Merrell Shoes: Long Term Durability Review- Are They Still Dependable Or Quality Has Taken A Dive?

Hi everyone! The Merrell footwear company is known to produce dependable and reliable shoes that are supposed to last a long time. In this video, I go over the long term durability of 6 popular Merrell models I’ve used in the past ten years. Used for hiking, road and trail running, obstacle course races and weightlifting, I discovered they all fail in the same places. Some of the newer models also fail a lot sooner than expected from a Merrell shoe. Bad manufacturing or design flaws? Join me and find out if Merrell is the best choice for long lasting, sturdy and robust shoes!
