Why We Love This Deal
Merrell’s waterproof hiking boots are considered some of the best available today. The brand has developed a devout following that cherishes its commitment to comfort and performance, and keeps coming back for more, pair after pair. While Merrell hiking boots typically hold their value, several pairs are on sale right now, and one of them just dropped below the $70 mark.
Merrell’s Speed Solo Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots are now on sale for $63. This price is thanks to an initial markdown to $90 and then an additional 30% off with the code EXTRA30, which Men’s Journal recently uncovered as an unadvertised promotion. This boot is available in one color—the rest have sold out—but majority of sizes are still available.

What Shoppers are Saying
Shoppers report the Speed Solo Mids meet the expectations Merrell has developed for its footwear. “I haven’t owned more comfortable hiking shoes than these,” one hiker said. Another agreed, adding that they’re “extremely comfortable and very lightweight.”
These make great travel shoes as well, as confirmed by one shopper who wrote, “In Venice, it was raining on the day we arrived, but my feet stayed perfectly dry and did not slip on wet stone pavement.”
Whether you’re traveling, hiking, or walking, the Merrell Speed Solo Mid Waterproof Hiking Shoes are a reliably comfortable choice for $63. A few sizes are already out of stock, so you should jump on this deal before the size you want runs out.
