Merrell Traverse Backpacking Boot - Men's
Will Post Again to Update
By Ohio Trekker
Ranked #1028 - Men's Backpacking Boots
April 11, 2008
This is a preliminary review, as I have not run these boots through the gauntlet yet. Have only broken them in in day to day life and done a few short trail hikes in them.
Pros: Excellent waterproofing, very comfortable and warm. Very supportive. Amazing traction on everything: steep grades, loose gravel, ice, nothing stops em.
Cons: Heavy, very stiff (took 8 days to break them in). Not good for warm weather. Haven't had a day off yet that was in the 40's or 50's yet, have only tested extremes. 20's and 30's great, 70's was a sweaty mistake.
