Review of Merrell Shoes Men's Jungle Moc Shoe

I have terribly bad feet, ankles, and legs, and a severely deteriorated spine at L4-L5. I also use a cane at all times. These shoes, from Merrell, are just the best thing since sliced bread!! Supportive, Solidly Constructed from Quality Materials, Rubber Soles (yea!) that stay soft and "grippy", not like the "plastic stuff" used by others!! Never Slip, Always Grip, even when wet and on tile floors. They fit and have a comfort level of slippers! How Great is That!? Softly, yet firmly... Read Full Story

Asolo Fugitive GTX Hiking Boots

From:  sectionhiker.com
It never ceases to amaze me just how popular Asolo Boots are in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. I’d say that 75% of the 3 season boots that people wear up here are Asolos, evenly split between the leather TPS 520 GV and the Fugitive GTX , shown above. That from a company, that as far as I can tell, markets purely by word of mouth in the United States. I own both of these boots and am on my third or fourth pair of leather ones at the moment. I bought the Fugitives and a pair of... Read Full Story

Asolo Flame GTX Hiking Boots

From:  sectionhiker.com
Hiking in wet leather boots, up and down mountains, for days on end, really sucks. Really. That’s what happened to me on my last big trip through the 100 mile wilderness . So when I got back from Maine, I vowed to renew my quest to find a non-leather boot that dries quickly and but still gives me the feel of a leather boot. I’ve tried a number of lighter weight boots this year including the Inov-8 Roclite 370 Trail Boot but it didn’t have a stiff enough last to support my foot, even when... Read Full Story
