It is absolutely wild to me how far hiking boot technology has progressed in my lifetime. I remember my earliest pairs when I was a kid in the Boy Scouts and how my parents would basically make me wear them every day for weeks to break them in ahead of any trip and my heels would get absolutely demolished by blisters while my feet were constantly overheating. Well, the future is now.
These all-day comfort hiking boots from Merrell are waterproof but allow your feet to breathe, they offer all the right ankle and arch support, and they enable you to stay light on your feet day after day while pounding the trails.
