I did make it to REI a few weeks ago and my wonderful husband bought me some cool new kicks. I got the Siren Sport GORE-TEX XCR athletic shoe from Merrell. Yes – I realize that’s a terribly long name! No worries though cause the shoe is amazing! I’ve taken them on several local day hikes to break them in but they didn’t need. They’re very comfortable right out of the box.
I also tested them out on a couple paddles (8 mile and 16 mile). I’m pretty good at getting into my kayak and getting out on the water without getting my feet wet. With the cold water and cold air temperatures I REALLY didn’t want to get wet at all. The shoes are GORE-TEX lined so I stayed dry throughout my paddle.
The Merrell site really advertises these for off-road running, speed hiking and trail biking. I have no doubt the shoes are great for this and more.
