This is my 2nd pair..I actually use them for work and they have been the lightest and most comfortable boots I've found..My feet are always dry..I love these boots and recommend them to anyone looking for comfort and dry feet.
I have used these boots to take walks through muddy/snowy wooded paths and also on snow covered sidewalks through town. They do keep my feet warm and dry, have a nice toe box with room to move, and seem to have better than average traction on slippery snow/ice mix. Sort of an old school style boot but they work well for my needs and are fairly lightweight.
This is a great pair of boots and the price is reasonable for such an excellent brand!, It looks and feels good in your hands. It is compact, comfortable and will last a while. In addition, it gives you some height and gets attention when you wear it! Wow!
i wear these daily but i am pretty hard on shoes. my previous identical pair lasted me 11 months, before blowing out the side seam and leaking. This is better than the keens, timberlands, and lower priced merrells that last me about 6 months before they fall to pieces. The round shoe laces that come w/ them do not stay tied. They are waterproof for awhile, but subsequently do not breathe very well. Still, the most durable and comfortable every day boot i have found for the price.
These boots are great for light outdoor activities. They feel more like a supportive shoe than a robust hiking boot. They have been wonderful for long hikes with the dog, but I don't feel they would hold up for a strenuous backpacking trip. I have used them in the snow and I have not had an issue with the waterproofing. They feel true to size. I typically wear a 10.5 and that is the size I wear in most Merrell shoes. They are roomy and can easily be worn with thick socks. The boots look nice and are a solid choice for causal hiking.
Right shoe is already splitting at seam, haven't had this happen to any other merrell's I have owned. Love the boots so sad to see this. Only been wearing them for a month or two.
I have been wearing Men's size 10.5 Merrell boots for years and was disappointed that these run at least a half size big. They were being discontinued and when I tried to return for a smaller size they were all sold out. Worse I had bought 2 pairs so now I'll be in boots that are too big for years. They were a good price and good quality. I just wish that a 10.5 boot in Merrell was always the same size. They are comfortable on my feet, I can't say the same about 4 different pairs of Keens I attempted and finally gave up on.
I have had these boots for just on three months and wear orthotics in them. I found them very comfortable on the fifteen or so day hikes I did over that period on mountain paths. However, I have just returned from a 5-day hiking trail which included a lot of boulder clambering. The sole grip on the dry boulders was superb but by the third day the toe piece stitching was wearing through and had started to come adrift. Clearly the stitched edge of the rather narrow toe cap was catching on the boulders. For my next pair of boots I will look for a more substantial toe cap.
I sure the boot itself was fine although for me it was a bit too tight. The real reason I didn't want to hang onto it was the low cut. I couldn't tell from the picture that it was lower than the last pair I had.
This is very interesting because I was going to call tomorrow to let you guys know that the boots you sold me they already broken they didn't last a month.
