As far as I can tell Merrell Perimeter is a fairly decent boot, but my only concern is whether it will be able to maintain its structure after a many outings with heavy loads. Soo can anyone testify if this boot does this or have any suggestions for a boot that could fulfill this category?

Scott, I got only 2 hiking seasons with my pair. I go 6' 190 lbs. I thought they are fine on trail hiking boots, but they are not beefy enough for backpacking. Very little ankle support - too low cut and not stiff enough. The bottoms got completely destroyed - worn down and the cleats simply broke off in many locations. They are very comfortable and kept my feet dry. All that said, I am buying a second pair, but just for on trail day hiking. If you are purchasing a dedicated backpacking boot - keep looking. DD
