QUALITY HIKING BOOT
By peperharow
Based on other reviews, I ordered a half size up and I am glad that I did. I normally wear an 8B and I ordered the 8.5. The fit is pretty good, but I think that I could have gone with the size 9 if I want to wear thicker socks. I love the purple accent color which adds a little femininity to the boot. These are rated waterproof which is why I bought them. I have not tested them yet. I am very positively impressed with the Merrell Ortholite insole which is anti-microbial and the supportive arch built into the boot. I like the more rounded edges on the sole of this shoe, more like an athletic shoe than a work boot. Boot seems to move well with my foot when walking and provides lots of comfort compared to other brands. Nice padding around the ankle for comfortable support. Boot has metal closed rivited loops for the laces which will be very durable. The sole has a nice grippy nubby tread which will work well in wet weather. This boot is one of the better styles (and
quality) that Merrell has to offer. I recommend sticking with Merrell's higher end (priced) styles as there is definitely a difference in the feel between the Merrell styles. I really like the feel of these boots; can't wait to give them a test run on the trail.

Run Small - Try them on first
By Anonymous genius
These boots are absolutely gorgeous! Unfortunately, they run small. I returned mine at a cost of $26 shipping (both ways) and ordered a half size larger. But they didn't feel any larger. So, not wanting to spend another $26 on shipping, I spent half that amount and just returned them the second time. I have other Merrell boots that are true to size. I will probably buy these at an outdoor store where I can try them on in person eventually. But I'm smarting from spending nearly $40 and still have no boots that fit.

WOW!
By Fussy Buyer
These boots are amazing! The comfort, insulation and traction are beyond any other boots I've tried and make trail hiking effortless. The boots are so light and attractive too. My husband was envious as he trudged with his heavy, stiff leather boots and has vowed to order the men's version of these!
