It has been like this for 6 years and I simply can't let go. My old Merrell trail shoes are just too comfortable. The uppers are coming away, a hole in each sole lets the water in, and the foam protector at the back has long gone to the landfill. But they are still the most comfortable footwear I have ever had.
I know I shouldn't, but I do.: It has been like... - Couch to 5K

Wow... they’ve seen some action! As the support and cushioning deteriorates your getting closer to barefoot, which apparently is good for us. Might be nearly time for a new out though?!

If they still feel comfortable and give you no issues after a run, then perhaps there's nothing wrong with them............but I am sure the manufacturer would disagree.
