A very serious hiking boot for rugged, rocky trails or no trails at all - and good looking enough for kicking around campus or going to town. This mid-height hiker provides great support and waterproof protection. Molded external heel counter. Great Merrell fit. Waterproof nubuck and Dura leather uppers. Q-Form triple-density footframe in women's models.
Comfortable, rugged, good looking boot
Love thes boots. Comfortable out of the box. Good looking enough for casual wear. If you don't need a dress shoe, these will work very well for a "daily driver" (to use an automotive term).
The Best I've Owned
I bought a pair of these over a year ago and got a lot of use out of them before they finally wore out. When it came time to get a new pair of boots I let someone talk me into buying a different brand. It was a big mistake, as they were more expensive but not nearly as comfortable or functional on long hikes. Soon I was ordering a new pair of Merrell's, and the other brand is buried in my closet.
Great Hiking Boot!!
This is the best hiking boot I have ever purchased! They are very comfortable and require no break in period, & can wear them ALL day long. You just wear them right out of the box.
