>>2647734if you haven't figured out by now most of this board is participating in a cargo cult of masculinity. they just want to dress up and play soldier in the forest.
>>2647621>I bought a pair of merrells because of this board. >waterproofnobody told you to buy the waterproof ones newfrien.
the only good merells are the non waterproof moabs, and only because they're the cheapest serviceable mesh/breathable style summer boot.
nobody ever said merells are good or to buy waterproof ones you lying faggot.
you fucked up and bought the wrong ones for the wrong purpose, own up to your mistake.
>>2647939this post is accurate.
i live in washington and the only time i need waterproof boots is deep in the swamp.
usually its rubber boots not hiking boots for that.
>>2648254>Besides what the fuck would a trial run in store do? Do I ask them where the swamp mossy log is?yes you do picrel.
you're supposed to try on hiking boots and trailrunners on an incline not with your foot flat, they have this in every store.

good boots start 200+ unless they're used or surplus. to make a boot cheaper you have to cut so many corners it becomes a sneaker dressed up to look like a boot.
