Radland Mid Waterproof Merrell Boot Review
[rating: 3/5]
Would I recommend to friend: Yes
Pros:
Very comfortable with no break in.
Sole has great traction, stuck to slick rock like glue
Price 110-140 is not bad
Looks, they are a good looking boot
Cons:
Not as waterproof as stated
Sole is separating from the boot after 1 year of HARD use
Story:
I used these boot for late fall, spring, and summer hikes. They were mainly worn in the slick rock of southern Utah. I wore good wicking socks with them, that seemed to really keep the moisture off of my feet (it was over 100 on several hikes)
I then used them on a Desert sheep hunt. Hiking on uneven, steep and rocky terrain. They handled this very well. They stuck to this terrain like glue. I would recommend them for hiking on slick rock where traction is vital.
I did have a broken toe during this hunt, and for some reason the boot just felt great to have on. They really gave me support and comfort.
I do think these are 1 season boot, not going to last multiple years of hard use.
What they could do better:
Better waterproofing
Figure out a way to keep the sole from separating.
