Customer Reviews Merrell Work Breacher Tactical Mid Waterproof

I'm an orthopedic surgery nurse and I'm on my feet long hours most days. I bought these boots hoping for something more comfortable than standard court shoes. These boots are so much more than that! Truly the most comfortable boots I own!! They are really well made a pleasure to wear every day.

The Breachers are more like a tactical sneaker, but one which supports the ankles very well. They are supremely comfortable with good cushioning. I'd buy another pair if I could find one!

Very comfortable boot awesome cushion and nice padded ankle support

I've been running my dogs on the trails in these. I'm also wearing them to make new running trails. They have free great protection and are super comfortable.

This boot came with a piece of plastic protruding into my big toe. So I preheated the oven and molded it back in to form. The boot developed a small crack where the adhesive meets the sole. Had to use some super glue to fix it. The boots wearable and comfortable now.

I bought these to replace my heavier winter-weight hiking boots and so far I'm very happy with my choice. These will serve me well during the warmer months when I want an ankle-high boot. Very comfortable--I don't regret the purchase.

Really comfortable, well constructed hiker. I like that there eyelets all the way up for your laces.

Very comfortable shoe . Fits like a glove . Nice and light

Great boot for multiple applications & various conditions.

Love these boots, great style, comfort, performance.

I received a pair of these for Christmas and working in Corrections I got to test them out working 4- 16 hour shifts and I have to say they are the most comfortable boot I have ever put my feet in. Being a patrol officer for the institution I am in out of the snow here in Wisconsin and they kept my feet warm and dry. I don't think I'll be able to wear anything else in the future.

I bought this Pair a month ago and are really standing out...they are a one of a kind

Best duty boot ever. If you work in law enforcement or EMS, you won't regret getting this boot. Light, comfortable, waterproof, easy to clean.

I work outside on my feet all day and i have tried red wings boots which hurt my feet. I have worn danner boots which have been good in my opinion but depends on the boot because i have had a few that made my feet hurt. I started with merrel agility peak and those where awesome dont know why they dont sell them any more, i found the tactical breacher boot and i would say it is an evolution of the agility peak i still kinda like the agility peak better they feel different but both shoes are great. I like that they added the loop to help pull it on. I have had them for about a month so far so good.

Lasted two years in EMS in Canada. Fit a little small, so definitely size up about 0.5. After two years, over 4000 hours of wear, the sole started peeling off. Liked them enough to replace with another pair of Merrell's.

Boot runs slightly smaller and narrower than other Merrell boots. Ride is not as comfortable/soft as the Moab2. Boot looks great, purchased the olive green, and design holds foot more tightly in foot bed. Biggest complaint is no fast lace feature. Traditional eyelets require more time/effort putting boot on the other tactical boots. Boot is comfortable and waterproof. Can't verify but claims boot can be worn in warm weather without over heating. Durability should be good with reinforced plastic over top of shoe. Sole is a harder material than other hikers. Styling is good but not steal toed and definitely not a legitimate breaching boot. Would recommend for casual wear and short hikes.

I primarily purchased these boots to use during the football season as I am a football referee. They proved to be well worth the money, lightweight, definitely kept my feet dry and warm. I did wear them on a couple hikes, I was impressed when I came across a pretty wet area and stepped into mud just above my ankle and my feet were still pretty dry. It is only been 6 months so I cannot attest to durability but so far I've had no problems and no sign of major wear. I do fully intent to buy another pair before the 2022 football season. These are a great all-around active boot.

The boots seem incredibly well made, but unfortunately, the lack of wide sizes makes them unwearable for me. I took a chance when I bought them, hoping they would strectch enough. But after a week of wearing, I had to abandon because they hurt my feet too much. So in short, good quality boots, but the fact that there isn't a 15W size (16W ideally!) makes them unconfortable for wider feet.

I've had these boots for approximately a year. In comparison to other Merrell products I have and had these are much more narrow and tight fitting around the foot. Especially in the toes and balls of the foot. I thought it would flex and stretch with a little time and usage but it maintained it's sizing. Overall they are a good, very light weight boot. Just be careful with the fit if you have a borderline wide foot such as I do.

I have always had a good experiences with merrell 11.5 shoes. No matter the style, 11.5 is my jam. Owning the Altalights, which are the same foot bed design as these boots, I figured this boot would be a no brainer. These breacher boots are smaller in the toe box area than the Altalights and my other numerous pairs of merrell shoes and are, unfortunately, unwearable. Love everything else.

I've heard great things about this boot and wish it came in a wide width because it was extremely tight and my foot was hurting immediately.

Tight across top of feet. Ordered same size as my other boots.
