Comments about Merrell Outland Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots - Men's:
I have not done any distance hiking in a long time and was concerned about going to the Ozark Mountains for a lot of hiking without knowing anything about what shoes to buy. The Rep at REI pointed me in the right direction for sure. These boots were perfect for my feet. They had no need for break in, I put over 20 miles on them on rugged terrain in Arkansas the week I bought them. I had no blisters and no soreness. They held up great and provided more than adequate support.

Great boots. Very comfortable and durable. Took the boots out on a day hike and they were fantastic. No problems on rugged terrain and they keep the feet dry. Would recommend them to anyone.

Comments about Merrell Outland Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots - Men's:
I have used a pair of Merrell Moab Ventilator cross trainers for a couple of years and loved them right out of the box. Went to REI recently the night before a 25 mile backpacking trip through the Savage Gulf in TN to get a few items and happened across a pair of Outland Mids on the clearance rack. They were new just no box to go with them. Didn't go to purchase boots but had been thinking about getting some mids for a while and decided to try them out. I normally wear a 10 but these were an 11 and fit perfectly, so the reviews that these run a bit small are accurate. They felt so good that I decided to go ahead and wear these on the hike and never regretted it. They were incredibly comfortable and the water proofing came in very handy as it rained on us every day of the trip. Overall I would recommend these for anyone looking for an upgrade. Great boots and great price too.

Comments about Merrell Outland Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots - Men's:
1)Very comfortable and excellent grip on flat rock
2)The inside top lace eye loop can tend to stick out to far causing you to hook your opposite boot when it brushes against it.

Comments about Merrell Outland Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots - Men's:
Very comfortable right out of the box. I have used these in all terrains from the American west to the Sahara. Very comfortable in the field & the city. Probably not the best choice for heavy backpacking, but with a light pack or just hiking they are comfortable all day long.
My only complaint is that the soles are wearing out after not quite three years. Perhaps that's all one should expect these days; I had hoped for better.

Comments about Merrell Outland Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots - Men's:
So far I have hiked twice in them over terrain that wasn't really rugged but wasn't flat at all. I risked not breaking them in first and so far have not experienced any hot spots on the majority of my foot. The toe seems a little cramped when coming down steep terrain. I still have doubts about the durability of the boots, especially with the cloth eyelets for the laces but guess we shall see on that.

Comments about Merrell Outland Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots - Men's:
I went through 2 pairs of these last year, on a mix of day-hikes, single night backpacks, and one 7-day backpack. Probably around 250-300 trail miles total.
The first pair, a bunch of the lugs ripped off after about 20-30 trail miles, exposing the leather inner sole. So I took them back, and REI was gracious enough to exchange them for me. Second pair, same thing, lugs tore off after not many miles. I took them, missing lugs and all, on an 80-mile trek, and they held up fine on that one - no additional damage, no water leakage, plenty comfortable, no rocks jabbing my feet.
After a bit of a break from hiking (2 months or so), I took them out on a 6-miler to kick off the new season. They were very comfortable. I think after about 150 miles or so, the second pair is reaching a really nice broken-in state.
But I think this year, I will probably look for another brand, something more durable that I won't have to replace so frequently. I'd recommend these for day-hiking, not heavy loads, and not for tough terrain (shale, scree, etc). I think these are probably more like entry-level boots.

Comments about Merrell Outland Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots - Men's:
I've only had these a couple of months but have put a lot of miles on them. I've done a lot of hiking in snow 6"-12" deep and the only wetness has been from snow coming in from the top of the shoe. Have been very happy so far with the waterproofing and warmth of these shoes. I would not use these for summer hiking. They are great for winter hiking and have used my crampons most of the time with these. Time will tell as for their longevity.
