I’ve never been completely sold on the mid-high boot trend. To me, they offer the worst bits of both walking shoes and more rugged hiking boots, with a cuff that doesn't offer much support but sits at an uncomfortable height just above the ankle.
Pulling the Merrell Moab Speed 2 boots from the box, my heart sank a bit, but forcing myself to wear them over my trusty Danner Mountain Evo 600 Evo, I began to understand their place in the hiking footwear lineup.
