Merrell Ontario 85 Wool Mid Waterproof hiking boot review: Comfort and performance The Ontario boots were designed as competent but not overly technical hikers that ooze style and provides lashings of comfort. They look great on, very similar to the Mountain 600 from Danner. A great looking pair of boots is much more wearable on so many more occasions than a pair of garish, brightly coloured mountain boots so you arguably get better value from them, these boots are seriously comfortable to wear and perform welltoo.
