I was replacing a pair of North Face boots that I have had for something like 15 years. I had no complaints with this brand but I figured if Merrell was good enough for the ADF they should suit my needs. I’m heading into parts of the Australian outback this Christmas and wanted a pair of lightweight waterproof boots with great ankle support. I walked in these boots for an hour when I first got them. No rubbing or blisters and they were extremely comfortable, impressive. The side zip is a handy addition. In short, I am very happy with these boots and can’t wait to use them more ‘in the wild’. Cheers, Barry

A solid, comfortable boot that really hugs the foot and lower leg with excellent padding and no real rub areas (for me.) I have a 2e wide foot and normally take an 11.5 US size. The size 12 was perfect for me and not too long on the toes. My first wear was literally for a whole day and the boots were comfy and I had no blisters or rub. The zips were solid and the whole build was perfect. I would avoid if you have VERY wide feet or thick Achilles and lower calves but this is standard on most boots. Highly recommended and a real solid feel whilst still some flex at the ankle.
