Merrell Expedition Mountaineering Boot - Men's
Disappointed

About nine months to a year after I bought these boots, which incidentally gave me some serious blisters and still do, I had one of the lacing hooks break off--POW!, just like that. I contacted Merrell, and they basically told me that I was out of luck--they didn't have anything set up to deal with anything like that. A little while ago, I had a SECOND lacing hook break off. In my opinion, these hooks are not the kind of thing that should be wearing out on a boot like this, especially since, by Merrell's own admission, they cannot be replaced.
