I wear that exact same boot, plus two other pair of Hanwags. I currently have approximately 800+ miles on these boots and to date they have not begun to break down. They have been soaked and been subjected to slimy goo and overall have not been treated very well. I have hiked in mountainous rocks and swamps. When this pair wears out I will probably buy another pair. I am sorry that you have had issues with yours, but all of my Hanwags so far have not given me any problems.
