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.

What a relief that I have finally purchased a new pair of boots. I had my last pair about ten years with numerous vibram soles. Hopefully these will out last me.

Great Boot, Good looking, well crafted

Shoe Size: Felt half size larger than marked
Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked
I wear size 11 in most every brand and the Wilderness 11s are about a half size too big, but still functional with heel hold.These are great looking, well made, quality boots for all around purposes from long, heavy-load hikes to kicking around.

Day one of the shoe was stiff (like a ski boot) but since then nothing but bliss. I wear them all the time. Merrell builds a comfortable shoe (all their shoes). The one piece of leather reduces the amount of stitching and thus reduces the areas to fail. I've worn them for 18hrs straight, day after day and could not be happier.

Beautifully crafted old-school boots

These boots need a bit of breaking in, but are doing so without too much foot pain. I can tell that once the leather has softened, they will be extremely comfortable. They are well made and supportive (if a bit on the heavy side) and should last for many years to come.

Full-grain, one-piece waterproof leather upper with stitched on classically patterned vibram rubber out sole. This boot is gorgeous. Bought this boot primarily to use as a winter, hike around the town boot.
Wears this shoe: When the weather outside is frightful or for taking a hike in the mountains.

Long lasting

I bought my first pair in 1998. I replaced the soles twice and the were in need of the third sole replacement. I figured they had seen some heavy milage and it was time to retire my trusty hiking/work boots as the inside was starting to get a little tattered. I bought a new pair a couple of weeks ago and I think the'll make it until 2016 easily with very little maintenance.

If it is durability you want, don't take a step further

I like Merrell's Wilderness boot. It reminds me of the original hikers and not all this soft mesh stuff nowadays. Nothing wrong with those types, but with the Wilderness model you can use it as a workboot or hiking boot. You can wear it with pants or shorts and they look good with both. Even if you had to dress up and had no dress up shoes, you might be able to get away with wearing them with dinner etc... too. I do miss the original tongue inlay of leather as opposed to the cloth material. It makes them look cheap considering all the material is either leather with the exception of the footpad for resting your foot inside. I would love to see the full-leather tongue come back in full swing. I bought it for the reasons above. I wanted a workboot I could wear with shorts and pants and that were durable to keep me with a lifetime of fit. I have since calmed down some and look forward to having them for many many years to come.
Wears this shoe: I wear this shoe mainly to work and on casual weekends.

Oh man, these things are like a motocrossboot for the first 25 hours, accompanied with sores and blisters of every shape and size, but now, they are like butter. Soft and supple, they cradle my blocky and angular feet like a featherbed of italian leather. They rule.

Tough as nails
November 14, 2006Reviewer: Dave from Omaha Ne
Shoe Size: Felt true to size

These boots were awesome. I scoped out several top brands (high dollar) and decided on the Merrell Wilderness. These boots are a little stiff at first but will break in slowly with a week or two of wearing them around the house. Now, they are like the toughest pair of gloves I have ever owned. I'm sure they will be around for several years like my old Vasque that I purchased 12 years ago.
Wears this shoe: Every time I leave the house

Forever Merrell Wilderness
February 15, 2006Reviewer: Jon D. from CT
Shoe Size: Felt true to size

I've had these boots for years 14! I've resoled them twice during that time period and about 4 years ago I had a cobbler put some stitching in on the inside of the boot as some small tears began in the fabric. I no longer know if they are currently made the way the were made in 1992, but they are great buy if one can get 4,000 plus miles and greater then 10 years out of a boot!
Wears this shoe: hiking, backpacking, some snow removal and work

Merrell Wilderness
January 11, 2006Reviewer: Jimmy from Columbus, Ohio
Shoe Size: Felt true to size
Shoe Width: Felt true to width
I wanted these because I wanted a pair of Merrell boots with good support that didn't look crazy. These have that simple, black leather workboot look that I really like. Although they don't provide as much support as a sportier pair of Merrells, they have considerably more support than a pair of plain old workboots. They are comfy enough to wear almost every day, and I do. I tried on a lot of boots (Timberlands, Doc Martin, Sketchers) before settling on these. After about a month of normal wear, I'm very happy with my purchase.
Wears this shoe: At least every other day.
