"I have had this pair of Merrell Radius for about a year and a half. I use them extensively on moderate to difficult trails in the mountains of Western North Carolina and North Georgia. They are comfortable, water "proof" and durable. I have had no issues with them, at all."

"VERY comfortable right out of the box. I love that they are so light weight.

However, I cannot recommend these because of the same issues noted by the last reviewer. The leather islet tore after about 3 months of use. Too bad. The bottoms of these shoes hardly show any wear at all, but because of the tear, they are already relegated to cutting grass."

"I like Merrell for the fit for me. I bought a pair and wore out the cloth eyelet in a few months. The disappointing part of the boot is that the eyelet rips from normal stress and wear from tightening the laces.

I bought a second pair thinking that it was a defect but I just wore out the second pair the same way after three months."

"I bought the Radius Mid for hiking on the Appalachian Trail. After hiking up Blood Mountain, and all over GA section of the AT, these boots are fantastic. Their wet-proof design kept my feet dry, and their lightweight construction was well appreciated."

"Excellent for fast grippy wet rock running and light back hiking. Also great for upland hunts and paintball ventures.

Down side would be none if used as recommended. Do not use for heavy pack hikes or steep ascensions as the sole is sneaker-like flexible."
