I have long been a fan of Merrell boots since 1993 when I bought a pair in Sister's Oregon on a Monday and climbed South Sister on the following Tuesday. I had no blisters and no issues. I had the same experience with two more pairs until the last pair I bought three years ago for a Grand Canyon trip. About 400 miles on them and they are still not right. Eight days ago I had foot surgery and have been barely able to walk.

A Grand Canyon hike is coming up in October and I bought my son a pair of ASOLO's for the hike. He and I wear the same size and after only six days since surgery I tried his boots on and I could walk with out pain! I have eight quarter inch laser cut holes in my foot and these 535's are so comfortable I cannot feel any pain! I went out and bought a pair for myself and I will report back after I log fifty miles.

The reviews I have read said these boots get better after break in, I cannot imagine how that is possible?
