Merrell heavy duty hiking boots. Size 8 US & AU, size 5.5-6 UK and size 39 EU. Black, with thick wide traction soles that offer a lot of grip while hiking, bouldering or doing any other outdoor physical activity. Quality construction that show little wear. There is a slight amount of ground in dirt from hiking on the sole tread that I will continue to try to wipe off to the best of my ability. But if you are going to use these boots for what they are made for, they are sure to get more than their share of dirt further ground into them. Heavy thick rubber soles with traction. Worn on maybe 2-3 serious hikes. The tread on the soles and the construction of the boots are in great condition. If you are looking to do some serious hiking, these are your shoes!
