Excellent budget hiking shoe - Merrell Moab 2 Mid Waterproof Boots - Men's

I recently wore this pair for Guadalupe Mtn Peak summit (GUMO), McKittrick Ridge (GUMO), Big Bend South Rim, and few other trails at Big Bend. I logged about 75 miles in span of 5 days. It kept my feet dry during creek crossing and saved my ankles number of times by its mid height which provided adequate ankle support. After all 75 miles in the gravel and dirt trails, the tread still looks new. Best of all its EE width saved my pinky toes being crushed each day. I had my back up Mammut boots just in case which sat in my trunk for whole week. I will likely wear this for my upcoming Lone Star Trail.
