I didn’t use to think there was a perfect hiking boot out there. Some I’ve found are designed for the snow, others are made to tackle rough terrain, and some are only suitable for an easy summer day hike. But, as an avid, year-round hiker, I really needed a hiking boot that could do it all—regardless of the weather or terrain. I’m proud to say I finally found a boot that’s up for the task: the Alverstone Mid Waterproof hiking boots from Merrell.
I can attest that there’s nothing worse than having soggy feet during a hike, whether it be from sweat or rain, but that’s not an issue with these boots. They’re waterproof, so your feet stay nice and dry during wet or snowy hikes, but they also have a breathable mesh lining that keeps your feet cool and dry on hot summer days. And for those of us that have been cursed with extra sweaty feet, the inner lining in these boots is engineered to reduce odor.
