I've just about worn out a pair of the non-Gore-tex Moab Ventilators. When I head to the door to hike or walk the dogs, they are the ones I always grab. 5 other pairs of hiking shoes, and these always go out the door with me. Heaven knows how many miles they've got on them. I have a wide foot and this last in "wide" just fits. Very durable -- very comfortable.

The Gore-tex version fits the same. They feel lighter. They really haven't required any break-in. I hope Merrill keeps making these for a LONG time!
