As an avid hiker and trailblazer, I always find myself high atop rocky ridges and unforgiving terrain. Unforgiving in a sense that wearing the wrong pair of shoes could mean the end for the said pair and put my life in danger as well. That’s why I made it a point to wear nothing but the best gear when I’m out hiking. With that said, I only wear a pair of Merrell hiking boots because I know these guys can handle ANYTHING!

So what’s the review going to be based on? Well, I’m going to base it on the FIT, PERFORMANCE, and COMFORT, all graded on a scale from 1 to 10.

The fit -7/10

So much like other hiking boots from Merrell, the fit is really subjective. You could be a size 8, but you could end up with

Here are some clips that you’ll see from this awesome product review :

The outsole is Vibram–an Italian company known for inventing rubber soles–and is very sturdy providing great traction between the ground and the boots. It’s always good to look for these makers’ mark so you’d know you get the top quality material.

The waterproof GoreTex membrane makes the boots waterproof but apparently, it doesn’t do much good during winter. Snow gets in through the top of the boots and melts making your feet wet. Nonetheless, the Moab GTX is an excellent choice for all other seasons.

Merrell is a very popular foot gear manufacturer, and the quality of their work lives up to their fame. Although, like all other products their shoes aren’t perfect. It’s got pros and cons, but the choice is definitely up to you.
