he Wilderness is the classic hiking boot, no bells and whistles, just a solid all-leather upper on Norweigan welt sole construction. Less is more. www.ftworthwindshields.com Weakness:
None so far. |

These are hands down the best hiking/backpacking boot on the market. True they can take quite a while to break in but once they are they're super comfortable. I've had these boots for 10yrs and wore them in all types of conditions heat, snow, and rain. See: www.photoboothrentalscharlotte.com Weakness:

I will buy another pair as soon as I find another semi-good deal. If I don't find a good buy soon I won't mind shelling out the 250 for a new pair. I walk long distances in the city, and in the mountains. My feet that were once borderline healthy are in great shape. Waterproofing Contractor Weakness:

I like the stiffness better for off-trail use, but needless to say I wish they were just as light as before. This is the best full-leather boot I've ever owned. There was never any trouble with break-in and amazingly the liners have held up. -- Tile Company Weakness:

Had them since the late 80s. Climbed Mt. Blanc in crampons with them. Wonderful boots, very light but strong. I'd still be using them but they were always too narrow and I can't get them stretched enough to keep up with my widening feet. And now none are available in Wide. Customer Service All customer service tells me is that they no longer carry them in my size. Similar Products Used: Vasque |

Its a sad story with these shoes. They were comfortable but I had to backpack the last 7 miles of a trip in Yosemite barefoot because the crappy soles fell off of the shoes. If you are a serious backpacker, stay away from these shoes. |

Used in conjunction with the Superfeet insoles I broke these boots in for a month wearing them around town. Took them on a week long backpacking excursion to Vermont's Long Trail. Verdict: Love the construction--Superfeet insoles did not provide enough padding to the ball of the foot causing extreme pain after a mere 2 days worth of walking. The Vibram soles used with this boot are horrendous as I found them from week one be slippery when wet, and wore down extremely easily. I love the construction of the Norwegian welt design however the soles had me falling on a number of occasions walking on wet rock--or slipping while walking to a seat in a train. These are my 2nd pair of Merrell boots in under a year--and certainly my last. Conclusion: Superfeet insoles were not worth the $32.00 paid for--I had more comfort from a $10.00 pair of rubber insoles purchased from DICKS sporting goods. After 20 years of outdoor fun I've finally come to the realization that "heavy" boots suck--and cause far more problems. If you're looking for boots to go backpacking with buy something light in weight, and flexible. From now on I will use either light hikers, or waterproof approach shoes (adventure sneakers). Similar Products Used: Merrell Altitude Other boots of which I do not remember Timberline light hikers--purchased for $50.00 in some department store and gave me 6 years of dependable and comfortable service. |

I found these at Marshall's, one of those discount stores that sells irregular and last season's products. I couldn't believe they were $32! Mine are brown, but I think these are black now. I generally wear a 10D but these are marked 10N and they fit my foot just fine. I had a very short break in period, and have found these boots just the ticket for supporting heavier pack loads. The Wilderness is the classic hiking boot, no bells and whistles, just a solid all-leather upper on Norweigan welt sole construction. Less is more.
