Title: Shoes
Post by: Gamehunter034 on September 05, 2016, 10:44:46 PM: For the last 10+ yrs my everyday shoe has been the Georgia Romeo like most people. I am looking to switch to something different for everyday use, thinking either a set of keen's or Merrell's. Anyone have experience with either brand good or bad points. Looking for something comfortable in the price range between $80-120. Again mostly will be worn for everyday use..not work, i wear an under armor duty boot for work. Thanks!

A "hiking" boot, but pretty comfortable, durable, and they're waterproof. Got em at Cabelas

Had the Voyagers for a year now. Wore them at work. I am pretty hard on shoes most sneakers I can get about 6 months out of. The Voyagers 1 year and the only problem is one of the lugs of the tread is peeling off a bit.

Post by: Alchase on September 07, 2016, 11:12:53 AM: All I wear are Merrels, with the exception of my Asolo GTXs.
I wear Moab Mid Rovers waterproof as my everyday work shoes.
I have Moab Goretex as my kick around shoes.
And Jungle Mocs (slip-ons) around the house. Probably the most comfortable shoe I have ever owned.
I use Thermal 6 in. waterproof, for hiking/hunting in snow.
