Customer Reviews Merrell Zion Mid Waterproof X Unlikely Hikers

These are great. Most shoes hurt my feet. These have been wonderful. I can easily walk 10 miles. I have a rip in my toe which makes them no longer waterproof. Can you please run these again? I would say the demand is high.

Purchased these when they first came out along with the socks and I couldn't be anymore impressed. They keep my feet warm have great stability and get lots of compliments and questions on where to buy. Taking my dogs out when it's 1 and negative wind chill hasn't been an issue as my feet stay warm and when I need to unstick a frozen dog tootsie roll the toe guard stays firm and I don't feel a thing. I wear them to work in the winter and don't have an issue with my feet overheating while inside. Major props to those who collaborated to make these boots.

Performed awesome in very rugged Big Bend backcountry... lots of loose rock, but had great traction, lots of sharp rocks, but tough soles, lots of stubbing toes on rocks sticking out of ground, but great toe guard. Best shoes I've owned!!

These shoes are both incredibly comfortable and fashionable. I love wearing them to the park on a muddy day, and going on hikes all over my area. They clean off very easily. They look great with whatever other gear you're wearing too!

I work in the sanitation department in my local municipality. The job entails a lot of getting on and off the back of the truck, along with a lot of stop and go action. The boot is very comfortable and the ankle support is very secure. I wish there was some sort of toe protection but other than that I highly recommend.

So, I've been told that I always look like I'm carrying a gun. And I am. But sometimes I'd prefer to not have the "vet bro" vibe going on. I'm be honest, I bought these because I love the cause they support, and I'm also a huge Miami Dolphins fan. If you're in the same boat with the phins - they don't match great in person, but the point is definitely made when paired with a hat and jersey. I love that these are ready to rock if I need to traverse technical terrain - they're actually quite nice to run in compared to any other mids (besides MOAB vents, can't beat perfection). But they also keep the look pretty casual. A close look shows these aren't sneakers, but nobody will know unless they're looking - and by then they already like them. Typically I'm in low tactical looking trail runners or hiking shoes - but even if I'm wearing some ridiculous shirt and a gun company branded hat - the shoes honestly tone it down to where the outfit doesn't scream "this dude is definitely carrying a gun, knife, and flashlight at all times". I'm 35 for reference - probably will age out of them shortly as far as style, but I look younger, and then they'll just be cool hikers with a neat story and GameDay gear.

Study, light - incredible. Easy to break in. Great looking boot!

These finally have a great fit, and enough roominess for my feet. Sometimes I order a wider fit boot, but these were great as-is. I was a little hesitant ordering online due to fitment issues, but they worked out very well. Traction and stability is very good as well.

Absolutely the most comfortable hiking shoe I've ever owned. Great foot cushioning and ankle support. And the grip is crazy good!

Great support, robust sole, with a head turning pop. I love these boots.

Feels just like the Zion and just as durable. Needs a bit of a break in.

Super cool color, instant comfortable fit, true to size, sole grips well on ice

Super comfortable from the moment you put them on. Wear them hiking everyday in the snow and water and my feet are completely dry and warm. So far they have totally stood up to everything I ask from a pair of hiking boots and more. I strongly recommend these boots!!!

I ordered my true size in tennis shoes (NIke) for these boots & they fit perfectly. I have a pretty flat foot. Only worn them around the house so far, but they've been very comfortable. Looking forward to testing these out on the trail soon.

the shoes are exactly what I wanted and are comfortable. would purchase them again.

I have never owned real hiking boots due to my wide feet. When these arrived and I was able to easily slip then on i could have sworn I heard those heavenly angels singing. I'm eager to start hiking more frequently this year.

Style, color, and function are great! My feet stay warm and dry all day. These are my new favorite shoes for my winter disc golf league in Michigan! Thanks!

Super comfortable. Very stylish. Great grip on snow, ice, and wet surfaces. Have been loving them for my hikes and disc golf outings.

Only worn them hiking through the snow in the city so far, but great look and super comfortable!

The fit is amazing and the comfort level is top notch. They are lightweight enough for every day walking, as I am doing for the month of February #100milechallenge (Stop Soldier Suicide), yet heavy duty and very durable.

I've never owned hiking boots before but have to say that the Zion model is great. I've worn these while shoveling snow and in a slight downpour and can say they definitely are waterproof. The vibram sole seems to have enough grip.

These are really great boots. Warm and comfortable. The only negative is that they smell. Could just be my feet, but no other boots I own smell like these. I just keep them under my wife's side of the bed.
