Worst shoes I’ve ever owned – Mammut Ducan II Low GTX (Men, Black)
I regret ever buying these shoes. After a single forest walk, the front of the right shoe got punctured, making the Gore-Tex lining completely useless against rain. I had to tape the shoe with duct tape just to keep going.
It only got worse from there:
• After 700 km of walking, the soles were already heavily worn down.
• After first forest walk there was a puncture that made Gore-Tex useless.
• By 1500 km, the shoes were outright dangerous — I was slipping on most surfaces.
• Shortly after, the sole of the other shoe wore through completely, leaving a hole at the bottom front and destroying the waterproofing on the left shoe as well.
To make matters worse, Mammut’s customer support was slow, unhelpful, and frustrating. It took me 3 months of back-and-forth just to get back 60% of the purchase price.
This was the most expensive pair of shoes I’ve ever bought, and also the worst. They lasted barely 7 months before becoming unusable. For comparison: my old Salomon shoes lasted 6 years and over 5000 km, cost half the price, and are still in better condition today.
Mammut’s quality has become an abomination — worse than Decathlon, despite charging a premium price. Honestly, I don’t think I will ever trust Mammut again. Enshitification at its finest.
