"First Merrell product I have ever had to send back. . . got these to replace my other lightweight hikers. They fit great, but after only about 30 miles the lace eyelets were already causing so much abrasion the laces broke. . . then after about 10 more miles one of the metal eyelets broke all together."

Good boots for the price. Only two complaints, the round threads toward the front of the vibram sole pick up small stones whenever walking on gravel. They also tend to feel hot compared to both my old Hi-Tecs and my Asolos. They are definitely a better boot overall then the Hi-Tecs in both quality and comfort after hiking, stay away from them if you live in a desert climate (I'm in WI so no worries).
