Here's what other sites are saying:

From Altrec Outdoors:
"A fully realized mountain boot meticulously rendered in the Merrell manner- tough, durable, powerful and ready to face off with demanding conditions and bouy up a heavy load. Waterproof top grain leather upper is cut close to eliminate bulk and matched to an In-Board construction that internalizes the EVA footframe and integrated stiffened insole. The Vibram Hiker Sole recruits Trek and Super Trek rubber for grip and braking even at full-throttle wilderness speeds.End uses: Backpacking with a medium to heavy load (35+ lbs) on long and tough trails. Best worn with mid-weight hiking socks or a combination of light liner with mid-weight sock."

From Backcountry Outlet:
"Your friend's pack fits only 45 liters, and it looks like you'll be carrying the heavy stuff. Outfit your feet with the Merrell Men's Traverse Backpacking Boot and count on excellent traction, support, and shock-absorption-even under a heavy load and across tough terrain. Slip-lasted construction and a Vibram Backpacker sole with Trek rubber keep you gripped to that sloping rock face, even when your pack tries to answer to the call of gravity. Merrell gave these leather boots compression-molded EVA midsoles for support and Air Cushion midsoles to take the sting out of downhill jaunts. A TPU rear stabilizer keeps your heel in place for precise footing and less blisters. Should your trek involve hardpack or ice, the Traverse Boots work with most styles of crampons."

"These are a great boot for doing that bit extra out in the outdoors. The rubber has just started coming away around the sole and Merrell NZ were great at getting it fixed up for me.

I'm a hunter and I'm rough on my boots and they normally don't last long at all but these are really lasting the distance."

"Just bought a pair of these boots. After I got them home I found out that one of them leaks like crazy. Not recommended!"
