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.

Customer Review: I hate these shoes
They are comfotable thats the only good thing. I spend most of the time picking rocks out of the sole of the shoes. I have never seen a shoe that has this problem this bad before. If you dont pick them out it sounds like your wearing tap shoes and scratches the hell of of nice floors. Now there is a squeek in the right shoe that I cannot get to go away.They are 1 week old and going into the trash. They are very comfortable but I will never buy another pair of Merrell.
Customer Review: never had a bad Merrell shoe
These are my 7th or 8th pair of Merrells these are excellent for a rough trail shoe as the side walls are reinforced with extra layers to protect from side impacts...also makes the whole shoe firmer.....great service arrived as expected!!! keep up the great work !!

I recently purchase this item for my husband, we were unable to order them from the original website Merrell, but thanks to amazon, we were able to purchase this item. My husband really love these shoes and I would like to thank amazon for making it available to ue. Thank You Amazon Lica
Customer Review: Once you break them in they're the best.
I've worn the various Waterpro's for the past few years, and I LOVE them. You have to break them in before they're comfortable, but they are rugged and reliable. Once they are properly broken in, they feel great. They're great for hiking, and you can really throw them in the wash. They dry fast. Plus, they just look totally cool!

Customer Review: Women's Merrell Plaza Bandeau
Women's Merrell Plaza BandeauThis shoe is very comfortable, and well made. I loved how the shoes fit. I wore these shoes with dressy slacks and they looked fine. I love how they felt, it was almost as if I did not have on a high heel shoe, of course it was a low heel. I am used to wearing flat shoes, but I loved the height on these shoes.

Customer Review: Great Shoes but...
Another excellent Merrell shoe and it does run small so order a size larger and more important do not purchase from Shoebuy.com they will not accept a return for larger size if you 'wear' them, i.e. put them on to see if they fit..they returned my shoes and refused a refund etc. Buyer beware of this cheesy supplier
Customer Review: Great Shoe
Exceeded my expectations. Fantastic in every way except the sole. Only downside is the sole which is too fine collects a lot of debris and rocks that can be tracked indoors.

" 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: what's up Merrell
Loved my first pair of Merrell, lasted for ever. This pair the outside sole started peeling off (both shoes!) leaving a hole for sand to make its way into the shoe. Haven't been able to get someone on the phone, hopefully it was just a defect and not the product of inferior materials
Customer Review: good for treks in the country or city
comfortable and good for "treks" in the country or city. Style also seems to work good with jeans on a night out on the town ... kind of a "cross-over" shoe. only reason I gave it 4-stars is the laces sometimes come off the top "hooks" if you don't lace them up too tight.

Customer Review: Most comfortable hiking boots I own...
to say in short:these boots are well worth the money even if you are just a day hiker...they really are completely waterproof(Gore-tex is apparently good stuff) and the traction and grip(even on wet rocks)that the Vibrom soles give is almost unbelievable. Extremely comfortable:I have had these for only five days. Of which three of those days was constant hiking in the White Mountain Region,so they were put to rigourous use. I have read reviews where people say these shoes make their feet sweat, I have not experienced this problem at all,even while hiking.(Although my feet don't normally sweat anyways so....)The one odd thing I noticed was that on the side of the heel there were some crease marks...not sure whats up with that but if something goes amiss I'll add it in here later...Other than that I highly recommend this boot....oh and Merrell is s subsidiary company to Wolverine, the company that makes boots for our honorable United States Soldiers.
Customer Review: Excellent Hiking shoe
This is an excellent shoe for a casual hiker. Perfect fit and extremely comfortable. I wore this shoe for my recent visit to Yosemite and Kings Canyon in CA and my feet loved me for it. Great build quality and comfort. Well worth the price.
