These shoes may be the ideal shoes for Bear Grylls, but they're not for me. Let me start off by saying, I mainly bought these shoes to help thru-hike the A.T. in next year. I bought them about 2 months ago and started wearing them right away to break them in. I wear them about 3-4 days a week.
Since I've started wearing them, I've discovered 3 problems that I have with them.
1. They make me feel like I'm wearing cleats. I like to have a more flexible sole in my shoes. These just don't give me that and they make the "clack, clack, clack" sound when walking on hard flat surfaces.
2. They are still very stiff after I've worn them quite a bit! Some of the edges dig into my ankles at times.
3. For some reason (even though I've got the right size), my heel just seems to slide up and down a lot. it kinda rubs the heels a little. I have to tie the laces really, really tight to prevent this.
Like I said, the shoes aren't bad, just not ones I'd prefer to hike in. I've replaced the Merrells with a pair of Salomons that were cheaper than these and way more comfortable.
