These boots were my first Merrell purchase, and I found them far better than any previous boots I've owned. I have been impressed since my first trek up a slippery English mountain in pervasive rain. The grip impressed, as did the instant comfort. My feet stayed warm and dry on a day that my coveted camera stopped working from the wet. Since then, I have used these boots for Tasmanian treks, socially, and for when work takes me into the elements. Three years old, and they're showing little wear. These boots made me a Merrell fan, and I now seek out Merrell shoes for comfort, grip and durability.

im a soldier in the Australian Military. I am coming upon completion of an 8 month tour of Afghanistan and i thought I had to commend you on the quality of these Merrell boots. Since Feb I have been patrolling through the desert, green zone and mountains of this country carrying heavy loads in constant wet/ dry conditions. These boots have been outstanding. Easilly the best piece of equipment i have purchased and definitelly made life alot easier! The grip and toughness of the boots were excellent but most importantly the comfort. I did not recieve one blister my entire tour and would have to say these boots are even more comfortable than my asics runners.
