Feel Good; Leak Badly
May 07, 2010
Reviewer: Marcus from Colorado
Shoe Size: Felt full size larger than marked
Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked
After I added green surefoot insoles, I liked the feel of these boots tremendously. Unfortunately, despite the nearly single piece upper (which would typically indicate that the manufacturer was interested in keeping water out) the boots leak like a sieve at the welt. Walking through a heavy dew results in sodden feet - that is not hyperbole. I did not expect complete waterproofness but this is ridiculous.

This boot is the kind that seems to be going out of style even though its the best you can find. And Merrel is still having theirs made in Italy and they still use the same high quality leather and other materials. I love the fit, sliding my foot into the boot feels like a hand in glove, no lacing hassles or anything.

Great Boot

I've been faithful to wearing Merrell shoes and "Tennis boots" for years. The only problem I've had with them is the fact that I can go through a Vibram sole pretty quickly. Now this is no discredit to Merrell or Vibram. I just wish Vibram could build a sole that would last as long as a Merrell shoe. So, I began my quest for a quality resoleable boot, and I found it! These Wilderness boots have tons of support with a slightly narrow heel and roomy toebox. I haven't broken in a pair of stiff boots like these since my Bootcamp days nearly 15 years ago at MCRD San Diego. It took me a good 48 hours of wear time to get these boots broken in. At first they felt a half size too big, but once they began to break in and I got a little "roll" in the sole, the fit started becoming way more familiar and true to my size. These are quality boots.
Wears this shoe: Everyday wear, Work, and extremely long hikes.

Nothing Like a Good, Italian-made Shoe

As the owner of 8 pairs of boots/shoes from shoebuy.com, I appreciate the company's excellent policy of allowing customers to "test drive" products. Looking for a good-fitting black boot for this coming winter, I tried two products which did not fit well. My return of these resulted in prompt refunds to my credit card. But, the Merrell fit well and fit the bill. What can I say? It is an outstanding Italian-made, reliable boot. I love my new boots, and I recommend this product highly.
Wears this shoe: Almost daily - with jeans. I'm in a rural area.
