So for my birthday my parents are buying me some new boots due to my current boots being 1.5 sizes too small. What do all of you Merrell (or other good boot) wearers use. Looking for some help as what are good good to boots for outdoors and airsoft. Thanks for the help. -Chubbs

I had a pair of Merrell Sawtooths until they ate shit on a hike after a long while of use. Good boots.
I currently wear Lowa Zephyrs. A little more on the pricey end but I love them as they're lightweight and allow me to move my feet quickly.
I'd suggest Salomon Quests as well. Several people here use them and I'm sure they could recommend them as well.

My everyday shoe is Merrell Geomorph Blaze Mid Waterproof. Great boot, but I don't play airsoft in it. For airsoft I wear Bates GX-8 GORE-TEX® Side Zip Boots. They are stupid light weight and comfortable. I've also stood in a puddle for a few minutes at Action Paintball, mid way up the boot, and didn't have a drop of water penetrate the boot.
It's a good idea to wear wool socks any time you wear a gore-tex boot by the way, it helps to wick your sweat out, so your feet stay way drier. I know it's counter intuitive, I had that trepidation when the guy at the store recommended I wear wool socks in the middle of summer, but it works!

I haven't played airsoft in my Merrell's yet. They are really comfortable though. I have Merrell Moab Peak Ventilators. Got them on sale too, which is always nice.

Ended up ordering Merrell Moab Ventilators Mid. It's nice having family that works for Merrell, gotta love discounts!
