Wore these on a serious hike up Mt. Liamuiga in St. Kitts — volcanic terrain, steep elevation, uneven rocky trails all the way to the crater rim. The grip held up the entire climb and my feet stayed comfortable even on the long descent. The wide width fit is a game changer; no pinching or hot spots after hours on the trail. Waterproofing also came through when we hit wet patches near the top. Thes Sandy · merrell.com
