My favorite outdoor activity is walking everyday. I have been diagnosed with severe acid reflux, and something I can do to assist doctors and medicine is keeping 20 pounds off. And the only way I can do THAT is by wearing Merrells due to foot problems! Getting older is wonderful, but it requires some help sometimes. Thank you Merrell!!

My favorite winter activity is sledding with my nieces in the backyard. We can do that for hours…usually races to see who gets down first. We also make snow forts, which are also fun.

—By gmathew85 on November 16, 2010 at 11:50 am
I used to love to go cross country skiing when my knees were better. My brothers both lived out in the country with beautifully hand groomed trails. Now I do the next best thing to slowly see the nature around me. I love to walk so I can see, and appreciate, the contrast of the black branches against the snow and the tracks in of rabbits and assorted other widlife.

—By JulieP on November 16, 2010 at 2:06 pm
I love Ice Skating.
I also love sledding.

—By Maureen on November 16, 2010 at 2:40 pm
Oh – I just love to ice skate. Can’t say that I very good, but I certainly try!

—By june36 on November 16, 2010 at 4:13 pm
I love walking in the snow – just enjoying the beautiful scenery and solitude.

—By Cindy on November 16, 2010 at 4:18 pm
I love going to the snow, hearing the squeaking crunch of fresh power under my boots, breathing the fresh pine scented air. Walking in the winter sun after a snowstorm is unforgettable. But just as much, I love sitting inside during a storm, cozy by the fire. These Merrell boots might give me the best of both worlds: I can be cozy while I’m outside.

—By beadlantern on November 16, 2010 at 5:08 pm
I love taking a walk in the snow. We don’t get much snow here in Texas, so when I get a chance to be out in it, it’s a real cool blast!

—By erob65 on November 16, 2010 at 6:22 pm
I just love walking in the deep beautiful snow with my rottie moe. I used to walk with homer also but he went to heaven on 11/15/2010. walking in the crisp great outdoors is what keeps me balanced and happy. these boots are stylish and extreamly warm. I miss my walking friend homer he was such a happy dog and loved to go for long walks to chase birds and deer and to dig gofers out of the ground.these boots keep your feet warm in the northern washington state weather.

—By karenanderson on November 17, 2010 at 12:24 pm
I love hiking in the winter, breathing in the fresh crisp air, hear the crunch of the snow and sometimes seeing how many steps I can take on top of the snow after a hard freeze before sinking in:)

—By nooshy on November 17, 2010 at 12:27 pm
I love snow shoeing onto the frozen lake to build a snow family. Then we go inside for hot toddies and gaze at our snow family from inside Good family times and memories.

—By Deb on November 17, 2010 at 12:29 pm
My favorite winter activity, pre-having children was downhill skiing. These days, its sledding outside with my two boys or building snow forts when the drifts get high enough.

—By tsachs on November 17, 2010 at 12:32 pm
My favorite winter outdoor activity is playing in the snow with my kids. Building a snowman or having a snowball fight.

—By jpohlmeier on November 17, 2010 at 12:34 pm
The first thing I do is stand outside and listen. When the world is quiet and snowflakes are falling, I like to look up into the sky, close my eyes, open out my mouth and stick out my tongue.

When the snow is good for packing, I like building giant snowmen in the front yard – we’re on a bus route and it’s fun for the kids to see a big happy snowman on their way to school!

—By Leanne on November 17, 2010 at 12:36 pm
I love to build a snowman every year with my kids. It is so much fun to see what they create every year!

—By janaglosson on November 17, 2010 at 12:40 pm
My favorite winter time activity is hanging out in the ski lodge, by the fire place of coarse. And what better way to do that but in a pair of Merrell’s on your feet!

—By sharongarzone on November 17, 2010 at 12:50 pm
Cross country skiing, sledding and ice skating. Oh and hockey!

