My Merrell hikers gave up the waterproof ghost around the toe region at the end of turkey season. I sprayed em with that waterproof stuff, but they ain’t coming back. So I’m in the market.
Not looking to spend a ton. It’s overwhelming when you start reading reviews online.
I like the hiker style/height.
Waterproofing a must.
Comfort out of the box is critical. I like a boot feels as much like an athletic shoe as possible. Long break-in don’t work for me.
What do y’all like?
I wear knee-high neoprenes when it’s real wet.

On the distance I like to walk to my stands:
