Good, comforable boot. Unforuntately fell apart after two week-long backpacking trips. Luckily was still under warranty. I have had two pairs of Merrells now and the soles have come unglued on both of them. Very comfortable but don't waste your money

Indestructiblle Vibram Soles.....Too bad they come off the boot. After 250 miles the soles had to be cemented back on and the fit always hurt high up on my feet.

Using the superstrut construction gives this boot tremendous ankle support. A bit on the heavy side, but still very comfortable. Like the Grand Traverse this boot is GREAT!!!
