Merrell Outland Boot Update

I previously posted how much I loved the Merrell Outland boot. You can see the review here.

I just wanted to post an update on my last pair. I purchased them in April of 2010 and wore them for such treks as

› Cactus to Clouds San Jacinto, Palm Springs, CA: 17.5 Mi., 10,795’ Elev.
› Whitney Lone Pine , CA: 22 Mi., 14,505′ Elev.
› Grand Canyon Rim-Rim-Rim AZ: 44.5 Mi., 10,028′ Elev gain, Time: 14:53
› San Juan Wilderness Backpack Co: 57 Mi., 10,664 Elev gain, Time: 5 days

I just retired them with close to 700 miles on them. Unfortunately Merrell discontinued them (probably due to the length of time they last – other boots only last me about 200-300 miles).
