I have worn Merrell All Out Blaze Mids exclusively for the past 4 years but did not quite like the changes that were made this year. I decided to try the Adidas GTX based solely on the Adidas name and the boots advertised merits. Fit is a huge factor for me and Adidas shoes have always worked well for me in the past. Right out of the box these boots felt amazing. Support is firm but not intrusive or uncomfortable. Although I had never used speed lasing before, and was a bit skeptical at first, I do not think I would consider another boot without them. Completely secure and convenient to use. To be honest, I have not tested its waterproofness, however based upon comfort, convenience and support this boot is a bargain and a winner.
