Merrell Moab Ventilator

With the weather turning warm it is time to unpack your summer hiking gear and hit the trails.

You may notice your old boots are looking a little tattered, or that they don't seem to fit anymore, which means it may be time to treat yourself to a new pair.

If it has been a few years, or decades, since your last hiking-shoe purchase. Let me fill you in on the best of the best footwear made today.


First, lets think about what you want your hiking shoe to do.

It is starting to warm up, and even though it may be a little wet this summer, you need a shoe that will let your feet breath to reduce the occurrence of sweaty feet and chaffing, unlike most waterproof boots that keep the water out and sweat in.

Along with ventilation, you need a shoe that offers comfort, support and a durable sole that will protect your feet, while providing reliable traction on a range of surfaces.

If what I have just described is exactly what you are looking for in a hiking shoe, then the Merrell Men's Moab Ventilator is what you need.

Merrell is one of today's top brands in footwear, from hiking and trail-running to casual shoes. Their success is partially due to their partnership with Vibram, who makes some of the best rubber soles available.

Whether you prefer a low or mid height boot, Getzs has you covered, including your ankles.

So treat yourself to a new pair of Merrell boots to keep your dogs from barking on the next adventure.

Now get outside and enjoy this new season!
