    Looks a bit like you could hide them under a suit… You know tactically.

    Does this boot run large, small or true to size? Does it run narrow or wide?

      More for hiking than running.

      I'm interested in finding out too, need wide shoes for my feet.

    • xaykogeki on 21/05/2025 - 21:45

      Had a check in the catalog. It seems like if it's wide, it would say so in the product title. For example, "Merrell Moab 3 Mid GTX Mens Wide Hiking Boots - Walnut - 10".

      • stuntman on 21/05/2025 - 21:49

        Thanks, I never tried merrell so no idea whether their standard width is closer to Nike than salomon.

          It sucks that we can't select the width in the same way that we do length.

      Hey mate, these boots run true to size based on customer and employee feedback. They are slightly wider than normal width but not quite a 2E.

      Real operators don't let their supply chain know they need new kit. Behold, cheap hiking boots for tier 1 gigs.

    • UFO on 21/05/2025 - 23:40

      Rent-a-cop's have to buy their own kit… and putting "tactical" on the label is an instant sell. Tactical Torch, Tactical Keyring, Tactical Radio Pouch etc etc

      • tenpercent on 22/05/2025 - 07:15

        That sounds like a tactical strategic marketing decision

      Security staff.

      Too many dodgy companies in the industry who provide only a company shirt if you're lucky.

      This is a good price for Merrell shoes, but I do prefer the Moab 2 tactical boots with the side zip. They don't go this cheap though and can't get the Moab 2's anymore anyways, as they were superceded by the Moab 3's which are far inferior (Moab 3 uses plastic eyelets for securing the laces on the front, the Moab 2's used metal ones. The one pair of Moab 3's I purchased lasted a couple of months before 2 of these plastic eyelets broke apart, where my Moab 2's are still going strong after a number of years).

    I wear 13 in ASICS. 14 in Merrell. So I think they run a little small. Maybe half size. Good shoes.

    • kiitos on 21/05/2025 - 22:44

      Do you only wear them hiking, or do they look ok for day to day?

      • meds80 on 22/05/2025 - 13:15

        I own other Merrells, so can't comment. I was more commenting on the brand in general.

    • edgysimmer on 22/05/2025 - 08:50

      Same here. It's cheaper than getting my existing boots mended.

  • placard on 21/05/2025 - 22:29

    Is this a better brand than Colombia hiking shoes?

    • FLICKIT on 21/05/2025 - 22:45

      They both make varying grades of boots so it's hard to compare them brand to brand…

      I've had a couple of pairs of Merrell shoes/boots and I have no complaints with them, probably the comfiest footwear I've ever had, with no wear-in period…

      • MrMarket on 22/05/2025 - 09:57
        +2

        Merrell maybe 10 years back are really high quality shoes and they are not cheap 150-200+ even on sale,
        I hike and had a lot of their shoes 15-20 years ago and they are top quality and last a long time

        the one I got recently in the last 5-10 years are rubbish and the price usually a leading indicator it wont last
        so this brand is off my buy list

        • Hangryuman on 22/05/2025 - 11:29
          +1

          yes - beware of famous high-quality brands with new management who seek higher profits by cutting the quality to rubbish

  • ntt on 21/05/2025 - 22:30

    a bit silly to ask, but are those boots good for climbing and walking on the roof?

    • mr fox on 21/05/2025 - 23:15
      +4

      Best for hiding on the roof, in a tactical fashion.

      • ntt on 22/05/2025 - 01:00

        hiding or hiking?

    • Whatisthatvelvet on 22/05/2025 - 04:25
      +2

      Can't go past Dunlop volleys or similar rubber sole shoes for the roof.
      Not sure about hiking though

      • ntt on 22/05/2025 - 09:37

    • jinkerjinx on 22/05/2025 - 08:16
      +2

      i'm prob wrong but i'd guess a flat flexible rubber sole are preferred for roofing.. more surface area.. more grip.. softer to not damage roof as much.
      something styled like converse low-tops.. or maybe even something people wear when sailing.

      (edit.. just saw the dunlop volley recommendation.. yeh that makes sense)

  • Seajoemama on 21/05/2025 - 22:41

    For a hiking boot, that is as ugly as it can get.

    They look like something Neo from The Matrix would wear

    • heatseeker424 on 21/05/2025 - 23:36

      I don't think they're that bad. Besides, kookaburras are the only things laughing about fashion on the trail.

    • KnifeEnthusiastBoi on 21/05/2025 - 23:41
      +2

      the only thing that would be looking at this boot is the face of your vanquished enemy, so I'd say its appropriate.

    • AssociatedWEstaff @ Wild Earth on 22/05/2025 - 12:02

      But Neo looks good though?

