Best Hiking Shoes Ever
After considering the other popular Merrell hiking boots, I decided to buy these because they are highly rated for durability on moderate to intense hiking trails and have a clean modern design that I like. They're a lot lighter than expected, which is a big plus for me because I do not like to wear boots that weigh down during my hikes that are already tiring to traverse. I got these when they were on a limited time discount, so it's definitely worth the wait to same some extra money. It fits perfectly—I'm a 8.5 and these are true to size. They are comfortable to wear and they do not make your feet too hot or sweaty, so these shoes have good breathability. There is some GORE-Tex tech around the bottom-mid section of the shoes, so you don't have to worry about water seeping in. It has good arch support and the sole and lugs are thick enough to withstand most rocky terrains, making my hikes as comfortable and smooth as possible. One notice: Make sure to have the tongue sit properly against your foot, or it could dig in and make your hikes uncomfortable. After adjusting the tongue to sit flat against the top of my foot, I've had no other issues or pain since. This was just an adjustment on my end, not the product itself. Overall, I highly recommend these and they are absolutely worth the money.

Perfect for looking good while hiking
These are sooo comfy. I wanted a hiking boot that was light weight, didn't look so rugged, and would be very functional for my vacation that included plenty of long hikes over rough terrain. This was it! It is very light weight with a cushy sole and waterproof too. I dont know why women's hiking boots/shoes are either mousey ugly colors or ostentatious bright colors, but the dark color of this boot perfectly matches my outfits. Merrell for the win.

Color was slightly off.
I love these boots. They're supportive without being too stiff. The sizing is correct. Great traction. However, the black is really a dark purplish-blue on the mesh portion. I didn't notice it until I was outdoors. Yet, I do love the color!

Comfortable and good waterproofing
I took these all over Iceland and they held up beautifully. They broke in fairly quickly. Wore this for a 4 day intensive hike and I swapped my shoes last minute so did not have time to properly break them in. Overall, pretty comfortable and waterproofing held up. Day 4 of the hike I did develop blisters. I have wide feet and while this has fairly wide toe box, I did end up with some blisters on my pinky toes. I suspect if I had more time to break them in, this might not have happened. Overall happy and they breathed pretty good for waterproof boots!

Comfortable, right out of the box!! No additional support necessary.
These shoes are the best hiking boots I have ever had. They are my fourth pair in 10+ years.The previous three pairs were waterproof and lacked arch support. I walk at least 1.33 miles during my lunch hour and these made my feet and back hurt on the lunch break treks. They were better with an arch support insert. One was a well-known cold weather gear brand; the other two were an unknown brand.
