>>1215290I would recommend the goretex Merrel Moab mid hikers.
Great vibram outsole and super lightweight and extremely breathable.
Its a proper hiker that feels like a sneaker,
no hotspots and I haven't experienced any foot fatigue on my few short 2-3 hour trail walks even in steep terrain.
They were fine for extreme wet in Aussie winter, but probably not ideal for extreme cold climates (at least not without very thick socks)
Mine still look new, but they've had moderate use over the last 2 years.
