Merrell Perimeter GTX Backpacking Boot
Product Description
From Backcountry:
Stomp into the Merrell Men's Perimeter Gore-Tex Boot to backpack the Pacific Northwest. Hit the trail in confidence knowing the Gore-Tex gaskets keep water completely out so you don't show up to camp with soggy feet. Silicone-molded upper sidewalls protect your ankles and provide bomber support on long days. An air-cushion midsole and antimicrobial footbed fight fatigue and odor, and a Vibram sole grips every which way but up.

My ReviewI love the sole, very sticky and roles over sharp rocks and rough ground. Some people have commented about breaking lugs. This has not been a problem for me.
This boot actually has a double tongue. The first tongue is a breathable weave, containing the GorTex membrane. The second is a thick tough leather that improves the durability, keeps the boots shape, and offers great protection from brush, undergrowth, and dead-fall. Love this feature
I've had this boot for six months, and covered exceptionally rugged country, breaking trails in dinosaur monument's rocky canyons, packing the Grand Canyon, countless day hikes, multiple twenty milers in the uintas, and completing a 120 mile pack/summit trip across the uinta mountain range on the highline trail. I love them more each time i put them on.
