Found an upgrade to my merrill barefoot shoes - Mammut Ducan High GTX Shoes - Men's

I have been hiking in the latest version of Merrill barefoot hiking shoes for years but needed some more support for technical hikes. These boots are it, I still have the flexible walking feel but more support. The stability in the sole really helps in running down the granite steps of the sierras. I have only done an extended hike up to Nevada Falls from Yosemite valley and a backpack trip around Hetch Hetchy, and a 2k elevation hike up from Big Sur but it is looking very good. These are my new go to boots.
