Merrell Zion Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots for Men & Women - Lightweight Outdoor Trekking Shoes for Trail Walking, Backpacking & Mountain Climbing - Perfect for Hiking Adventures & Outdoor Exploration

I typically wear a size 11.5 sometimes a size 12 boot in many brands including Vasque, Keen & Danner. Followed the advice of others & ordered a size 12. They fit fine but still a bit snug, if I ordered again I would maybe even go with a size 12.5. These fit more like an 11.5 does in other big hiking boot brands. Haven’t had them out hiking or anything yet but my first impression is that they are very comfortable and a extremely lightweight boot. Appear to be a quick break in out of the box. Feel more like a trail runner. Haven’t tested the waterproofing yet or overall stability on rough terrain. I don't know how durable they'll be, just by my initial appearance and impressions. Time will tell on that. For what you get, I do think they're a bit overpriced, but if they hold up well and serve their purpose, I will retract that opinion.