    • Ulysses31 on 22/05/2025 - 16:07

      First I've heard of hiking and fashion needing to coexist.

  • trishmapow on 21/05/2025 - 23:37

    No weight info - how would these compare to runners for everyday usage when raining?

    • FLICKIT on 21/05/2025 - 23:48
      +1

      Weight varies so much with size, like size-15 is probably double the weight of size-5… Some companies list weights for a single size but that's not much use for all the other sizes…

      In my experience Merrell is relatively light for what they are, but these have a reasonable amount of leather so they're likely to be on the heavy side compared to all-synthetic runners, but light compared to an all leather hiking boot, lol…

  • swampson on 21/05/2025 - 23:59

    i'm so paranoid about buying shoes online.
    Recently i got 10.5 UK (converts to 11 US apparently) Hush puppies on an OzB offer, and they are just slightly too big.
    But i bought 11.5 US sneakers from a shop and they are a perfect fit.
    No faith what size will be suitable.

    • cashless on 22/05/2025 - 09:47

      Certainly wouldn't rely on the size guide given on their webpage.
      It says that AU Men's = US Men's

      • swampson on 22/05/2025 - 10:32

        yeah that doesnt help for sure - i guess i will have to pass on these :( Cant afford the risk of getting the wrong ones, that should have been the right ones!!

    • rando88 on 22/05/2025 - 14:43

    The issue with this seller is that if the size is incorrect, the buyer is responsible for the return shipping costs.

    • AssociatedWEstaff @ Wild Earth on 22/05/2025 - 12:04

      That’s correct, if the size is incorrect, the buyer is responsible for return shipping costs. However, we do offer a subsidised returns option through our website to help reduce the cost. You can find more details and access the service here:

      • FLICKIT on 22/05/2025 - 14:00

        Hey, I placed an order for size US13 last night, I've just realized my current Merrell US13's are a little on the big size and I've been using a thick insole to get a better fit, so it's probably wise to get size US12 for this pair…

        I sent an email to your 'service' email address asking if I can change the size, is this likely to be an issue? (they haven't shipped yet)

    • eltito on 22/05/2025 - 13:10

      Yeah, this stopped me from looking at making a purchase yesterday (when the deal was posted).

      I looked up the returns policy (as depending on brand, I am either US10,10.5 or even 11) and unfortunately, it wasn't worth attempting to get the right size noting the policy. No biggie though - I'll keep a look out on other hiking boot deals.

    • AssociatedWEstaff @ Wild Earth on 22/05/2025 - 12:06

      Your on the right track, when boots include a waterproofing layer it takes away breathability.

  • Hangryuman on 22/05/2025 - 11:38

    dunno these I've never tried - but advice from a friend was Keens Newport sandals - https://keenfootwear.com.au/collections/the-newport - I've been wearing almost every day for years now

    they retail up to $220 or so, $100 here - https://www.wildfiresports.com.au/keen-newport-h2-mens-sanda… - I have two pairs in different colour patterns, e.g. https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005005940557802.html

    waterproof for hiking through streams and wet stuff, but comfortable for everyday walking - comfortable all day - good grip soles that don't wear to smooth and slippery like cheaper soles - and resilient soles that don't compress to hard and less comfortable like cheaper shoes (Skechers) - I now find I'm wearing only these Keens sandal on overseas travels - no socks in warmer weather, with socks in 3C cold windy days. Waterproof in the rain - if they get muddy, rinse under a tap, and let them dry.

    and if you take off your shoes on entering people's homes, a simple slip-on backstrap makes that easier..

  • raybies on 22/05/2025 - 12:07

    I nearly purchased these, until I noticed the Vibram soles.
    I've previously owned two high-end hiking boots, each costing over $500 (even after discounts), both equipped with Vibram soles. Both pairs failed catastrophically. One Swiss-made pair literally disintegrated en route to Mt. Everest.
    Here's the evidence: https://i.ibb.co/CpjSjptY/20160525-121025.jpg

    They call it Hydrolysis and Vibram are the ONLY ones I have owned which experienced this.

    • mrjames on 22/05/2025 - 16:04

      how old and how many days usage approx did it have when this happened? Surely that's some sort of bad batch or a shoe which has been absolutely flogged.

      • raybies on 22/05/2025 - 16:12

        < 200hrs on my feet.
        I know it's supposedly due to not using them "enough" but I have 12yr "fake" Nikes that I hardly wear and they haven't disintegrate.

  • Nixon2142 on 22/05/2025 - 12:30

    I wear Asics GT-2000 US 12 2E (wide) and I went in to try on the US 12 size and I found the toe box to be slightly too snug. Not uncomfortably so, but I suspect it to be quite sore after a few kms. The US13 was slightly better on the toe box, but too long. Not for me!
