I plan a hiking trip in England so researched the best hiking boots/shoes to wear.  I love both the Merrell shoes and these boots.  I bought the wrong size of these due to an orthopedic insert I've just been given, and the return for the next size happened VERY quickly.  I'm sure I got my new boots before the one's I sent back arrived to amazon.  I LOVE AMAZON EVERYTHING.  What a great company, great service... I feel like they care about me as a customer.  Back to the shoes - they are a bit loose at the top but I'm sure I need to learn how to lace these properly.  I walked around all day yesterday in them and my feet thought they were in heaven all day.  Thanks Mother of All Boots!!!  Yep, they are moab.
