Love these hikers - durable, comfy, and look great

By jtcash Ranked #223 - Men's Hiking Shoes March 17, 2010

I've had these for almost a year. These are my main shoes for summer/fall hikes.

The shoes are good to go right out of the box. I used them for a 10 hr hike without any breaking in, and my feet were not complaining at the end of the day. I have even used them for hikes up to 12 hrs long, with my feet feeling only slightly damp (which is normal).

They are made of GTX so no water gets in where it is not supposed to. The vibram soles are also fantastic with grippy rubber and moderately deep lugs.

I loved these shoes so much that I got them in the mid cut for winter pursuits.

I have tried many other Merrell's (ie - all the Moab models, Chameleon 2, and their boots), and these are the most comfortable even with my slightly flat feet - no blisters or aching.

If you are looking to use these shoes for day/weekend hikes, these will be perfect.
