Merrell Men's Geomorch Blaze Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots - Boulder, Dark Earth/Espresso, Granite

Here is the Merrell Men's Geomorch Blaze Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots - Regular. The upper of this hiking boot is made of nubuck and suede leather of mid height and are supple and lightweight, supposedly durable. The Strobel construction provides flexibility and comfort. The mesh linings are polyester.

The membranes are seam-sealed to keep out external elements and the breathability is maintained. The debris are kept out by having bellowed tongues. The midsoles are EVA, thus giving good, comfortable cushioning. Air Cushion heel pockets provide shock absorption at the heels. Further benefiting the hiker is the injection-molded nylon arch shanks, that stabilize and support the hiker's feet as he (this is men's shoe) walks over uneven terrain. This is a key attribute of a good hiking shoe.

Vibram® outsoles with sticky rubber and deep 6mm lugs further contribute to stability and traction on unpredictable and changing terrain, ensuring a comfortable walk for the wearer, may be a hiker. The overall comfort provided by this shoe should serve well anywhere, from urban streets to mountainous terrains to wet jungle terrains, being waterproof. Should also serve well on rainy days, as a wet pair of feet under a pair of wet shoes is never comfortable.

Those were at least the basic features of the hiking boots by Merrell. There are no written reviews just yet as this is a new pair of shoe. Here are the pictures for the shoes in Boulder, Dark Earth/Espresso, Granite, respectively.



The availability of sizes for each model are limited, where only the typical 7 - 15 D(M) range available throughout except for the Granite, of which the smallest is 7.5 D(M). Reviews provided at Peltz.com suggests that this is a good pair, but other than that, there are hardly any reviews just yet.

The standard price for this pair of hiking boot is $140.00. There are possible cheaper select options at Amazon.com, where the price may go down to as low as $115.82.  Here is the link to the product page.
