Merell Mix Master Glide

Hartley,

I'd NEVER be caught wearing shoes with those clown colors. Not manly and masculine enough for this geezer. Plus I like to blend with my surroundings.

But with more "subdued" colors I would try them. I really like my Merrill Moab Ventilators.

Thank Eric ;)

I went with this one —

Many color options…more than most sneakers. "Geezer" options too. You can't get out of it THAT easily!

If you are interested, perhaps these colors would suit you better :)

OR

Eric,
You are definitely manly enough to pull off the look with those colors.

Please don't ridicule me for the NB Minimus 1010s I just purchased then. :o

I'm sure I'll look like a clown, oh well. 7.7oz per shoe for size 9 they say.

I own the original Mix Masters – the one with the mesh issue

I like them personally. They're lightweight and I find that it breathes well enough that it doesn't leave my feet clammy at the end of the day. The 4mm drop is comfortable for me and I have had no foot pains after a hike. However, when walking on pavement for long periods of time, these shoes don't have enough padding that it could cause some foot pain.

I have worn the same pair of Mix Masters since February this year and have used them on varying terrain around the San Gabriel Wilderness, Angeles National Forest, etc. (local SoCal mountains) – so far so good.
