Why We Like The Merrell Rogue Hiker Mid GTX Boot
Most Merrells are known for their sidewalk-to-summit versatility. Not the new Rogue Hiker Mid GTX Boot. Forget the sidewalk— this is a tricked-out backpacking boot with plenty of extras to help us carry heavier packs on true trails. The mid-cut ankle collars provide more ankle support than Merrells typically do with a rock plate underfoot for added stability and support for backpacking. The waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX lining lets us hike comfortably in wet weather while the Vibram Megagrip outsoles have terrific traction in dry and wet conditions for four-season performance. At the same time, it incorporates the fit of the Agility Peak trail running shoe to keep things comfortable and lighter. New for 2023, this backpacking boot is sure to turn some heads on the trail.

As close to perfect as you can get with a hybrid
These have great ankle support for most scenarios but it wouldn’t be enough for serious distance full backpacking - for everything else though this boot is a winner. I really like the locking lacing hardware and how well it keeps me laced in exactly where I wanted. These first few outings with the boots have been 4-5 hour non-technical hikes, and no issues at all. I haven’t worn them in very wet areas and weather yet, but my other Merrell Gore-Tex have always lived up to expectations. There have been some very sandy and dusty trails and the bellows gussets kept that grit from making its way into my shoes and socks which is often a big frustration point for me with other shoes. The tread on these is very aggressive and kept up with scrambles over both loose sediment, mossy boulders, and damp leaf-litter covered flatrock. I got these in the bright orange because the sale price was unbeatable at the time and I didn’t care what they looked like, but I have to say - I have had SO many people stop me on the trail to ask about them because they liked the unique colouring, so good job on that I guess! If these had the tiniest bit more torsional rigidity for ankle support, these would be my all-time perfect for everything boot, and I will definitely be looking at them again down the road after these wear out.

Rugged
This is the 3rd pair of Merrell hiking boots I have bought over the years. The other 2 pair were for light hiking, and did great. I bought the Rogue boots for a 6 day hike in the Cotswolds, UK. I have been breaking in the boots in preparation for my “big” hike. They have done great on steep and rooty mountain trails. No blisters or pinching. They feel great!! I definitely recommend these boots!!!

Love your feet, invest in good shoes
I just did 280km in 7 days, in my Rogue Hikers. They are wonderfully light and supported my feet. It did not keep the rain out, after walking for 9 hours in non-stop rain. But, I think no Cortex could keep feet dry for that amount of hours. I did 55km on one day, and I do not think it would have been possible with different shoes. It was great for walking on dirt and rock, and the grip was great even in the rain.

Keeps your feet dry
I have worn Merrells for years now and this year I decided to try the Rogue Hiker Mids. I have worn them on about 4 big hikes so far and they are very comfortable and offer great ankle support. They have kept my feet dry in the rain and have had to walk through some puddles and creeks.

Fabulous boots minus the shoelace clips
Attractive boots with excellent quality ecxept the shoelace clips catch and are a tripping hazard. I put duct tape over them and that seems to help but not really happy about it. I am hiking the Grand Canyon rim to rim and do not want to worry about knocking my teeth out or falling on that trail.

Better for Rock surfaces not dirt
These boots are light weight when you put them on BUT the cleats are SO deep that the mud and dirt collects in them. By the time I was done with my hike I would say that my feet weighed about 5 lbs more then when I started out. Once I took the boots off it was a pain trying to get the mud out of all the cleats. Mind you I have wore these twice once in dry conditions walking in the woods over dirt and leaves and once after a light rain. They collected mass amounts of debris both times. I have enjoyed all my Merrell shoes and boots I have bought over the years but these aren’t what I was expecting.

Exquisite choice
Wonderfully comfortable and stylish. Almost perfect for hunting. Wish the boot was a bit taller not to gather some of the brush from the weeds

Comfy & Warm!
Fantastic! Purchased-Dec. 2023 and have been on a few hikes. They are So comfy, with amazing ankle support & super warm! Was able to walk thru streams with no water leakage. I am hoping they are not too warm for my summer hikes. When wearing ski pants that cover the top half of the boot, the laces come undone so I now have to double tie a knot in the laces.

Awesome hiking boots.
I took my new Rogue Hiker Mid Gore-tex to the Grand Tetons. They are fabulous! I bought both colours! I climbed rough terrain with no slips or falls!
