Brilliant Merrell winter boots - in mourning…need an alternative!

[WhyamIinahandcartandwherearewegoing]

Mourning the demise (after many many years) of my workhorse winter boots….

so old they are no longer available in my size anywhere and I can’t find anything similar. They were SO good 😝

I've got a similar pair from a charity shop - which doesn't help you at all but does mean I know what you're looking for. Have you looked at Skechers boots? They do some similar styles which are waterproof. I've got a pair that are years old which I wear around the house and garden in winter now as they're getting a bit shabby.

Have you tried Vinted?

Nothing in Merrell’s current range? Have you tried Sorel, North Face, Columbia?

I feel your pain @WhyamIinahandcartandwherearewegoing My favourite Merrel sandals were discontinued never to be available again. I've even emailed them about it but to no avail.

I hope you find some new ones that will be as good, if not better

I bought some SOREL Joan boots recently after asking for advice here on MN and SOREL was given as an option
i bought some SOREL Joan explorer II on Vinted which I love and then a new pair of SOREL Joan explorer next from their online sale in a half size bigger. I love them both but the bigger size are better for me when walking longer distances as toes don’t hit the end. They’re warm, waterproof, very soft and comfortable and non slip which has been brilliant and I absolutely love them both.

I have some Ugg Simmens biker boots which look similar. Have lasted me years. I don’t think they do them anymore but you might find a pair somewhere.

What about these or others on this site?

Mine Bareback boots haven’t worn well, both pairs leak, after a couple of years. Winter use only, though I do dog walk and do horse stuff… I’m disappointed, but they’re very comfortable.
im looking at sketchers next. Or Ariat boots,ther terrain are very good, different styles, but don’t last as long as they used to. I must be getting old…

Thanks for these! Front runners seem to be the sorel or bareback ones 🤞🤞🤞

I had those tremblant and never got on with them as they were half a size too big!! I can check if they’re in the shoe box still (might have gone to charity) and send them on if you’re a 6.5?

@ifeelprettyandwitty that is beyond kind, though the wrong size sadly. But thank you xx

Ahh, shame xx

I had some Merrell winter boots a bit like that - I think the style was 'oslo". I have nothing useful to add - just passing on my amazement that yours are still going! I think these styles have been discontinued for some time now.

Merrell have a couple quite similar:

Women's Coldpack 3 Thermo Mid Zip Waterproof Winter Hiking Boots | Merrell
Women Marquette Thermo Tall Zip Waterproof - Boots | Merrell

I would always try to stay with Merrell personally, they're so comfy and they last forever. My walking shoes have been hiking in least twelve countries, including snowstorms and monsoons, plus a very thorough dunking in the Zambezi, and they're still good as new, bar a stripped shoelace I must get round to replacing. Also have sandals which are annoyingly well made - I bought them in a colour I didn't really want as they were a really good deal, thinking I'd replace them with a better colour when they died. Can't even remember how many years ago that was.

@OtherS those are a good shout thank you! Now to find them in my size!!