—By yogahz on November 17, 2010 at 12:52 pm
I LOVE Ice Skating. I grew up in California in the Bay Area, so our ice rink was inside, but I live in Ohio now, and after Thanksgiving Five Rivers Metropark (coolest park system EVERY) in Dayton, OH opens an outdoor rink. I absolutely LOVE it. I’ll actually get to go this year, because im not pregnant or carrying a toddler around for the first time in 3 years! LOL = )

—By MochaMommy on November 17, 2010 at 12:56 pm
Being from Florida, there is really no winter, but I would love to be in NYC and be in the snow and have snow ball fights!! That is my dream..

—By PStern2002 on November 17, 2010 at 1:09 pm
we love to walk our dogs in the snow. All the noise is muted and everything looks so fresh. The dogs love it too.

—By gervitsd on November 17, 2010 at 1:17 pm
To be honest– I hate the winter weather. I would rather be inside where it is nice and toasty– So my favorite winter activities are cooking, reading, hanging out by the fire…etc.. But if I HAVE to be outside..I’d sure rather be as warm and dry (yet fashionable) as possible.

—By miearsk on November 17, 2010 at 1:49 pm
I love to SKI! After a long day on the slopes my feet and legs are sometimes so sore and tired they feel like jello. The best part is when you can get out of your stiff ski boots and slide on a pair of warm comfy boots. Those first steps are like walking on air! I’d love to be able to slide into a new pair of Merrells after hitting the slopes this season!

—By taytay29 on November 17, 2010 at 1:52 pm
My favorite winter outdoor activity is playing outside with my 2 year old son. Even better–in the snow, but it doesn’t snow too often here. He loves running around and playing ball.

—By melaniepack on November 17, 2010 at 1:54 pm
My favorite winter activity is playing in the snow with my 2 children. I buy snow cone syrup in the summer so we can make real snow snow cones, right before we go in for a big cup of hot cocoa.

—By Madtox on November 17, 2010 at 2:09 pm
Actually, my favorite winter activity is just walking out in the snow. Especially at night when everything’s quiet and the snow is softly falling…

—By Rayna on November 17, 2010 at 2:46 pm
I love walking my dogs in the cold. I bundle up myself and put them in their matching coats. It cheers up the people in the neighborhood who see them looking so cute!

—By doggymom on November 17, 2010 at 2:46 pm
Pulling the kids in the sled – a great workout and they love it!

—By cdonnelly on November 17, 2010 at 2:55 pm
Living in Northern Wisconsin offers the perfect opportunity to get outside in the winter. My favorite winter activity is snow shoeing. I love walking through the snow covered pines and seeing animal tracks left in the snow. I am a huge Merrell fan and live in my Siren Gingers during the summer. I just purchased a pair of Siren Sports to get me through the fall. I would love a toasty pair of Encore Apex boots for the winter!

—By KathyB03 on November 17, 2010 at 3:06 pm
Love watching the snow fall. Afterwards, the surprise snowball attacks!

—By Justme on November 17, 2010 at 3:09 pm
Sledding! Definitely sledding! Steep hills! Powder snow! Fast! Thrilling!

—By monique on November 17, 2010 at 3:26 pm
My favorite winter outdoor activity is walking in the snow with comfortable and warm boots. I grew up in the Caribbean and I saw snow for the first time in 1995. I am fascinated by the snow falling in the winter and walking in the snow and seeing everything white during the winter.

—By Penelope on November 17, 2010 at 3:41 pm
My two grandsons, 7 and 9 year old, love to make snowmen with me. We make one for everyone – dad, mom, each of them and gammy and papa. Then we all stand next to the snowmen and take a picture. We end our snowman making with a snowball fight.

—By Tommie on November 17, 2010 at 3:49 pm
I love to cross-country ski and snowboard, but I also love to take walks in my favorite Merrell boots. They are so comfy that I wore them at the end of my pregnancy and was able to walk over two miles Those boots are keepers.

—By dianeg on November 17, 2010 at 3:50 pm
my favorite winter activity is wearing all my Merrell Boots (not at the same time) and looking good….then switching to my other Merrells and looking good in all the other seasons….

—By memejoann on November 17, 2010 at 3:52 pm
My favorite outdoor winter activity is definitely bundling up and walking downtown to view the Christmas lights strung throughout the city. Peaceful and invigorating.

