I really loved these boots, however I had to return them due to them being slightly too narrow in the toe box. My feet run slightly wide - some non-"wide" shoes fit great and others simply will not work for me. My toes felt a little bunched up in one foot. However I really liked the shoes otherwise. They look great and feel great aside from the width issue for me. Construction seemed good and they definitely were a more classic-looking boot (like something you could get away with wearing to work) than other Merrell boots.

These are some of the most comfortable hiking boots I've ever had! They're really cushy, look good, and on top of it all they're waterproof! They will be my go to shoes for all my outdoor and urban adventures!

I like a boot that 'rolls' with my step, like a trail sneaker would. That's exactly what these do. My old standbys, the Timberlands kind of hesitate and are stiffer in the roll. These are all day, everywhere boots. Since I received the boots last week, I've hiked 25 miles in Montana wilderness, wet and dry and mountain biked about 15 miles. All experiences were outstanding. Not even consious that I had a boot on. Super pliable with excellent ankle support. And they don't look like every other hiking boot out there. Must try, will buy!

I am a woman who often looks to mens footwear to accommodate my wide feet. And although these boots are comfortable and supportive, they are quite narrow. I wish more shoe manufacturers would make wide shoes/boots. I think most people prefer wiggle room for their toes, and would rather not have the sides of their feet squished in their shoes.

Comfortable out of the box. I use them for my daily Fitbit 5-mile walks and needed them to support my 75-year old weak ankles. Mine are black and look nice for everyday use. Double-tie the heavyweight laces for a constant cinched-up day.

This is quite possibly the best shoe I have ever worn. I'm in residential construction so these bad boys have been taking a beating. But, with that being said, they have do nothing but impress me. The comfort is unmatched; I honestly prefer having these on in comparison to being barefoot. The support is great, and the waterproofing is unbeatable.

I used to buy non-leather "vegan" boots ... until I backslid into these beauties. These Merrell Ontarios were made the way hiking boots should be made (and used to be made) ... with as few stitches as possible and with real leather. The Duragrip soles are a bonus as they grip well in all conditions. They are truly beautiful!

I bought these shoes just because I liked their look and after my 1st pair of merrells impressed me. These have been a great pair of shoes with zero disappointment! I have long been a sneaker fan most of my life, but these are my 2nd pair of merrell shoes. The light weight, durability and comfort is on par for the perfect shoe for me.

Patagonia to NYC then crisscrossed America ... an all around amazing boot. Had mine for about a year now and couldn't be happier. Just purchased a pair for one of my hiking partners for the Holidays.

I love the lightness of them. So comfortable. They do feel a bit warm after a while but it's probably because of the waterproofing. I have used these a few times and usually get my feet aches around mile 12. I imagine it being a normal experience. I am learning about my hiking boots. Overall: great!

Zero break in period and comfortable for all day wear. Waterproofing seems to work really well so far. I wear them 4 to 5 days a week for the last 3 months with zero issues. I keep the leather cleaned and treated about once every few weeks with conditioner / waterproofer and the leather is super soft. Highly recommend this boot.

These boots are very very comfortable, light weight. I wear 13 and M with, and wear crew socks with them. Even tho they are hiking boots I use these for work everyday. I purchased May 2020 and they are still holding up well. You won’t regret this purchase!

I bought these new before a trip in the Rockies. I didn't utilize a proper break-in period and instead hiked in them all day on day one. They are very comfortable and lightweight while still providing good protection while hiking and scrambling scree.

I have had this boot for close to a year. I wear them frequently while fishing and engaging in other outdoor activities. They are absolutely comfortable on the trail and have excellent tread. I recommend these boots to anyone who is looking for something to wear for any activity.

I bought these boots for the specific reason of walking long distance on concrete. It may seem weird, but I need some footwear with support, waterproof, and not too stiff. The running style sole and the light weight of the boots are just perfect. I put about 20mi on the boots the second day i had them. I thought I might have to use my backup pair of shoes, but there was no reason to change. The boots worked beyond expectations. My feet stayed comfortable, warm, and dry. These are a great pair of boots.
