Merrell Mesa Ventilator
No break-in time!! The best shoe I have ever worn.
Rating: ![]()
Use: Everything!
Break-in Period: NONE!!
Price Paid: $60
No break-in time!! The best shoe I have ever worn. I wear them for work and casual. The cushion my knees beautifully. I have had other shoes where the uppers began to separate from the soles in the first week. I have a pair of Mesa Ventilators that I have practically worn the soles off and they won't separate from the uppers.
Unfortunately, I think Merrell has replaced these with the Moab Ventilator, so I was expected the same fit/comfort, so far, NOT SO. The top of the heel has been irritating my achilles tendon within 20 minutes of wear. I found a new pair of Mesas on Ebay, wore them all day with no discomfort and they were even technically half a size too big for me.
This is a great shoe. I just completed the Oxfam Trailwalker…

Use: long day hikes ( 20 -60 miles)
Break-in Period: none needed
Price Paid: US $85
This is a great shoe. I just completed the Oxfam Trailwalker event in Sydney Australia (100km /63 miles in 24 hours). They are super comfortable. I had no blisters or bruised feet/toes. They held up well for the event and the several hundred miles of training. I expect that they should do around 1000 miles before I need to replace them. Can't recommend them highly enough !!!!
Can't recommend these shoes highly enough! Absolutely…

Can't recommend these shoes highly enough! Absolutely no break-in time, comfortable right out of the box. I wore them on a 26 mile hike through the Sawtooths in Idaho, and had no hot spots or blisters. By far the most comfortable boots I have ever owned.
