Remember to size up with merrells.
Ive just bought a pair of Merrell Capra as my TNF Hedgehogs gave up after only 6 months so I thought I'd jump ship.
The only negative I can find with Merrells is that there are a lot of people saying they are definitely not waterproof despite being Goretex etc.

did you complain to TNF about the hedgehogs? I've just bought a pair on the recent zalando deal, not worn them yet but they don't look like they're made very well.

Agreed on the sizing up, I normally take a size 9 but in Merrells always buy a size 10 and they fit perfectly, not sure why they always seem to be a size out ?

i must admit i love merrells but would have to say on pairs ive bought recently at low prices don't seem as good quality as before, and i find that most pairs i have are slippy on wet floors

Thanks

Despite me jumping ship from The North Face, I had a pair of TNF Hedgehogs for 5 years and loved them. I then bought the newer TNF Hedgehogs with the gum rubbers which are a huge let down on my last pair and I have returned them after 6 months as the glue is separating from the rubber but they are extremely waterproof.
I would in that case try The North Face Hedgehog Fastpack Gore-tex , I should have bought these firstly as they are more like my original 5 year old pair.
If your in no rush you can find them for about £60.

I'm looking for another pair of mids, something like the Moab but I dont want or need the goretex. I bought a pair a couple of years ago for £40 from Gooutdoors and they did the job - I wanted something light for a trip To South America and, whilst they were nowhere as good as my Meindl's they were nice and light, comfy and my feet didn't get too hot.

These aren't Gore-tex but i have 2 pairs of Merrell gore-tex shoes and they have been good for waterproofness. From what I've read though the gore-tex is just upper membrane so sole needs to not let water in.
