Looking for something between the two.
I’ve always had heavier hunting and hiking boots but have been wearing the Merrels more lately.
I really like the lighter weight, conforming sole and nimbleness of the Merrel.
What I don’t like is that my foot seems to slide around a lot. I’d also like something a little taller and waterproof.
The waterproofing is more for heavy dew and mud. Not stream crossings.
Usually wear 9.5 EE so a wide toe box would be nice.
ETA. Side hilling is where my foot seemed to slide around the most.
