I imagine the price will change the second I press submit, but for a now at least these are currently at quite a low price. Seems to be in both Walnut and Earth Brown in all sizes.
Not waterproof....but it's still summer so no rain for a while ;o)

They seem to bounce between this price and £55ish, but a good buy @ £46.75. I like Moabs
Are these as good as Salomons? I've had them in the past and they've been great!

Better with waterproof as it always rains here or is wet and muddy

I am from the school of Gore-Tex liners are sometimes more of a hassle. Especially on hotter days.
1. They're sweaty
2. Once water is in it's not coming out. So if your traversing a stream then you have to stop and then empty them.
3. They take ages to dry out if the above happens.
Obviously GTX has it's place, but more on winter boots.
Which ones? If we're talking the XA Pros or X Ultra 2s then I would say for build quality the Salomons probably are better, but then they are more expensive. And it's a minor thing, but Merrells come in fairly sensible colours, whereas Salmon's, the XAs at any rate, seem to come in the most lairy colours possible. But then some like that, so it's purely a personal opinion thing.

If you are actually thinking of doing hiking, you probably want the mid boot Moab's with shoes, you have no ankle support at all w/ shoes.
Stuff like twigs and stones can just fall into the gap between foot and shoe. Same with mid boot but much less when sliding down shale rocks and such.
