I bought these new before a trip in the Rockies. I didn't utilize a proper break-in period and instead hiked in them all day on day one. They are very comfortable and lightweight while still providing good protection while hiking and scrambling scree.

I bought these to replace my old hiking shoes. The height gives me good ankle support without rubbing in an uncomfortable way. There is a comfortable footbed and my first hike in them ended up being 8 miles with no blisters. The size works great for me (I buy a half size up in hiking boots). I even stepped in mud while camping and no leaking. I got the black with blue laces and the blue POPs. I did think that they were a charcoal grey from the picture online, but the black looks great.

I bought a pair of these for my son 1 1/2 years ago and I noticed they are finally ready to be replaced (after heavy usage). I received an email for a sale on various shoes/boots and told him to pick a new pair. He didn’t even hesitate to say he wanted the Ontario again, it was the best pair of shoes he’s ever worn. I have been a Merrell customer for twenty years and it looks like you now have another lifer.

I have a job that had me walking a lot on blacktop in all kinds of weather and these boots work great for me.

I have had this boot for close to a year. I wear them frequently while fishing and engaging in other outdoor activities. They are absolutely comfortable on the trail and have excellent tread. I recommend these boots to anyone who is looking for something to wear for any activity.

Worn daily for All of the Above for over a year. Zero Complaints. Fantastic Boot from a Great Company. 100% Recommend

Your boots are lightweight, comfortable, provide great protection & have excellent traction. I am very pleased & highly recommend your footwear...

I buy a pair of these twice a year. I spend about 50% of my days I'm these shoes and they are by far the best I've ever owned. Thank U Merrell. Also ur customer service is great!

Very warm, lightweight boots.True to sizing. Very grippy tred keep me going on hard packed snow and ice.

I bought these boots for the specific reason of walking long distance on concrete. It may seem weird, but I need some footwear with support, waterproof, and not too stiff. The running style sole and the light weight of the boots are just perfect. I put about 20mi on the boots the second day i had them. I thought I might have to use my backup pair of shoes, but there was no reason to change. The boots worked beyond expectations. My feet stayed comfortable, warm, and dry. These are a great pair of boots.
