From Backcountry.com:
"Lightweight, non-bulky, and totally waterproof. No, it's not a backpack. It's the Merrell Men's Chameleon Wrap Gore-Tex Hiking Shoe, and it keeps your feet dry and agile in mucky, wet mountain weather. These low-top pigskin leather shoes feature Gore-Tex linings that eliminate soak-through during storms and stream-crossings. Breathable mesh panels let fresh air flow to your feet without allowing access to water or trail chunks. Your foot will appreciate the Chameleon Wrap's grippy Vibram rubber sole, super supportive compression-molded EVA footbed, and the stabilizing instep arm that keeps your feet centered and, by proxy, improves your balance. Merrell recommends wearing this shoe with a midweight hiking sock."
From Altrec Outdoors:
"The lowdown on Chameleon bad weather performance, preserving agility and adaptability to pace and terrain in the worst of conditions. Airy defense mesh panels in a pigskin leather upper enhance the breathability of waterproof GORE-TEX XCR construction. Combination of toe bumper and contoured rand protects against impact and increases durability."
From REI:
"With superior grip, lightweight stability and superb weather protection, these cross-trainers take on tough terrain with robust zeal. Waterproofed split-grain leather uppers with breathable Defense mesh panels keep these shoes lightweight, flexible and breathable. Gore-Tex XCR® seam-sealed inner linings offer a new level of breathability while retaining complete waterproof protection. Wicking nylon linings manage excess moisture to ensure a comfortable environment for hard working feet. Injection-molded thermal polyurethane overlays wrap heels, toes and instep for enhanced stability, abrasion-resistance and protection. Removable EVA footbeds, compression-molded EVA midsoles and Air Cushion® heel pockets absorb shock, cushion and stabilize feet. Injection-molded nylon arch shanks and full-length tapered midsole supports deliver torsional rigidity and protection for support on rough terrain. Vibram® Chameleon Sport™ channeled outsoles with TC1 Dura Rubber siped lugs deliver superior durability and traction on wet or dry surfaces."

The hike up went well and the only downside towards the boot was it felt a little heavy."

My favorite part is how well they climb trees. The tread on the inside arch really grabs on and makes climbing easy."

I've only had them out once, on a rather light hike. I decided to see just how waterproof they are, and stood in the river up to the very top of the shoe. Feet stayed completely dry, and no traction was lost on the rocks.
I firmly endorse this product!"
