    Found some mud the other night. Good news is that it didn't get IN the boot (it was a deep mud hole on the trail and I sank pretty quick) and that my boots are still water proof...it took about 2 minutes of standing in the creek and scrubbing to get most of it off! Yay for Merrell's!

    How long have you had your Merrell's? I know the water proofing on mine crapped out after 60 straight hours of rain and having to go through mud and streams for about 10-15 miles each day.:(

    this pair I've had for about a year and a half. I wear them a ton too - I don't make a regular habit of soaking them though :rolleyes:. There are lots of miles racked up on these from summer hikes and snowshoeing. They also survived the 3 day monsoon that we called a TW meet here in June.

    It wasn't my choice but worth it in the end, had to get from point A to point B, easiest way was through the muck and the stream. :D After being in a cloud for two days all of the trails were reduced to mud pits

    I use this when I'm car camping. The one I use is a coleman though. Works very well.

    Happened to me but only because I left it near a fire too long drying out, use a heat gun, worked well for me. Or a campfire. Just be careful setting it.

    I love Merrell - the only reason I have somewhere around 6 pairs :rolleyes: is use (sneakers vs boots), color, material (heavier for winter, lighter for summer) I don't think I've worn any of them out!

    Nope. :cool: Pants were clean...just me shoe was dirty. :p

    I almost melted mine at the meet in June...there is just a slight shrinkage on one side of one sole. I think I rescued it just in time though!

    I have one of these and it works pretty well. Only thing that's annoying is the side panels fall if you breath on them the wrong way :mad:

    They seem to be hella expensive but if you wait, you can find them on sale.
