Good Hiking Shoes?.

There is no real good hiking shoes!. Do you know why?. Because hiking doesn't mean the same distance or the same terrain all the time. Let's start with

1.Light hiking : You will be happy with shoes called "Day Hikers" a slightly more rugged version of the sneakers you wear for running or walking
2.Long hiking : Or hiking that require you to carry weight on back. You will be fine with higher, stiffer boots plus hard plastic or steel shank. It won't let your boots twisting and give you feet and ankles more stability.

And be sure to look for a boot that keeps water out and dries quickly because you don't want your feet to stink too muck right?. And for me I would love to advice you Merrell Shoes.

The good things about merrell shoes is "comfortable fit" and technologies like Gore-Tex, Vibram, Polartec, Thinsulate and waterproof make them usable at any climatic conditions. Also it's doesn't cost too much for you pocket. But like I said before there is no good hiking shoes, So think about your trip carefully and consider what shoes you should have.

Love them. Such a great fit. Received very quickly. Only let down was they did not have the carmel colored ones in my size. Everyone that sees them comments on how great my sandals look..where did I get them? etc.

Customer Review: Comfortable and rugged
I have found these shoes to be refreshenly comfortable. I bought them for doing missionary work in rural Rwanda. The shoes held up well in the terrain and were extremely comfortable. I will definately purchase another pair when I need them.
Customer Review: A Handful of dust
A prompt delivery to an overseas APO address. Good fit. Comfortable in the heat. So far standing up to the rough terrain and the dry heat of southern Afghanistan. The dust, however, seems to pentrate the weave and enter the shoe. This is a problem peculiar to this region and should be sorted once I'm home

Women's Merrell Tetra Pitch Waterproof

" Board Lasted/Weather Tight™ Construction " Full Grain Waterproof Leather Upper " Breathable Mesh Lining " Elastic Gore Insert " Polartec® Footbed Cover " 4.5mm Anatomical Antimicrobial Cita-XY™ Aegis™ Footbed " Nylon 6.6 Injection Molded Arch Shank " Q-Form® Polyurethane Merrell Air Cushion Midsole " Merrell Tetra II™ Sole/Sticky Rubber " Women's Weight:1 lb. 7 ozs.
Customer Review: Poorly fitting
These shoes were poorly fitting so I returned them. I had to size down one full shoe size, and they were still very sloppy in the heel counter, such that I had visions of blisters. Although I've been generally happy with the way Merrell brand shoes fit, these were awful. I would not recommend them!!!
Customer Review: Merrell Boots
I love the look of the boot - exactly what I was looking for - great for work, but also great for casual footwear. I found that they fit a little snug - so I would reccommend ordering a 1/2 size larger than you would normally wear.

Customer Review: Good Grip
These shoes have great grip for hiking but little ankle support. They are comfortable but not as great as the previous generation that had more cushion. They track a lot of mud into the house.
Customer Review: My best shoes
These are the best pair of shoes I have ever had! They are very comfortable but the little problem that it was a little small of size! I purchased size 10 but It would have been better if i would have ordered 10.5!

Merrell Men's Chameleon Wrap Mid GORE-TEX Hiking Shoe

Chameleon performance and protection at the pinnacle, responding to changes in pace, place and weather. A mid-high cut adds support, and wraparound rand and toe box protect the foot-centering, low-profile Merrell In-Board footframe. Vibram Chameleon Hiker sole adds oversize, sharply-angled lugs to the multi-directional Chameleon figure-eight pattern for increased downhill braking.
Customer Review: Hecka of a boot
I've worn out many boots in the last 30 years and these are among the best.Great fit feel looks traction for a low cut boot these might even handle a 2-3 day backpack over rough backcountry.Only walked a few miles around town but I can tell these boots require no break-in time and are ready to take on whatever you can put them through.They won't last forever but you'll get a lot of miles while tearing up the trails and not your feet.
Customer Review: Have not received the boot
Dear Sirs: We have not received the boot yet. Pls advise. Regards, Andre

" Women's Weight: 1 lb. 6 ozs.
Customer Review: Wish I could give the shoe 5 stars
I've done everything in these shoes: hiking in Colorado, canoeing in Virginia, November steelhead fishing in New York, Walleye fishing on Lake Erie. They are by far the most maintenance-free shoe I've ever owned. They are definitely waterproof, and the synthetic material actually kept my wet feet warm in 40-degree temperatures (don't ask me how, but I was surprised). Two problems with these shoes: 1. too narrow. I got a blister the first hike with these shoes, and my right little toe tends to rub often when I wear them. I even got a 1/2 size too large. 2. shoestrings are junk. The tubular shoestrings will NOT stay tied. I bought a $2 pair of flat strings and they've been fine. I would recommend this shoe, but if you think you have wide feet, you better walk around in them first!
Customer Review: most comfortable shoes
My husband loves these shoes i got for him for christmas! Very comfortable and fit great...highly recommended.

Customer Review: Great boot! Two weeks for delivery??
Instant comfort, no break-in needed. Ordering one size larger than your street shoe should be fine. However, they came from ShoeMall and delivery took 14 days. Update: Boots are very pliable. Good boot for smooth trails. For rocky terrain, find a stiffer boot.
Customer Review: Best hiking boots for Southern Trails
I bought these boots for Nordic Walking on nature trails here in the South during summer time. I decided for Merrell Moab Ventilator Mid in order to have a ankle support on rocky trails and a very good breathing shoe down here with the high humidity in summer.This boot with a sportman insole fits my foot like custom made, I even wear them riding my mountain bike. I was warned about the size, my size is 12.5 but 13 just fits tight with good hiking socks.

Merrell Women's Puffin Lace High Brown

A winter boot thats literally high on style, with a distinctive wool trimmed collar, waterproof leather upper and low, slightly sneaker like look on the bottom, thanks to a low profile In Board EVA footframe with integrated Merrell Air Cushion and a protective rubber rand. Graphic Merrell Penguin sole has the tread and sticky rubber compound to maintain verticality in slick and sloppy conditions.
Customer Review: I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE BOOTS!
I've never had a good pair of boots before I got these as a gift- I was very pleasantly surprised! I have never bought the brand Merrell before, but they fit perfectly and are so comfortable! They seem really thin (I was always used to having to wear bulky boots) but they keep my feet so warm and dry! I stepped in a 6 inch puddle the other day and felt nothing! I love how unique they look (there's a special surprise on the soles of the shoes too :) and they are comfortable as gym shoes! I get compliments all the time and no one else has them! They are definitely worth the price, and I've actually considered buying a second pair!
Customer Review: Puffin Tall Boot
I purchased this item for my 21-year-old daughter, and she describes them as both comfortable and fashionable.
