Okay. Time for a new pair of Merrils. What do you guys suggest?

I've officially worn out both of my pairs of Merrils that I've had for a while now. It's time for a new pair. Who has what and what would you recomend? I wear them for hiking, woods walks, camping, everyday, etc. Since it's getting pretty hot outside, I've been looking at the Ventilator Mid, but I'll probably be getting two different kinds, one for combating heat whilst still being comfortable and one for pretty rough terrain hiking. So, what are your suggestions?

I got a pair of the Ventilator mids about a month ago and I love them. The mesh they use really lets my feet breathe. I've gone on about 10 hikes in them, mostly in hot weather and they felt great. The Vibram sole on them is nice, works awesome on rock scrambles. But it might wear out more quickly because it's soft.

I like the waterpros, kind of a water shoe, but works as a trail shoe too. I just got a pair of overdrives and they are by far the most comfortable shoe I own.

I love my chameleon wrap gortex xcr's. I wear them all day everyday. They also come in either a low or a mid for more ankle support.
