        Comments about Merrell Wilderness Original Hiking Boot - Men's:

        I wore every day for almost 3 years after 2 surgeries on each foot. Started back running in these - my feet are now healed, but still wear Merrell's when my feet need rest/recovery. Mine are 22 years old, a little scuffed up...but as good as when they were new. I am going to get another pair, because my wife likes me to wear them...says I need a "dress pair".

            20 years later they're still going and I haven't taken care off them really well. they are now grey and marked up but still are excellent boots. I may get another pair since they look so cool and retro. I hope they are still made the same as they were back in 92!

                I have owned a pair of these for about 12 years. They are the most comfortable boots I have ever worn. Granted, they take a long time to break in properly, but worth it.
                I have worn them hiking, hunting, worn them with snow shoes, heck, I even ran a 5K race in them.
                I've had them re-soled at least 4 times, and probably will again.

                      It is advised to order 1/2 size up to accommodate for padded hiking socks and the physiological when backpacking.
