I know these shoes are meant to be for the more rugged activities we all do, but I enjoy the comfort of these mostly for just walking. They feel incredible and the support to your feet is hard to top. I can stand in these all day and still feel great. I really wish I would have heard of Merrell along time ago.

I wore these shoes through 30+ miles of intense hiking in the Grand Canyon last week. The terrain was rough, rocky, sandy, back to rocky again, wet, dry, and everything in between. These shoes kept my feet dry, and comfortable! In addition, a didn't have a single blister after all that hiking! My wife unfortunately didn't fair as well...she was wearing a different brand, and her feet were sore and covered with blisters by the end of the hike. I'll be looking to get her a pair of Merrells so she can can better enjoy the outdoors. Great shoes you guys! I'm thoroughly impressed with them!

Honestly, I can't believe that this shoe has taken the abuse that it has in the three years I've owned them. While they are starting to finally show wear and tear, I still use them for hiking, biking and everything in between. These shoes will definitely be on my shopping list when the current pair finally falls apart.
