Product Description

They're wet. They're cold. They squish whenever you take a step and they will make the easiest jobs into complete ordeals. They're wet socks! Do yourself, your co-workers, your boss and your loved ones a favor and protect yourself from the effects of wet socks by lacing up a pair of water-tight Merrell 53683 Men's Dark Brown Phaser Peak Waterproof Hikers.With the solid waterproof construction of these hiking boots, we guarantee that not a drop will slip in. First, there is the waterproof brown Nubuck leather uppers which is also comfortable and abrasion-resistant. If any drops get past that, they still need to contend with the inner waterproof membrane back with a polyester mesh lining. And just in case you're worried about water sneaking in though the cracks, the bellows tongue is also designed to be waterproof, giving moisture no point of entry.First-rate waterproofing isn't the only thing these Merrell hiking boots have going for them. The non-marking Vibram Phaser rubber outsoles provide excellent traction and because they are non-slip and oil-resistant, you'll be walking firmly on the slickest (or wettest) surfaces. Inside you'll find air cushion midsoles, and compression molded EVA footframes, which offer exceptional comfort and shock absorption. The 4.5mm anatomical footbeds and 6mm tapered nylon Grade 6 insoles work together to provide a perfect and comfortable fit. The asymmetrical bronze double lace hooks and Omni-Fit bronze loop system make sure that these hikers stay on firmly and safely.There are three things that must never enter a worksite: jugglers, great white sharks and wet socks. We're not sure how to avoid those first two, but when you lace up a pair of Merrell 53683 Men's Dark Brown Phaser Peak Waterproof Hiker boots you'll be saying goodbye to damp socks for a long, long time.Sizes Manufactured: 7-12,13,14,15

4.0 out of 5 stars These boots are very good, October 5, 2008

My son and I purchased these boots in 2005 and wore them everyday at the Boy Scout National Jamboree. They were kind of expensive but we needed waterproof boots to be worn everyday, all day at the Jamboree. They are extremely comfortable. Like the other reviewer, ours sat for a while in the basement and are worn only once or twice a year when needed for different scouting campouts and hikes. We got ours for just over $100 at the time. My son loves these boots and I also think they were a good investment. Over 3 years later and they still look great and are very comfortable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Waterproof, but not that warm, February 9, 2011

I've only had these for 3 days. I bought these in an emergency (snow storm) from a local shoe store, and paid way too much. Having worn only sneakers for the past several years, these boots took some getting used to.

Pros:
-Very stable. I think my knees aren't hurting as bad since I've been wearing them.
-Removable insole (accommodates my orthotic inserts
-Good at keeping feet dry through snow, slush, and puddles
-Don't make my feet look huge

Cons:
-Although waterproof, they're not really any warmer than my sneakers. Of course, they're not marketed as winter boots, so I'm not complaining so much as just giving a heads-up to others.
-Price: They're kind of pricey for glued-sole shoes. I'd have felt better about the price if the shoes were sewn.
-Condensation? After I wear these, when I take the insoles out to air the boots, I find water droplets inside the boot. My feet are dry, but the inside of the boot is not.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best hiker I have owned in a long time, July 15, 2009

I have owned two pairs of these boots and about to buy a third. I had to replace the first pair because the waterproofing stopped waterproofing after a couple of years this second pair is about the same. Other than that they have held up to moderate to heavy use and are one of the most comfortable boots once they are broke in. I'm buying my third as soon as I can a good deal.
