MerrellWomen's J034250 Hiking Boot

These are the only brand of hiking boots that I don't need a break in period for. I hike an average of 5-8 miles a day in rough terrain for work and I can put on a brand-new pair of these boots and never have any pain. They are also fully waterproof and do well on slick surfaces. I have used this brand of boots for multiple years working as a wildlife technician. This means multiple years of hiking miles on end everyday, many 14-20 hour days, hiking through creeks, over snow, up to 13,000ft in elevation, occasional running, and I will not use another brand. I recently did throw this pair away after stretching these out for two seasons. They lasted a very long time and for many miles. I eventually threw them away because 1) they were old and I needed a new pair and 2) unfortunately they're not fire proof and I was doing an overnight capture and got a little too close to the fire with my boots and they burned.

These are not the cutest, but what hiking shoes are?! They are so comfortable! Definitely recommend! I wear a 9.5 in tennis shoes and 10 in boots. I ordered the 10 and they fit perfect!

I needed something with arch support and these have pretty good support, they are wide enough and comfortable. I walked about 3 miles the first time I wore them without any problems.

👍

I have been wearing mine around the house to break them in and so far they are very comfortable. The arch support is very good and I don’t have to put my custom orthotics in them. This is key for me! Hope to wear on my first hike this weekend. The only concern I have is that I am not sure how long they will hold up as the quality seems lacking.

I haven't had a chance to wear these much, that is why the late review. Very comfortable & perfect fit. I have high arches & no issues with these boots. Finally was able to try them out in the snow & slush, they were amazing! Was walking the dog with my daughter in Maryland last weekend, stepped into a slushy puddle well over the sole of the boot & my feet stayed dry! I was very happy with their performance. Would definitely recommend!

I have only wore these boots inside for maybe 30 minutes. Just noticed they are coming apart in 2 areas. Showed both spots in pictures. Along with pictures of the boot bottoms and tops to show they have not even been worn except for maybe 30 minutes if that inside. So guess they were shipped to me like this ! Hope to hear back from seller and they make it right.

Comfortable right out of the box, I have high arches & a fairly wide foot (bought med width in my normal size just hoping they might fit). Really like that they have sturdy metal lacing grommets instead of fabric loops. Haven't taken them out for a hike yet, will update review if any problems.

Glad I ordered half a size bigger than usual. Fits perfectly.

Very comfortable!

The shoes are relatively comfortable. Not a whole lot of comfort to the bottom sole of the shoe, it is true to size. The colour is not nearly as light as the product photos suggest which kind of sucks it's much darker in person I almost though I ordered the wrong shoe. If you're want to wear thicker socks , I would choose a half size up from your regular. I wear a 6 1/2 usually and went with a 7 just so I can wear warmer socks. The tred is good and seems like it can endure difficult terrain. Haven't worn them out yet so not %100 if they're truly supportive , but it does cover the ankle which is a must for hiking 👍🏽

First day I was wearing these shoes I did a hike with a friend and then went shopping for the rest of the day. My feet were incredibly comfortable all day!The shoes also repelled moisture. Great hiking show!!

Bonne tenue pour la cheville. Très confortable pour la marche en terrain accidenté
