Well..my Merrell boots just died. The sole separated from the main foot body on the front side with a partial de-lamination on the back heel.
But...let me tell you something about these babies. The day I pulled them from the store shelf, they either loved me or hated me for what was to become of them. 9 years they provided me with unequaled assistance. Their resume was as follows:
2 rafting trips (Upper Tuolumne/Salmon) * countless desert survival trips (Mojave/Joshua Tree/Death Valley) * Mucho mountains treks & high peaks * They help me set a 250km course for 2 trips through the Gobi desert * Had a heavy spanking for almost 3 months in Australia’s Outback, deserted islands and Daintree rainforest. * Plus a whole lot more.

I put these puts through HELL, and they never let me down. Sadly, they died just after returning from their 2nd tour of Moab, Utah. The point being, MERRELL is NO joke. These are serious boots for your weekend needs and your backcountry necessities. There are many companies out there, but there will ALWAYS be a pair of Merrell’s on my rack.
