I’ve been doing overnight hiking & camping trips in some of the most difficult areas at Red River Gorge in Daniel Boone National Forest for the past eight years. Never have I had a better experience than this past one when I bought these shoes. We received over an inch and a half of rain, but it was no issue for these shoes. I accidentally submerged them a few times while performing run-off creek crossings, and my feet remained dry. The traction in loose conditions was good, as was the breathability. I did weeks of research on multiple brands before pulling the trigger on buying these, and I am pleased with my decision. I highly recommend them to anyone else, too!

They do not hold well to actual hiking.
1 week ago
They fall apart if you actually hike. Their water resistance doesn’t last long and requires constant spraying to keep them that way. The outer soul is a thin layer glued to the mid soul that separates easily, as well as the toe portion. So if you plan on going miles of hiking, hard paths, rocky areas, hiking in the rain… these are not the ones.

Comfy, Perform Well, but suspect durability
2 months ago
These shoes are comfortable, have decent traction, live up to the waterproof promise, and hike pretty well. But their durability is questionable. I've put a couple hundred miles of trail hiking on them and the soles are starting to delaminate. I'm hoping that it was just a bad batch and if I replace them, the next pair will be better. But this pair is going back to REI. The only other slight ding is that they could use a better heel hold system. If I tie them tight enough to hold my heel back on downhills, they pinch a bit at the tie point. Not a deal breaker by any stretch, and I haven't had any real issues, but just a critique. FWIW, I added a pair of cork SOLE insoles and it made them much more stable and comfortable for longer hikes. Definitely a worthwhile addition to these shoes (or any performance shoe, for that matter). I have a wide size 10 foot and the 10W fit better than any other light hiker, trail running shoe I've tried.

Would like to love this Hiking Shoe
3 months ago
I bought the Hiking Boot for a trip to Peru and a 7 day hike of around 4-8 miles of moderate hiking a day. I bought them 2 weeks before the trip and wore them around the house and general day walking of less than 3 hrs a day. The shoes felt fantastic on and broke in really easy. The problem came on the trip. 4 days into the hike I noticed the toe flap starting to separate and a gap forming between the 2 molds on the arch side of the shoe. After the complete trip, I noticed the Arch of both shoes have collapsed. I am 6'0 and about 230lbs, and flat footed so I am hard on arches either way. The problem is, this is a 2-3 week old shoe with little mileage compared to my other hikers. I have attached pictures. Again, the shoes were comfortable, broke in nicely and the waterproofing worked fine. They are light and I found them breathable but the construction was a severe disappointment at this price range. I am hoping Merrell will help with this problem

These boots were great until they failed.
4 months ago
First let me say I loved these boots. Lightweight and waterproof they were perfect for my morning walk - mostly concrete sidewalks and metaled / gravel graded trails with occasional uneven ground. Lacing was good - I didn't experience failures of the lacing points like I have with other boots. They arrived almost exactly a year before this review and I used them perhaps three hours per week - so around 150 hours wear, possibly 500 miles walked. Recently the uppers started to separate from the soles adjacent to the MTP joint. Both boots are failing. Before failing I would rate them five stars. After failure, three stars. Great if you only need them for a short time, they are not made to last. With the level of wear on the soles, this may be OK - it's close to time to replace them.

Painful 😣 to wear
3 months ago
I bought these because of how well the shoe version was doing but I have found that the design of these boots is causing me great discomfort where the lace point and fold of the tongue meet. I have used the the Moab 2 tacticals for years with no issues so I didn’t even think twice about buying these. For me I am greatly disappointed and now have a pair of boots that I spent $$$! That I will never wear.

Poorly made

I've had these for a year. Bought them for warm weather shooting matches. While super comfortable, they're not built very durable. Soles are delaminating, and stitching is coming apart on both shoes. My 1st hike 9 miles with them, I had stitching coming apart. Definitely not a daily wear shoe. For the money, there's better options out there.

Not up to Merrell standards

Great fit, especially in the wide width for my EE feet. Light and comfortable for hiking. I proved their waterproof-ness as well. I really wanted to love these shoes - and I did. Until I didn't. These just didn't live up to expectations. Hopefully it was just this pair, maybe a certain production run. The soles started to delaminate after a couple months and a few hundred miles of hiking. I think I'm going to exchange them for a pair of slightly more robust Merrells. The fit is so perfect. I added some Sole cork footbeds to them. The added support really made a difference.
