Merrell Perimeter GTX Backpacking Boot - Men's

Item #MER0077 | 1 in Stock
3 Star Rating

Backpacking??

By Ranked #391 - Men's Backpacking Boots October 6, 2008

I believe this is a great trail boot when little to no offtrail is contemplated. I have rolled my ankle twice on what I consider moderate off trail. Just not enough ankle support for me. I have also broken off lugs as others have mentioned. Over all, I love Merrell's products, but this one looks much beefier than it is. A good boot for day hiking. I go 6' and 190, so maybe for smaller folks it will do the job. I ended up with the Traverse for my backpacking. Happy trails.
