Customer Reviews Merrell Ontario Tall Polar Waterproof

These have been my best ever winter hiking boots! My previous boots didn't quite stand up to deeper snows and the height on these looked excellent for dealing with that. They have been great for the snow so far this year! Very warm and comfortable with no points that rub or irritate my feet. The grips have been great for slush and ice that happens this time of year. The idea of being waterproof seemed unlikely, but I had to cross a path that was flooded over with a couple of inches of water and my socks were still perfectly dry by the end of the hike! Warmest and most comfortable winter boots I've had in a long time!

Extremely comfortable and warm boots; perfect for hiking, snow shoeing or just plain walking. Mine came with the red laces and an extra pair of grey laces and were very light and true to my regular size. Definitely my "GoTo" boots this winter.

Great for hiking around in the snow and the bush. Keep my feet warm, traction is great, very comfortable. The height is perfect, keeps the snow out.

Everything is perfect! Visually stunning. Very light weight, waterproof and has a good grip. The only problem I had was I had to clip something pokey in one of the seams.

Christmas present for my wife. She immediately wore them and loved them

This is one of the best boots I've ever worn. It's warm and super comfortable and looks great on top of all that.

I love these boots. I ordered a half size larger to accommodate heavy socks. They are quite comfortable and warm. The vibram soles are wonderful to hike in rough terrain and their height provide great support for my ankles. I have found these boots to be completely waterproof. No snow or water leaks through. I am a 67 y.o. hiker who monitors eagles for a park in a fairly remote area. The jaunt isn't that long, about 1.5 miles to the site and back again. That can be a tough hike when there are multiple inches of snow. I look forward to using them when the snow gets deep, also being able to test them with snow shoes.

These are terrific boots! I have worn them in deep snow, medium snow, and slushy wet snow. My feet stay warm and dry. Plus the Vibram soles really grab the ground and make me feel safe as I walk, more importantly because I've had two knee replacements. I like how they tie and you can secure them tighter down by the foot as well as up on the ankle and calf. Before I used them I sprayed some waterproof solution on them just to make sure they were water repellent, and so far so good in regards to being dry, because I had to cross a creek one day and had to take two steps through flowing water. I continued to hike for another mile after that and there was no problem with wetness or coldness on my feet. They feel like comfy slippers. I might buy my daughter a pair, they are so nice.

I purchased for snowshoeing but no snow so I've been walking in the cold and my toes stay warm and comfy. I did go up a half size for thick socks and glad I did.

Great for snow, water, hiking, daily walking I love these boots absolutely thrilled with them & they're really cute too

They are warm and comfortable. Have walked/hiked in them in 25 degrees with wool socks and my toes were plenty warm. They have good traction and have kept my feet dry in a foot of snow.

Light weight, incredibly warm, so SO comfy. Have enjoyed these walking the dog and on a long snow shoe hike today. Just get these.... makes it easy to stay outdoor active in the chilly winter.

Great hiking shoes. They are warm and comfortable.

It's a lightweight boot that is warm and feels like a hiking shoe! Plus it's waterproof. It's perfect!

Great in the snow here in NYC. Keeps my feet warm with socks. Lightweight and comfortable!

Very comfy. Wore them on a trail and my feet were dry through the snow, slush, and puddles. Looks cute too.

I haven't been on a long hike with these yet, but on the short walks I've taken in the snow, I'm in love! They are super cute AND comfortable, warm, and fit like a dream. I'm usually a size 9 but ordered half a size up and they are perfect!

I bought these boots for winter hiking & they were perfect! Warm, comfortable fit & stylish too! Great grip for winter hiking conditions. Highly recommend! I bought these online with the help of a sales rep & she lead me to the perfect boots!

I bought these boots to walk my puppy on snowy days. They deliver and then some. They are so comfy and warm, yet light and easy to walk in. They tread on the sole is amazing on ice and snow. Highly recommend.

looking forward to winter in these boots. Warm and comfortable. I can ask for no more.

These boots have it all for cold weather hiking: fit well, water proof, warm, light weight, and have good traction. Most importantly, there stylish too

Comfy, lightweight, waterproof - perfect for the bike trail, woods, and shopping in town. They are so versatile while also being stylish! Thanks Merrell

I love my boots!! They are extremely comfortable, cozy & warm. Just had to wear them a couple times to get them to a perfect fit. Highly recommend them. They are a little stiff but I know will soften up the more I wear them.

Warm and super comfy! Highly recommend from an avid hiker; also perfect for more casual adventures!

Love these boots! They fit perfectly and felt comfortable from the first time I tried them on. No break-in period required. They are also nice and light compared to a lot of winter boots.
