Comments about Merrell Wilderness Hiking Boots - Men's:

I've had these boots for about 7 months now. They take a while to break in, I would say about 4-5 months in my case. I've been using them for everything from light day hikes to multi-night backpacks. I haven't had any major problems with the boots so far. They're a great, sturdy, pair of boots for the backcountry. I wouldn't recommend them on the pavement as they offer no shock absorption what so ever. They're great for carrying a heavy load. They do scuff up, at least the black does. I treat them with Sno-Seal for water proofing and it does help to cover the scuffs as well. I find them to be very comfortable when used with superfeet insoles. They are pretty warm. My feet tend to get a little sweaty in them so I always use sock liners. I haven't experienced any of the sole separation issues that others have discussed, but I will update my review if I do.

Comments about Merrell Wilderness Hiking Boots - Men's:

I'll begin with a description of the problem with the Merrill Wilderness boot [...]. The Merrills very hard sole (no shock absorption) has a bump at the ball of the foot. When I first bought these I hadn't noticed, but now that I am on a hiking tour of the SouthWest it screams at me during long hikes. $300 for equipment prep and these fail. [...]

Not as durable as they look

Comments about Merrell Wilderness Hiking Boots - Men's:

I owned a couple pair of these a few years ago after a treasured pair of Merrell Leathers finally died. The outsole on the first pair separated from the midsole, so I exchanged them for another pair. That pair lasted a coouple years, but eventually, the three-bar knit lining wore through and then rolled at the edged of the hole. If you are looking for a long-wearing old-school boot, keep looking.

Ripping Off?

Heavy duty backpacking

Comments about Merrell Wilderness Hiking Boots - Men's:

Not so sure about "ripping off", davep. I bought a pair of these in the late '70s-early 80s and still wear them. The second set of soles have about 600 miles on them and have several hundred more to go. Don't think the Mountain Lights have been around quite as long.

Bet we'd both agree that you can't beat a Norwegian welt for a good boot.
