These hikers are GREAT. Wish I'd gotten them months ago. Actually look forward to wearing them. Based on reviews, I ordered a 1/2 size up, and they fit perfectly -- very comfortable and good support.

I bought this boot because I had a pair of Siren hiking shoes that fit perfectly. These boots fit a bit tighter in the same size, but are still ok size-wise. Construction seems good, except for the fact that the left boot has a ridge inside under the removable insole that I was not aware of for several days (when the insole compressed enough for me to feel it). That ridge rests under the tips of my toes and will become painful in time. I wish I had noticed it before I decided to keep the shoes, because it would have been an automatic return due to the obvious flaw.

I bought these hiking boots to head to New Life Hiking Spa in Killington, Vermont. I'd never hiked before, but these boots were comfortable straight out of the box. I bought them 1/2 size larger than what I usually wear.

I am very pleased with these boots. I am devoted to the Siren Sport shoes, and so I hoped the boots would work equally well for me, and they have been great so far. (Haven't had the opportunity to test the waterproof factor yet.) They are comfortable and supportive, and they have not needed any breaking in. Also, they can accommodate my orthotic inserts. About the sizing: I too found that they run small, even compared to other Merrells. Although I wear an 8 in the Siren Sport shoe, I needed an 8.5 in these.

This is a nice boot in general, but not the perfect one for my feet in particular. The balls of my feet are fairly wide, whereas the rest of my foot is average, so it's always a bit of a struggle to find shoes that are comfortable for long periods of time. They ended up fitting decently only after I did some creative lacing. I wore these boots as everyday wilderness footwear for a month. I didn't do any major hiking, but I did do some small hikes, as well as things like portaging canoes, scrambling over rough terrain, and wading through mud and puddles. They seem to have held up well, and they are definitely quite waterproof (and consequently take forever to dry when wet. Like 3 days in the sun forever). They're reasonably comfortable for what I used them for, although after a while on long portages they would start to rub the bottom of my foot where the big toe meets the foot (this may have had more to do with the lacing and with my feet in particular). I also felt like my heel wasn't locked in place, per se in my boots. Anyway, to summarize I would say that overall these are nice quality boots, that are quite waterproof and if they fit well would be pretty comfortable. I would not recommend these particular boots to people with wide feet; however, I think they could be quite nice for average to narrow-footed people.

I love these Merrell shoes. I recently sprained my ankle and they give me support when walking over uneven ground. I did get a half size larger and glad I did. The waterproof exterior is wonderful and overall a great purchase. This is one reason I wear only Merrell shoes. Buying from Zappos is so convenient, with no delivery charge. Thanks for a great product and quick delivery.

Brands I'd also recommend: I wear only merrells

I bought these for a Fall hiking trip in upstate NY. Conditions were wet and muddy, and these kept my feet totally dry, even when I had to cross a shallow stream! They were so comfortable I needed no break in period. I usually wear a 5.5, but wasn't sure of the fit so I ordered both a 5.5 and 6 to compare. I kept the 6 so I could wear a thick sock with it. Worked perfectly. Great hiking shoe and light, too!
