Merrell Chameleon Evo GTX XCR Hiking Shoe - Men's

Item #MER0079 | 1 in Stock
5 Star Rating

good shoes for backpacking

By Ranked #50 - Men's Hiking Shoes September 30, 2008

just taken on two backpacking trips, one in the White Mountains of NH, and another in Glacier National Park, MT. They were fabulous. No blisters despite the shoes being new for the White Mtn. trip. Great support for going up and down steep slopes with a heavy pack. Note: I got incredibly lucky with weather - hardly rained at all in either place. I don't know how well they work wet, but imagine they are good. In dry conditions they are superb.
The shoes does feel a little narrow on my wide-ish foot, but it never caused me trouble.
