Merrell Women's Salida Mid Hiking Boot,Brindle,8.5 M US Review

First of all, I love Merrells, so I fully expected to love this boot. When they arrived, I was a little nervous because I am not an avid hiker, and I was almost hyperventilating over spending this much money on a pair of boots that was probably not going to get a lot of use (I know...Merrells are expensive, but I'm a frugal gal, and expensive shoes need to be WORTH the $$$)...BUT my husband is taking me on a backpacking trip, so I needed something that was going to give me ankle support (since I managed to twist my ankle the last time we went hiking -without backpacks- in regular trail shoes on a similar trail). I digress... I was pleasantly surprised when they arrived. The color is a little more "grayish lavender" rather than the "pinkinsh-lilac" my monitor shows...but monitors are all different, so I am not complaining. It's still a nice color. I was really happy with the fit, although I did purposefully order a half size up since I had another pair of Merrel Mid boots (Chameleon Arc 2) that my size was too small for me. I wear a 9.5 and decided to order a 10 in the Salidas. Glad I did, they fit perfect with my thick hiking socks. They were so comfortable that I forgot I was wearing them and spent most of the day walking around my house in them. It is very nice to NOT have to break them in. I may still get a different insole, but I don't think I'd HAVE to since I don't have major foot issues. (If I had bought them for my daughter who has severely pronated feet, I would definitely replace the manufacturer insoles with better ones for extra arch support.) I can't wait to try them on the trail. I'll try to get back to update how they handle the terrain. Overall, great shoes.

UPDATE: After an overnight backpacking trip on a easy-moderate mountain trail (carrying ~20lb pack), I still love them, but I am definitely going to replace the manufacturer insoles with some good insoles. They were fine for walking around the house, and probably would do well on a flat paved/"maintained" trail, but even though my feet weren't sore, they would have been "happier" with a little extra support. I still loved them the 2nd day after we finished and even wore them to walk around a botanical garden for a couple hours on the way home from our hike...no problems. I can't comment on the waterproofing b/c we only crossed one very shallow/narrow stream, and I really didn't feel like "testing them out" on purpose. :-)
