Merrell's roots are on the trail with a rich history of backpacking with boots like the Wilderness. But things have changed in the last 41 years and that's what prompted them to create the new Rogue Hiker. They set out to create the best hiking shoe in the world that has three key elements: lightness, traction and durability. Because when carrying a heavy backpack, it's not just about stability and directional stability, but also every single gram. The market is full of robust, heavy backpacking boots, so Merrell took a unique approach to the design.

1st time buying Merrell, I have knee problems. I wore them for steep hiking on dry terrain for 2hrs and 14 min. I was a little skeptical since they were new, I was afraid of blisters or other discomforts. No discomfort, blisters or soreness of any kind. The have good support and the heel feels like strong spring support.

I bought these a month ago for Nat'l Park trips, day hikes, and bagging some Adirondack High Peaks. Since purchasing I've put about 80+ miles on them. During my trip to Yosemite last week the Gore-Tex failed on the first day and failed on every subsequent hike despite blue bird days (conditions varied from snow melt, mud, to dryer trail sections). As a result, the boot's insole lost any of its substance/cushion by the end of the week. Another design flaw are the top 3 eyelets which are difficult to lace across the instep of your foot and the boot's tongue is very thin so the eyelets dig into your ankle.

If you don’t lace them just right the tongue will dig into your ankle and hurt. Otherwise I love them.
Really wanted to live these boots. Right when I tried them on they were painful. Merle design has a fold in the inside and outside above the arch that digs into the side of your feet. Just walking in house with it I knows this was going to hurt/blister after 10 miles. Shame because they checked all the boxes for me and fit perfect otherwise.
When I got these bad boys in the mail, it was like opening up the briefcase from Pulp Fiction. They were glowing with beauty, and they made my eyes hurt in the best way possible. Then the actual wearing came, and if I hadn't looked down to see these boots were on my feet, I wouldn't have known they were there, or, more accurately, I would have thought my feet had entered into two pillowy clouds of cotton candy foot treats. Typically I want to get my boots off after a hike, but these I felt comfortable in on the trail and off. Favorite boots I've owned so far.
I purchased this shoe for the ankle support, when I tried them on I noticed that all my weight is back on my heels. This is the second pair of boots from Merrell that has this weight distribution. I have worn Merrell for over 20 years and was the only brand of boot I would buy but now I need to look else where. I had achilles tendonitis and this new design by Merrell is only going to cause more issues with the tendons. On top of everything, I was charged to return their newly designed, uncomfortable boot.
