Merrell Crosslander 3 Waterproof Men's Hiking Boots

The "I Have Kids Now" Hiking Boot

Remember when you used to hike for fun? Now you're just trying to keep up with the kids while avoiding blisters and existential dread. Enter the Crosslander 3 - the boot that says "I'm outdoorsy" but also "I need to be home by 5 for dinner."

Here at Get Out, we specialize in finding you deals so good, you'll actually feel guilty. But not guilty enough to not buy them, obviously.

Why this boot exists:

Durable full grain leather meets a supportive midsole in what can only be described as a "sensible choice." It's the hiking boot equivalent of buying a minivan - you said you'd never do it, but here we are, and honestly? It's pretty great.

Features (or as we call them, "things that sound boring but will save your feet"):

• Waterproof membrane - For when you step in that puddle you definitely saw but somehow still stepped in
• Suede leather and mesh upper - Fancy enough for the trail, practical enough for chasing kids through the park
• Bellows tongue - Keeps debris out. Unlike your inbox.
• Protective toe cap - Because you WILL kick a rock. It's not if, it's when.
• 50% recycled EVA insole - Saving the planet, one footstep at a time
• Merrell Air Cushion - Like bubble wrap for your heels, but you can't pop it (we checked)
• Sticky rubber outsole - Grips better than your kid grips their iPad

Perfect for: Day hikes, keeping up with energetic children, walking home from the pub on dewy mornings (no judgment), and finally replacing those sneakers you've been hiking in for three years.

Not perfect for: People who think "waterproof" is just a marketing term. It's not. Your socks will thank us.
