I've used a lot of boots in my time. I'm 5'7" 175lbs and have been a scout in the army. I've had ankle surgery on my right ankle and left knee surgery. To use a boot that will give the support and comfort I need is always a must. This boot by Merrell is excellent. There are many questions I ask when looking for a hiking boot.
1. Are they comfortable?
2. Do they have the support I need?
3. Will they start coming apart?
4. Are they breatheable and waterproof?

Yes, yes, yes, and yes! These have been the best boot all around. For comfort, As soon as I put them on I knew it was a fit. I never had to break them in. I carry weight ranging from 30lbs to 65lbs. I've stomped through the Ozarks in Missouri and Arkansas without a blister. I did spary some waterproofer on for added security. Either way, no problems with anything.

My next purchase will be a set of Merrells upgrading to the Gore-tex lined boot. The Vibram soles are a must if wanting comfort with cushion.
