"These boots are incredible! Sturdy yet comfortable, and I enjoy wearing them all day. They’re waterproof and stylish, and no one believes the price I paid. A great buy!"

"I bought three pairs for my kids and me for a backpacking trip. At $50 per pair, these were fantastic. We had zero foot issues, and the ankle support was excellent. I highly recommend these for any hiking!"

"I was looking for support and flexibility, and these shoes have both. They fit perfectly right out of the box. I’ve had a pair before, and I loved them, so I knew I had to get these as well!"

"I've worn these boots for almost a year, and they are by far the most comfortable boots I've ever owned. I usually wear a size 9.5, but I ordered a size 10 to fit my inserts, and they fit perfectly. I do a lot of walking on my New York campus, and these boots handle everything from snow to gravel. My feet stay warm in winter and cool in summer, which is a big plus!"

"After taking these boots on several hikes and through all kinds of terrain, I've found them to be incredibly durable. I was initially worried about the sole's durability, but they’ve held up magnificently! I've even treated them with mink oil, which keeps them looking brand new. They're a fantastic value, and I got them at a great price!"

"I am very pleased with my purchase of these hikers. Living with rheumatoid arthritis makes finding comfortable shoes challenging, but these were perfectly wide. Right out of the box, they felt great, and even with thicker socks, they fit well. The insoles are comfortable, and I usually need to buy extra cushioning, but I don’t think I’ll need to for a while. After wearing them for a few hours, my feet felt good, which is rare for me. I will definitely buy the Nortiv 8 brand again if they continue to offer them in this extra wide width. If you're in the market for extra wide hikers, I recommend giving these a try. Happy Trails!"

"I was skeptical about these boots at first, but after doing some research, I took a chance on them. They fit me perfectly and are extremely comfortable.

Overall, they’re not just a great value, but an excellent boot!"

"I’ve used these boots on several minor hikes and even in the snow. They performed well through various terrains without showing much wear. They kept my feet warm in the cold and comfortable in the heat. For the price I paid, around $50, they're definitely worth it. My only suggestion would be to invest in new insoles for added comfort on longer treks."

"I bought these boots for my job as a landscaper. They are incredibly comfortable and provide excellent support for long days outside.

The traction is superb, ensuring a steady grip with every step. Overall, these boots are a fantastic choice for outdoor enthusiasts!"

"I got these Timberland boots for my son’s trip to Iceland, and they were perfect! He had a great experience hiking rough terrains and crossing streams in various weather conditions.

"I waited a bit before reviewing to properly test these boots. They are the most comfortable hiking boots I’ve owned!

"It's hard for me to find a comfortable 13 wide boot suitable for hiking and hunting. These were very comfortable out of the box, and they held up well while hiking deep in the woods. I went through a lot of tall wet grass, and my socks were bone dry when I got home. I'm very happy with the boots so far."

"I've been wearing Merrell hiking shoes and boots for many years and have been quite happy with them.

I've put a lot of miles on them, and they are holding up well."

"I've been a Keen enthusiast for 16 years. Their customer service is exceptional; they replaced my faulty boots without hesitation. The Targhee III's are my go-to, comfortable for daily wear and hikes. They have a relaxed feel, are lightweight, and provide excellent grip."

"After nearly a year of use, I can say these boots are excellent. They fit perfectly and are extremely comfortable. I recommend ordering one size larger than usual. My Keen boots are perfect for my long hours on my feet at work."

"I bought these boots for daily hikes and they didn't disappoint. They fit my wide toe box perfectly and kept my feet dry during wet hikes. However, I noticed my first pair from a local store showed signs of wear faster than the ones I got from Amazon."

"I recently moved to Alaska and needed a shoe that could handle dirt, ice, and snow. These have been perfect! They are very waterproof and provide enough warmth, although I switched to a fur insole for winter. However, I did find the laces a bit annoying as they kept untying, so I replaced them with a speed lace. I usually wear a size 10 but went up to 10.5 based on reviews, and they fit perfectly."

"I ordered these hiking shoes for my upcoming elk hunt in Colorado. They arrived quickly and were nicely packaged. I usually wear size 14, and I took the risk to buy that size.

They are comfortable, lightweight, and provided good support during my activities, including a fishing trip where my feet stayed completely dry!"

"My job requires me to walk on various terrains for at least 5 miles a day, and I've gone through several pairs of shoes over the years. So far, these shoes show no signs of wear, which is unusual for my labor-intensive job. The material is excellent, offering great support and stability. I'm now recommending Salomon shoes to my colleagues and will definitely buy another pair!"

“I ordered the Merrell Moab 3 mid in 11.5 wide. The fit was fine, but when I wore thicker socks, it felt a bit snug. Switching to 12 wide worked perfectly, giving me extra toe room for thicker socks in the fall and winter. The sole is slightly firmer than expected, but I hope it softens with use. Overall, I'm very happy with the price just above $100.”

“Initially hesitant due to a previous pair of low Merrells that weren't comfortable or waterproof, I finally decided to try these. They come in wide width and received high ratings. They were comfortable right out of the box, keeping my feet dry even in wet grass. I wore them on a hike, and they provided good traction and protection. I believe they offer great durability for the price.”

“I’ve had these boots for a while, and they are probably the best shoes I've ever purchased. They perform well in various weather conditions — rain, snow, hot summers, and muddy days. I appreciate their waterproof nature while still allowing breathability. I've been considering buying a second pair because they have held up so well for my outdoor activities.”

"As a woman with big feet, I find it challenging to find boots that fit well. I've been a fan of Merrell Moab Ventilators for over a decade. I opt for men's sizes, which fit comfortably. I love that these boots are water-resistant and dry quickly. On my long trek on the Camino de Santiago, they surpassed my expectations. They were breathable and provided excellent traction, even in tough conditions. I'm glad I chose these for rugged use."

"I'm always satisfied with Merrell products. These boots felt great right away, almost custom-made for my wide, flat feet. I walk 2-4 miles daily, and they hold up well, providing good ankle support without being too bulky. The waterproofing is excellent, especially in wet Michigan springs. I've tried several other brands but find myself sticking with Merrell for their consistent quality."

"I use these boots daily as a mechanic, dealing with grease and grime. They’re the most comfortable boots I've found, and they keep my feet warm. Over the past five years, I've bought several pairs without any manufacturing issues. The wide option allows for a comfortable fit with my inserts. I can confidently say that these boots are a great choice for anyone looking for comfort."
