As an LEO that works in the Forest and a variety of environments in the Pacific Southwest Terrain, I found these boots extremely comfortable.Moving from an officer on the street to the Forest quickly showed me that danner and Bates no longer met my outdoor needs while on patrol.I typically like wide shoes and these fit great. They are a great all rounder for on pavement to dirt, to mud, to trails, and do ok with a quick dip in the stream. they’re not water proof and I’m sure you could spray them for more resistance.I attached photos of my new boots and old. The old boots were about 1.5 years. Never “cleaned” them except with a hose from time to time. I work in the Forest and they got dirty the moment I stepped in the dirt. I wore them every regular and OT shift for 16+ hour days and they were always comfortable.About a year in I put in a dr. Scholl’s sport insert that replaced the worn out soles.If I’m going through very rugged terrain or specifically going hiking I would change into my Merrill’s hiking boots that had a more aggressive tread and were lighter, but these I believe could keep up on moderate level trails. Again they’re a great all rounder. If time was an issue I wouldn’t hesitate to keep them on.I’ll keep buying

I go through a lot of boots because I hike, walk a lot and work in my nursery while wearing boots. I previously ordered a pair of Free Soldier boots which were much less expensive and very comfortable but the soles didn't adequately support my feet over time. I re-developed plantar fasciitis. I decided to order these Merrell boots despite the cost and they change everything for me. I wear custom orthotics so I bought a size 12 boot for my 11 1/2 foot because of the added space they take up. The boots are extremely comfortable and easy to put on and take off, considering these are tall boots. Once you work them in a little, all you have to do is loosen the top two rows of laces, unzip the sides and pull the velcro strap back. When you put them back on you get a tight, secure fit and barely notice you have boots on your feet. They feel light but supportive and do the job on technical trails. They have been water tight for me so far and I wear them in all kinds of weather. I also where them in the dead of summer. Highly recommend.
