I have a pair of size 12 Salewa Raven Combis, which I bought in March. I have done maybe 140 miles in them since then (a few break-in hikes in Arizona, about 8-10 peaks in Europe, and a couple hikes in the Olympics in Washington). They have been showing quite a bit of wear from what I would consider a small amount of wear. The sole on the toe of the boot is nearly completely worn through, the rubber rand is peeling, the lace guides at the bottom that pinch the laces are bent, and a few of the treads have broken off of the sole. I do not know if this is normal, but I spent $300 on these boots so as a student I don't have a ton of $300's lying around to buy boots with...
Is this normal?
Is there a boot that could perform better?
Thanks.
