Men's Annex Trak Mid Boots
Product Details
Web ID: 4895263Comfortable but very poorly made where the upper meets the sole.
I bought this mid hiker for daily casual use in early February and by mid June it had split at the sole. These boots are very comfortable and lightweight making them a perfect choice for daily use, and personally I find them much more stylish than other hiking boots. I would use them maybe 3 or 4 days a week. I used them only twice on local trails and only when dry as I didn't want to get them dirty. I have other boots dedicated for wet weather and muddy trails. I have to say I was really disappointed that these boots didn't hold up as I have always felt Merrell was a quality brand that knew how to make footwear that could withstand trails, nevermind daily casual use. I thought maybe these were a bad batch, but if you look at other reviews you will see many purchasers who have had the same experience with the sole separation. I notice a small amount of water ingress at the sole and two days later there was a 4" split. They fell apart quickly and with hardly any wear on the Vibram sole. I hope Merrell will fix this problem. They built their brand on making hiking boots that outlasted others.

The best allround boot for any need. Comfort, stability, durability
This was an excellent boot to go with if you want versatility. I'm using mine in a rugged dry dessert environment with some rainfall in the cold seasons. I needed the water proof to continue packing light, and not have to carry my daily wear and a water proof packed aside. This boot worked exceptionally well and much lighter than expected. It's a very flexible boot and gives me a lot of stability. Even when I have the laces worn loosely I still feel well planted. If you need something versatile, comfortable, flexible, light, and durable I really can't think of a better boot. 10/10 recommend.

Comfortable out the box
These shoes are the most comfortable Merrel’s I’ve had and that’s saying a lot. I don’t know about the durability yet since I’ve only had for a week. They provide great ankle support and look sharp. Great shoe so far!
Customer review from Merrell
These shoes are incredibly well built. Rugged and waterproof, they feel like they are going to last many years of use and abuse.
The Annex Trak Mid Waterproof is a great shoe. They are surprisingly light, despite being rugged and durable. They are completely waterproof, as advertised, and are as comfortable as you can expect from a nice pair of boots. I'll be using them mainly for snowy conditions, and so far they have held up astonishingly well. I highly recommend them.

Nice boot
I did a 7 mile hike yesterday for my first hike in em. The rubbery bottom of the boot made in were I was more hesitant from slipping on the rocks than before with my merrel hiking shoes. The heels on the boot are to tight and the toes on the boot.

Excellent product
Great all around daily wear boot. If you're used to wearing boots, these are a great find! Coming from shoes, they felt a little constricting at first, but two weeks in and they fit like a glove. Amazing craftsmanship in a very attractive package, well done.
Customer review from Merrell
Best pair yet.
I’m a believer in Merrell and I have several pairs of shoes and boots. These are by far the best I’ve owned. All day comfort out of the box. They feel rugged and should last a long time. I use them for riding boot on my Enduro motorcycles and my feet stay dry in light rain. Light rain on a bike is a lot of water thrown on your boots. I have not worn them in warm weather yet. I have other boots for that.
