How how you found the durability of these shoes?

Also, do they offer adequate protection from sticks and rocks?

Thanks, but I'm hoping there is someone out there that specifically wears a size 10 (US)

regarding the durability, I find them very good for trail shooes. They won't last 10 years like a pair of bombproof heavy leather boots, but I find that I get about 2000km out of a pair before the sole gets a little soft & start to feel the pointy rocks. I have had a couple of pairs show some small splits nears my little toe, but this was easily fixed with some seam-grip. I love these shoes, super comfortable (for me) & dry very fast when they get wet, good grip & lightweight. They do have mesh panels so the protection from sticks & rocks is average, but I try to look at where I am placing my feet....

Anyway...anyone out there who wears them in a size 10 (US) please let me know..

Cheers,

Chris

Just bought my first pair yesterday! 9.5US though sorry. Why are you so interested in the one size?

Absolutely loving the breathability :)

I bought some in the US last year as a spare pair & when I went to put them on last week I discovered I had bought size 10 rather than 10.5 They are just a little too tight for long walks so I am looking for a home for them.

Anyone ???

I have a pair (us12) had them about 12 months now.They have to be the best shoe I've ever had , great grip and cushioning, but i do mainly trail walks and I use them for everyday roadwalking for exercise.

I would recommend them !!

Yes, very annoying...with some brands you actually have to buy 1/2 bigger than your normal size. Buying online without trying first is a risky gamble. It happened to me with a pair of Merrell Trail Glove trail running shoes which I keep for casual wear. I should have bought a +1/2 size instead of my normal size. Maybe Merrell shoes need to be purchased that way?

I got some last year- the high not low but find them pretty warm. Anyone else find that? I was looking for cooler than full leather.

They are warm but not sweaty like GTX shoes tend to be, I find.

Actually this was just me being stupid.... :-( I have had many pairs of these shoes & I know perfectly well that I wear a 10.5...and I bought them in a store ! (not online) so no excuse for picking up the wrong size...

Anyway, they are still on offer ..... free to a good home. I just want to make sure that whoever I give them to actually wears them & just doesn't take them & put them on eBay.....

Cheers,

Chris

I must admit I am a Merrell Fan,
They are very comfortable, lite & most have vibram soles
I had 9 different pairs, all size 44, including a pair of Moab Mid Ventilators, 2 pairs were purchased on the internet.
Two weeks ago, Anaconda Launy had Merrell Intercepts on Special $199 down to $140,
So I purchased number 10, a pair of my usual size 44 & took them home.
When I tried them on they were too tight. In the end I required size 45,
