Been working in them as a utility forester for a week now. Quick break in and great looks. Waterproof as advertised. Will buy this brand again.

Overall, very pleased with the boot. Fits great, good ankle support. I work in a plant nursery and needed a waterproof shoe. Put them to the test the first day,they are waterproof as described. Will change the insoles, a little stiff by the end of a nine hour day.

They took a couple days to break in, but are now my favorite boots .The waterproofing has held up well through a lot of rain, mud, and snow. I've worn them for everything from hiking to casual outfits at the office. More than one attractive and stylish woman in my office has said that she likes them, as has one gay guy. I'm not saying these boots will get you laid, I'm just saying they can certainly help.

Work boots vary greatly in size, that's why I mentioned it.

I was looking for a pair of work boots that were comfortable, waterproof and lightweight.  I found them.

I work in construction, so I'm on my feet most of the day. I've only worn these boots for 1 shift (10 hours, out in the elements), but I love them already.

- They were definitely waterproof.
- They didn't need a break-in period at all - comfortable right out of the box.
- They provide great arch and ankle support.

The only question left is how long will they last.  I'll check back in if they don't hold up.

**update**

Still going strong 1.5 years later.

**update 2/16/18**

I can't get rid of these boots, even though they stink to high heaven (a wash in the machine helps briefly, but that's the case for all old shoes).

On the bright side, they're still water-proof and still comfortable. I bought another pair when I saw a great deal on amazon, but I refuse to wear them until something gives out on the originals. Strong odor be damned. They're work boots for me, after all.

Very nice waterproof boot.  I wasn't sure what to expect with the look but considering it is rain gear, it actually looks stylish and not a clunky rain boot.  I did have to break in the boot at the top as it rubbed on my lower shin, towards my foot.  Once I messed with it and stretched it a bit, no more issues.  Would highly recommend.  And the best part, way less expensive than Hunter rain boots and imo, just as durable and nice.

Only had them a short time but they fit great and are breaking in fine. I did go ahead and spray them down with waterproofing and they look great! Would most certainly buy another pair.

Great boot. I haven't had the chance to test these in the rain yet as the weather has been somewhat cooperating this season but I will update the review when I splash around in some puddles soon.

Great show. Only had a couple weeks. Wore straight out of the box, no break in period. Appear to be well constructed. Look great.

These are my first pair of Merrell shoes. I've had them for just about one week now and have worn them indoors & outdoors in mostly 40-65 degree weather, with and without rain. Length of exposure has probably been no more than 15 minutes outside at a time. I have not yet taken them hiking.
Sizing: I almost always wear a size 8 in any New Balance shoes. I initially ordered these in an 8 and was quite surprised at how large they were. I returned those for a 7.5 which seem to be within the right zone. If this was an in-store purchase, I would have also checked out the size 7, just in case. Food for thought if you're a new customer to Merrell.
Function: These shoes seem to have incredible grip just walking around. They are definitely waterproof. We had a heck of a storm a few nights ago and I found a puddle that was probably a good 2-3" deep and my feet were still bone dry on the other side. As for durability, only time will tell, but they seem to be well made. I particularly like how wide the lacing pattern is on top of the shoe. This results in a much more secure fit and increased comfort. They are also fairly lightweight, especially for a waterproof shoe. I was impressed when I first held them.
Final thoughts: I would purchase these again. They have become my go-to shoe for general activities.

Great boot. Waterproof. Comfortable. Sole is tough enough for shovel work. Hoses off clean. Fit is true to athletic shoe sizing. Well constructed with a tough pull tab. Just above ankle height is perfect. Toe and mid foot will break in somewhat.

Only improvements would be a better insole with arch support and available half sizing.

Comfortable and withstands heavy use! Look great, but took some time to break in.

I find the leather to be premium grade and the soles are rock solid. I wear a firm arch support which fits easily. I was thinking at point of sale that I would cross purpose the boot for carpentry work but I think they are best suited for hiking and outdoor activity. I typically chose 4e width and wasn't worried about a 2e boot. They are snug just before the toe box and after the first week they seem to be breaking in. The leather is thick and rigid quick is excellent but it will take some time. I need to pick up some leather treatment to help the break in and protection. Very pleased with the boots

These boots are very comfortable and only took a few days to break in. They are very light and feel very durable. My only complaint is that the waterproofing is quite poor. These boots are still great and I would recommend them since I most likely just got a pair with poor waterproofing applied. For the price, I can't complain.

Another note: They do seem to run a little bit smaller, so I'd suggest trying them on in person first if you can.

After a breaking in period my husband loves his new work boots.  They are heavy duty, water and oil proof and they look great.

I wanted a nice pair of boots, waterproof, that looked good also AND weren't too heavy.  So far, these seem to fit the bill!  Look extremely nice, lightweight, comfortable, snug fit, and so far waterproof.  I would say they fit true to size.  At first felt like they might be too small, but now they fit nicely/snug!  We'll see what I think once the winter finally gets here.  The reason why I didn't give 5 stars is 2 fold:  One is they're a little difficult to get on..especially if you have a high instep.  The tongue is fixed to the inside of the boot; secondly is price.  I found the size I needed for a bit cheaper than the mid $200 range I've seen listed.

As an update..I give these boots 5 stars.  They do fit great...are warm..and waterproof.  They are very well constructed.  I like 'em!

2 year update:  Boots hold up extremely well.  Waterproof.  I deducted a star because having a very snowy, messy, winter,  I've been wearing these boots everyday.  My original comment of "difficult to get on" is ringing true.  These are sometimes a real pain in the (***) to get on.  They need some type of a tab or something you can pull on from the back to help them slip on.  Once on, they fit great!  A few days I've opted not to wear them just to save my fingers...
