Merrell Moab Mid Gore-Tex XCR
Comfort and beyond!
March 09, 2013
Reviewer: AF Civ Medic from California
I actually own 2 pair of these and looking at buying a third pair in the darker color. I have worn these in all sorts of environments including dry deserts of the SW, rain, and snow. I have worn them up in the Sierra Nevadas hiking and to walk on the beach in Orange County, Ca. My boots have been with me on excursions in the desert with Air Force EOD teams and have never failed me nor left me with tired sore feet. I love these boots. I have friends that are US Army Rangers who wear these in Afghanistan. They are a all around great boot and it will be a sad day if they are ever stopped being produced.

Lowa Zephyr Desert Mid TF
Finally wore em out

Reviewer: TRRT from Northern hemisphere
I bought these boots a little over two years ago. Luckily I did some research and ordered a half size larger than I normally wear. They were very comfortable right out of the box. These were my first choice for a non-Gortex boot which would not be too warm in hot climates. If you are looking for a boot to keep your feet dry, buy the Gortex model. I only have two minor negative comments about the boot. The laces were terrible. They didn't slide easily through the eyelets and wore out easily. The laces suck, but it's an easy fix. My second complaint is that I think they are about the ugliest boot out there. Having said that, I bought a second pair. The soles finally wore out on the first pair and split across the ball of my foot. These boots were primarily worn in rugged rocky terrain with a lot of thorny vegetation. The sole was sticky enough to prevent slipping on rock faces. I never had a thorn pierce the sole and puncture my foot. Ankle support was adequate during extended humps, CQB, helo ops and standing around on the flat range. I feel as though I got my money's worth, as I really abused them. The only care I gave the boots was from the business end of a water hose. When I first examined them, I expected the sole to separate from the boot but it never did. I've read reviews from others who complain about separation, but mine held up well. Several of my buddies have them and no one has experienced a separation. Everyone loves these boots.

This is about my 5th pair. I have to get the wide size to fit my foot, and I do add an orthopedic after i get them. But I just love these shoes for style, comfort, and performance. They are the best hiking shoe I have found, and I also wear them to work with jeans whenever i get the chance.
