Most Merrells are known for their versatility. Not the new Rogue Hiker Mid GTX boots. Forget the pavement - these are smart hiking boots with plenty of extras which will help us carry heavier packs on real trails. Mid-length ankle collars provide more ankle support than usual at Merrells and the stone plate underfoot provides additional stability and support when hiking. Waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX lining allows us to hike comfortably in wet weather and Vibram Megagrip outsoles provide incredible traction in dry and wet conditions for four seasons. At the same time, they combine the fit of the Agility Peak trail running shoe which makes them comfortable and lightweight. These hiking boots are new for 2023 will certainly attract the attention of some tourists.
