Merrell Wrapt Waterproof Hiking Boot - Men's

Ordered online because they were on sale and they didn’t fit properly. Too tight. Returned but I bought a pair of the same size and model in gray at a brick and mortar store for full price and they are doing fine. Needed a little bit of breaking in and adjusting but no problems and I’m glad to have them.

Highly recommend if you’re looking with something with the best traction on uneven ground, both dry and wet. I’ve only had one bad fall once I started wearing these and that’s because I tried to walk across a muddy rock face going downhill; completely my fault. My only complaint/recommendation is to wear cushioned socks while using them. The sole is very hard rubber that doesn’t provide any cushion and the insole is pretty thin, though this is to be expected from this type of hybrid hiking boot. Waterproofing is great, basically causing any liquids to bead up and fall off. Somehow they don’t get that dirty either. I’ve done 2 hikes so far in them and the upper still looks brand new. Can’t recommend enough and hope Merrell keeps making them so I can get another pair once I kill these.

I got these to ruin in mud and they so far have refused to let me down. Great traction. Waterproof and clean easily. Look good before the hike too. I might get a 2nd pair for less muddy occasions.

These are fantastic shoes. A great mix between barefoot shoe and hiking shoe. Super comfortable and grippy. Highly recommend.

Great shoe! They're super comfortable and light-weight. The water proofing is spectacular and yet the shoe is very breathable. Some people say they didn't need to break the shoes in for hiking, but I did. I still got some blisters after taking these on a 6 day trek in Yosemite. My one major complaint about the shoe is that the glue on the toe begins to wear down easily and quickly. The sole of my shoe is starting to detach from the leather after about 60 miles of wear.

Just got back from almost the top of Ben Nevis in Scotland. Boots did great. Light, grippy, dry in a howling whiteout. Next up, Shetland islands.

I love the fit, feel and look of these boots! So much so, I now have 3 different pairs! The only downside is that the grippy soles ARE NOT suitable for walking a 10 month old lab on pavement! It seems by having to constantly "put on the brakes", I put about two years of wear on the heels... that said, if the grey option pops up on sale again, I'll replace those!

Wore these for a month straight, including a week outdoors in wet, muddy conditions. Held up strong and very comfortable. They seem very durable, will be picking up another pair in another color soon.
