Backpacking??

Ranked #26 - 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.
