times. The bottom of his right boot was completely torn off, I'd say 1/3. I bought a Teva (4 pairs) for the whole family and it just fell apart. So disappointed I don't know why they did it and I can't go back. 40 bucks down the drain.
