Go to shoes for solo fast paced hiking
Love these shoes so much, took them on a 7 mile hike (icehouse trailhead in CA) no complaints and all the traction i could need, did notice that when wet i would loose a little traction but on the trail they dry quick making them perform at there best when i needed them. Getting a second pair for the dry trails i go on, these are beautiful to casually wear.

Never buy shoes from Rack
I bought Trail running shoes (Solomon for $160) from REI in 2022, out over 175 miles on it, the shoes still going strong.
Bought these Merrel for $88 from Rack during Thanksgiving. And in 3 months, the front sole padding is compressed so much that I can’t even use it for office or casual walks around the office.
My friend told me Rack gets grade C shoes from manufacturers. No wonder they sell it at 1/2 price.
Also there is no way to return in 90 days.
Rack u lost a customer, going back to REI they refund fully even if u use the shoes for 3 months or 1 year if one gets their membership.

Nice Shoe
Nice light shoe. It's not soft and squishy like a thick Altra sole, it's a firmer sole if that's what your looking for. For the price it's a great shoe.

Thanks for the great rating!

Love the Shoe, Hard to Clean
Shoe is very comfortable, wore them in Sedona and the red rocks ruined them. Shoes are now orange and won't come clean. Also, they are not waterproof and even a little water made them quickly seep through.
