Barefoot Comfort and Zero Drop but with more Prote
These are zero drop with a wide toes box. The thickness of the sole does provide more protection against sharp stones than true barefoot shoes. These are a nice waterproof compromise between barefoot and lightweight traditional hiking shoes.

Disappointed
I really wanted to love these boots. After almost a year, almost daily hiking, I will say these are the best fitting, most comfortable boots I’ve ever owned. Chronic foot pain is no more. However, the fatal flaw is the use of fabric eyelets. I now have 3 broken ones. They are too weak for the continued stress. So the only way I could continue to wear these is to punch holes in the shoes and hope for the best. I have always liked Merrill shoes and fell in love with these, until they started breaking. Oh, and they are not waterproof, at least not now. Perhaps I wore out the waterproofing but my feet have been soaked the last few days in fairly wet walking conditions for a couple of hours. These could be stellar hiking boots, but they aren’t.

Great shoe just needs a minor alteration
One of the better hiking boots that I have used. Really light and comfortable. Only issue I have is the last lace loop until the metal hook broke less than 80 miles of use. While I was not a fan of the none removable insole, the permanent one more comfortable than I thought. Recommend changing the last cloth laces loops for metal.

Awesome shoe
I loved my previous wrapt and I was happy to see that I could have some of the same features in a mid shoe. So far I am loving the minimalist feeling but with some added support of the shoe. The grip is great and having that mid protection and stability is awesome. I haven't worn it in inclement weather yet, but I have worn them multiple days in a bike shop walking the sales and maintenance floor and they are awesome.

So comfy
These boots were comfortable right out of the box. Handled the blizzards and snow with no problems. I appreciate the wide toe box. Happy urban hiking feet!

Slippery sole
The boots are very comfortable, the only bad thing is the sole are slippery.

Beautiful, comfortable and grippy, but too hot
Beautiful, comfortable and grippy, but too hot inside. It is the first time I buy waterproof boots, I knew they don't breath as good but I thought it was bearable. However, after a couple of minutes using them I was already feeling my feet too hot. I thought it was maybe a matter of getting used to them so I took them out for the day. Being outdoor help to cool of a bit but as soon as I got indoor I was feeling my feet begging for some fresh air. So, they might be great for winter and cold temperatures, but I wouldnt recommend them for weather above 14°C or for city life/indoor use/long hikes.
