Finally
January 10, 2012
Reviewer: Nate from Qatar
Shoe Size: Felt true to size
Shoe Width: Felt true to width
Searched for the wilderness for ages. Because I couldnt try on a shoe, I got the wrong size to start with (my fault). Returned the first pair and ordered again.Got the perfect fit, 2nd time around.Still wearing them in. A lot stiffer than I imagined and much more sturdy than all other shoes I own so I am taking my time wearing them in.Super happy with my purchase.I can even wear these to work with business trousers without anyone blinking an eyelid.

Classic hiking boots that still works

Reviewer: Donald G. from Ellensburg, WA
Shoe Size: Felt true to size
Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked
I have always wanted a pair of these classic hiking boots since it first came out decades ago. The new Merrell Wilderness appears to be the same well made I remember years ago and will take a lot of breaking in compared to others. I bought these because I will be able to resole them, it still looks good with jeans and casual pants after many years, copied but not equaled in quality. I am happy with my purchase and will purchase a second pair.

This boot has been around for over 20 years for a very good reason. Worth every penny. FYI... a full cow-hide can only make two (2) full-grain "one-piece" boots. As opposed to the normal 7-8 pairs that can be made from the same hide using standard construction methods. These boots look good on the trail, on a Harley, or even with a pair of slacks just stomping around the urban jungle in the rain ... pretty much my "go to" shoes when ever I need to protect my feet, or if I am on my feet for long periods of time. The quality Italian craftsmanship and the one piece welt construction is awesome. Super comfortable once you break them in. (It took me a couple of weeks of daily wear before I took them off-road.) No blisters, no pain, and with rock solid protection. I changed the laces to a pair of Peak 72" black boot laces just for the more conservative look with my slacks. (kept the factory blue ones as spares in my pack) And used a little SnoSeal on the seams to insure total waterproofing all the way around ... just in case. The main reason I bought the Merrell Wilderness, besides the iconic Merrell name, is the fact that it is the only boot in the Merrell inventory that a good cobbler or shoe repair shop can replace the Vibram Rocca soles. If you maintain these boots and treat them well, they should last you a lifetime. Literally. Compare that to buying a new pair of boots that wear out every year (at about $125 ea) and you know you bought something of value. Go for it!

best boots ever

Had a pair years ago that disappeared--was glad to find them again, still in production. Old school looks and quality. Classic style. durable, comfortable. (not light). A bargain considering how well they are made. Why aren't all shoes this good?

Merrell Wilderness- The ultimate for your feet.

Reviewer: Dave from Northeastern Pennsylvania

I found the Wilderness after 2 1/2 years of casually searching for a high quality European hiking boot. I will only wear these boots for hunting, hiking, backpacking and outdoor treks. I bought them to replace my 17 year old Vasque Super Hiker II's. From looking at the quality of the Merrill's, I believe they come out of the same Italian factory as Vasque used to. The fit feels the same, and it feels like it's based on American (English) shoe sizing. They fit true to what I measure on a Brannock Device. NOT MADE IN CHINA! The Norwegeion Welt is a plus, it will hold a resoling better than a heat welded sole. It has no gore tex, which is just another layer to sweat through, and gore tex is only warranted for 2 years. (Boots are just well broken in at that point!) With a quality silicone paste waterproofing like Vasque Nature Seal or Biwell Silicone, these boots should be waterproof indefinitely, as long as they are maintained. The only thing I would add to the boot is a lace lock on the third lace holder down from the top, but I may have them removed form my Vasque's and have a shoemaker install on the Merrill. I had a pair of Limmer Boots from Maine which were imported from Germany. They were based on metric sizing and did not fit properly. The gussets on the tounge of the Limmer Boot is not as thick or as well stitched as on the Merrill and the Merrill has thicker leather, and they cost $100.00 less! These are highest quality boots for the discriminating buyer.
