Ranked #333 - Men's Backpacking Boots
April 21, 2011
I have gone through quite a few boots in my day. I not only use my hiking boots for hiking and backpacking, I also use them for hunting elk, antelope and upland birds. My boots get worn a lot and in all conditions.
Having had some pretty good boots over the years, including Dunham, Danner, Vasque, and Asolo my standards are fairly high.
Since I have a had a lot of Merrell shoes, over the years, and still do, I am familiar with their "out of the box "comfort. I have had a very positive exeperience with Merrell products for many years.
Needing a pair of boots I thougfht I'd give these Merrell GTX's a try.
Indeed, as usual for Merrell, I also found these to be very comfortable from day one.
So far, no complaints.
They have worked well for me, from hunting in snow last fall to landscape work around the yard this spring.
So far these boots have been a pleasure to wear. They stay dry and are very comfortable....And I get a lot of compliments on their looks.
Merrell did well on these...for the money.
