Good boots (well so far!)

I think that these boots are awesome so far. I have yet to wear them in the snow, or where them anywhere really, but I am very impressed by the comfort and feel when I tried them on. The lining is SO WARM AND SNUGGLY and the size was just right. I am about an 8 and everyone was saying buy up, I am happy I didn't. The 8s were perfect!! I look forward to using them in the winter, as I live in a snowy state, so I think they'll be great! Sure, I won't be going on a long snowy hike in them, but I think they will do a great job! Very happy! :)

So far they look awesome. I have wide feet, and I wanted room for thick socks, so I sized up. Seeing other reviews, I checked to make sure the heel blocks were even, and they appear to be fine. Lining is nice, the faux fur is soft. I'll update after a few rain /snow wears.

I've been buying a new pair of hiking boots about every year.  Most have been nylon/manmade fabrics with a bunch of stitching.  The usually do ok, but I wanted a nice pair of hiking/outdoor/backpacking boots.  After some research, I purchased these.  They had great reviews.

I bought these in early spring so I'd have enough time to break them in slowly.  Leather boots usually take a bit to conform to your feet; these aren't any different.  Out of the box, the boots are comfortable, appear well made, and a little stiff as expected.  The lining is sewn in and is smooth against the foot without a lot of extra bulk.

As far as fit; they're about a 1/4 size small, and about the same in width.  I did go with a half size bigger than normal.  So if you're in between sizes or have wide feet it might be something to think about (I also have wide feet).  They're not tight; but don't have a ton of extra room either.

After a couple days they're starting to fit me better.  I'm pleased with my purchase so far, and I'm expecting several years of use out of them.

Nice boot with real waterproofing. So far they are holding up nicely but haven't yet taken them on a real hike and don't wear them every day. There is an issue with the laces going into the top hooks very tightly as you have to pull them very hard to get them to fit in. I don't see this as a problem however since I believe this is a design built in so that the laces do not slip. Time will tell if the soul comes apart from the toe like my "hi techs" which fell apart within 4 months of every day use. So far so good however. The traction is nice and they seem to breath fairly well through the mesh vents at the top.

I haven't had the opportunity to test them on any rugged or steep trails, but they have been comfortable on walks around the neighborhood. So far they seem sturdy and well-constructed, as have all the Salomon products I have tried. A very good boot for the price.

The ground is very rocky where I work and I needed a pair of boots that could stand up to the terrain. So far, so good. As for fit and feel of the boot; the moment I tried them on they felt broken in and very comfortable. I'm on and off my feet all day so after 9 or 10 hours of walking back and forth, my feet didn't hurt, and no blisters. Great boots! I'd purchase them again.

These are not perfect--I had 2 problems. On the very first lacing-up, one of the metal loops at the top broke off. And, I wasn't even tightening the laces when it happened. Fortunately, I had some rivets, so I was able to fix this problem by riveting the metal loop back on the boot. The other problem was that I didn't like the insole "feel". Kind of pebbly or bumpy. So, I got some heavy felt inserts (about $4).  Now, I really like these boots. They are warm (in Wisconsin winter), fit well and feel nice, and they are durable. The sole doesn't show any wear, yet, and I've worn them a lot. I got the size I normally wear (9) and the fit is really good. For the money, these are great boots. Just don't expect perfect.

So far, so good.  This is my second pair of Kennetrek boots (the other are the uninsulated Mountain Extreme) and they are both solid boots.

Just put them on my boots.. been a day and they're good so far. Can't speak on how long they'll last but they're good so far!!

I really like these boots!  Forefoot and toe box are nice and roomy.  Ankle is snug and heel medium width.  Good arch support.  Just what I need!  If you have a narrow foot, the forefoot may be too wide.  I measure on-the-line at size 11 and generally prefer 11.5 wide, sometimes 12.  I ordered size 12, and the length seems a little short.  My toes don't bump going downhill due to the snug ankle, but there is not a lot of extra room.  Thick socks squeeze my forefoot, but with thinner socks, the fit is fine.  You may want to order up a size.

The leather and stitching are first rate.  The Vibram outer soles are very nice.  The inside of the boot is high quality.  I have not gotten them wet yet (it's summer), but I would be surprised if they leak.  I haven't put a lot of miles on them yet, but I doubt that longevity will be a problem.  You can wear them hiking out of the box; they feel even better with a little break-in.  I've worn or looked at a number of boots, some costing half again as much, and nothing comes even close to these fine boots!

Comfortable, easy to put on.  Seem to be reasonably waterproof.  Jury is still out on durability, but so far, they are doing well for inexpensive boots.

So far I have only worn these boots once, however I have to say they were a great buy! They fit well and will be comfortable once they have been broken in. Also, I did encounter a fair amount of mud and water on my short hike and they do seem to be waterproof as advertised.

I just got these in the mail; will update as I wear them and determine they are comfortable. I was really unsure whether to order these after reading all the reviews but mostly reviews are good regarding these boots. I'm not sure about the color Goose; kinda a cross between mossy green/ grey/brown. So far upon trying them on, they seem to fit nicely and are wide enough for problem feet so if you are looking for a wide shoe, these fit that need as far as I can tell. Soles seem very good for traction however no arch support which I think could have enhanced the boot's quality. Hopefully after trying them out around the house, they will turn out to be keepers. I am pleasantly surprised at how comfortable they are upon initially trying them on. Hope they work out! Ok, so I been wearing them around the house and figured out the right boot has a crease along the inside of zipper which you feel when you walk. I don't know if this is going to impact the comfort but as other reviews have stated, the quality control of Merril's needs improvement!! Could be a deal breaker when purchasing these...

I just got these boots so I am still breaking them in.
They are very nice looking boots and fairly comfortable so far.
I'm looking forward to getting them broke in and hopefully a bit more comfortable.

Love the boots so far. We usually wear them out before the season ends, hopefully these will make it.

So far so good. I have been breaking them in for 2 weeks and trying to get the right sock/lacing combination down. Definitely need to buy insoles as there is almost no cushioning on bottoms. All around the rest of the foot feels great.  I am new to the mountaineering boots, but an 11.5 in these is an 11 as far as I am concerned. So, yes I went a full size up from a 10.5, but my forefoot has enough room to move in these. Still getting used to them though. I expected just a little more for the price, but I didn't have an opportunity to try them on in a store, so, for "blindly" purchasing them online, I got what I expected overall.

Good boots, I've only worn them a handful of times now but they're alright in the comfort department.  I have one small issue with them and it's that one part of the boot, on my left foot, rubs slightly on my ankle bone.  I'm going to try to flex the leather there some where the shaft of the boot meets with the lower and see if I can get that to stop rubbing.  That's the only issue I've had, other than that they seem good.  I've wore them in the snow and dirt/mud already and they seem to hold up fairly well so far.  I'll update this if I fix the rubbing and also to post how they fare in heavier mud and water.

** Update, January 2018 **
I like these boots more and more every time I wear them.  They've been through a lot in the past year and still wear incredibly well. There are my go to work boot when I'm out in any weather.  I experience no more rubbing on my foot at all.
