Phaser Peak is the most comfortable Hiking boot I have ever worn. I can hike all day in all conditions with no discomfort. They arrived the correct size. Other comments, Easy on and off but do double lace. I would recomend these to friends.

These are great for hiking with a heavier pack. We are thrilled you love them and even recommend them to friends! Thank you so much for this review on the Phaser Peaks.

Hiking with a heavy pack
I thought I would try this shoe for a change as I was wearing out top name work boots in 6 months or less at work. I instantly fell in love with the comfort and durability of these. I now own two pair and am going to get pair #3 soon- so I can keep one for camping. The first pair is still as comfortable as the second- just aren't quite pretty enough for work anymore. :) The soles on these shoes are second to none! I recommend them to anyone working on concrete, or any hard surface. If they start feeling a little uncomfortable, put in a new pair of insoles and they are just like new again. I hope you make these forever!
That is awesome you love them so much you are going to purchase a third pair! Stay active and comfortable while supporting your Merrell Phaser Peaks. Thank you so much for this review and recommending these to everyone.

At work, at home, camping, hiking... I live in these shoes!
I purchased these boots for my first round trip, rim-to-rim excursion in the Grand Canyon. While I've yet to make the trek (our trip begins next week), I bought these well ahead of time in order to begin using them and getting them broken in for what's sure to be a challenging week of hiking. The boots, to my pleasant surprise, needed very little "breaking in". They were 100% comfortable when I put them on, and hiking in them has been wonderful. I leaned towards these boots after chatting with a Merrell rep, who suggested because of my size (6'5", 300lbs.) and the weight of my pack (over 20 lbs.) that I consider these for their superior support and cushioning. 100% right suggestion, as they have held me up well and I've had very little, if any pain in my feet related to my training, which have exceeded 10 mile hikes. These boots come shipped read-to-wear. No need to waterproof, no need to break in. Just put them on and enjoy the great outdoors. I will most definitely buy another pair of these boots once I wear these out, which, due to their high quality, is likely to be YEARS from now.
We are so happy to hear how impressed you are with these wonderful boots. We truly hope your new Merrell’s help you to enjoy this awesome opportunity to visit one of nature’s most enjoyable places!

trail/stream/mountain hiking
I got these for my husband last fall. It took a lot to get him to wear them, but once he did, he fell in love with them and wears them every day. No more sore feet or achey back.
It is great to know you are looking out for him. What would he do with out you? Thank you for sharing this review. We are so happy he has a great pair of boots that he never wants to take off because he finds them to be very comfortable.

All day every day
These boots are just unbelievable. I got them as a highschool graduation present 6 years ago, and only now, after well over a thousand miles of intense abuse, am I just beginning to look for a replacement. It's strange how you can come to view a pair of boots as friends, but that's exactly what mine have become. My next boots probably won't be Phasers (they are *unbelievably* heavy and I'm trying to stay lighter these days), but they'll always be Merrell's. Thanks for making such great shoes Merrell! Mike
What a great graduation gift! We are so happy to hear these have accompanied you on numerous occasions over the last six years and you have built a strong relationship with them! Take a look at the Moab Mid Ventilator for a lightweight, breathable hiking shoe. Thank you for your great review.
