This is a very comfortable hybrid, that is a big plus, so if you enjoy trails with little obstacles I believe it will hold up well and your feet will be happy… BUT, if you like more challenging terrain, moderate to difficult hikes, it’s not gonna last. I’ve had these for not even two months and there is considerable wear and tear on the bottoms and sides. These are not rugged and resilient. For the price I kinda expected more . But it’s ok overall
I was looking for a set of very non-slip hiking boots mainly to take to Europe where there is slippery limestone or marble cobblestones. These certainly meet to that requirement and they're great for just general hiking as well, but they appear to wear very quickly. As you can see from the photo. This picture was taken after 2 hikes of about 5 or 6 mi each and a couple short or two and a half mile hikes.
I found the Mid Gore-Tex hiking boots to be comfortable yet provided ample support for my arch and ankles. The toe box was roomier than I expected and overall, the boot felt like a natural extension of my foot (When compared to a pair of Keen's that i recently transitioned from). The cushioned sole is approximately 1-2 inches in height and suppresses any impact from jumping or stepping on hard surfaces for a prolonged period. The Vibram soles gave ample traction on varying surfaces in wet conditions. The exterior of the boot has held up well to scuff marks and continues to provide a strong underpinning for my flat feet. The Gore-Tex outer is great at protecting my feet from the elements however I found the shoe to be hot and not breath as well as other boots in its class. Overall, I am pleased with these boots and would purchase them again.
This is my second week wearing them. I actually bought them for my job, In security.. they are extremely comfortable right out the box.. the more I wear them the comfortable they get., very lightweight. Awesome support. I’ve purchase several pair of Merrell Shoes/ hiking boots.. I have been totally pleased with them all.
These fit like a glove! Since day one I’ve enjoyed the snug fit as well as the traction they provide. Went through my first rain with them and thank you goretex!!

The boots are comfortable with excellent support at a light weight. I’m very happy with this purchase.
