User Review: Merrell Men's Sawtooth

Rating: rated 1 of 5 stars
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $119

Summary

Don't waste your money on these Merrells. There are much better boots out there; Scarpa, and La Sportiva come to mind.

Pros

  • Has monster cleat Vibram soles.

Cons

  • Eyelets will rip out when you tighten the boot.
  • Stiff as a ski boot when new.

Boots received at 11:00am via UPS, and put on the first, and last, time at 2:30pm. The first time I tightened the strings to tie the boot one entire eyelet rivet pulled out of the boots side, leaving a nice giant hole where it was riveted into the leather.

The boots are also stiffer than a ski boot—even after I mink oiled them. Save your money, for better boots.