Hot chocolate after a day playing in the snow!

skiing on a deserted ski slope full of fresh powder.

—By skibum on November 17, 2010 at 4:24 pm
We dont really have a winter in southern california…. it’s a freezing day when its less than 60 degrees! So… with that said, I do enjoy running! Esp in the morning when its crisp and you watch the sunrise as your body warms up. Then a hot shower. That’s a perfect morning.

—By julia on November 17, 2010 at 5:29 pm
My favorite outdoor winter activity is making snowmen with my two little girls. The excitement they exude is well worth the cold and wet conditions.

—By motorcyclenurse on November 17, 2010 at 7:12 pm
My all time absolute favorite outdoor winter activity is making snowmen with my two little girls. Any cold or wet feeling is pushed aside by the excitement they exude when making the snowmen.

—By motorcyclenurse on November 17, 2010 at 7:15 pm
I love to chop wood in the winter, you get a great workout! Chopping wood keeps you warm enough to forgo a coat in the cold, except for your feet…you need good boots for that! Merrell boots would be great for chopping wood! Keeping your feet warm is the hardest part, because otherwise the wood warms you twice: chopping it and later burning it in the fireplace. Nothing like a roaring winter fire in the fireplace to snuggle up and read a book (my favorite indoor winter-time activity, while we’re at it!).

—By Rosie K. on November 17, 2010 at 7:39 pm
I’m from Hawaii. In the winter, we go surf.

—By Jimmy on November 17, 2010 at 8:11 pm
Snow, mountains & downhill! Need I say more! My passion for the mountains has sustained memories and enthusiasm with my family for over 30 years. This year I broke my leg in Sept. but will be healed in time for March skiing in Montana! A positive attitude about life and living resulted in record healing! It will be escential for me to be sure-footed while walking around the mountain village! Merrell boots could certainly help keep me on my feet!

—By BJTheis on November 18, 2010 at 6:21 am
I love those tall ones! they look so warm and cozy! I am excited the cold weather has finally returned; it was a hot, hot summer in Las Vegas!

—By Sarah on November 18, 2010 at 9:05 am
Oh yes! And my favorite winter activity is hiking out at Red Rock Canyon in the Mojave Desert. It gets colder than you might think!

—By kwils on November 18, 2010 at 10:08 am
Since we get snow so infrequently here in the Seattle area, my favorite winter activity is taking the dog out into a fresh snow. It’s rare and she loves it!

My favorite outdoor winter activity is going tubing with my boys! Nothing is more thrilling then a high speed ride down a big hill that we can do as a family. It’s also something our family will always remember.

—By Shannon Schulte on November 18, 2010 at 10:28 am
Sledding family favorite

—By marelsa on November 18, 2010 at 10:31 am
My favorite winter activity is going out and looking at all the Christmas decorations and lights in the neighborhoods. Some of them are truly over the top but so festive to see. I can’t wait to do that with my new nephew and get his reactions when he is old enough.

—By Helen S on November 18, 2010 at 10:34 am
I love playing in the snow with my kids. Whether it is snowball fights, tunneling or building snow forts. I love spending time with them.

—By Paul on November 18, 2010 at 11:01 am
My favorite outdoor winter activity is skiing because I love feeling the wind whip across my face and it’s one of the few sports I’m actually rather good at. It’s such an elegant endeavor and I have fun skiing either alone or with family and friends.

—By Amber on November 18, 2010 at 11:17 am
luckily it doesn’t snow here, but it gets cold as i don’t know what anymore. i’m a gardener so i like to be outside in my vegetable garden or giving peanuts to the squirrels lol

—By janeh on November 18, 2010 at 12:03 pm
My favorite is building snowpeople with my kids. My whole family loves going outside and playing around in the snow. But, the highlight for me is actually building the snowpeople and seeing how big we can make them & then decorating them.
Thanks so much for this wonderful giveaway.

—By dnhclr on November 18, 2010 at 2:42 pm
My family loves snowshoeing, but I’m more of a hot chocolate-in-coffeeshop type person, so our trips to Sequoia National Park have something for all of us!

—By Rita M on November 18, 2010 at 2:43 pm
I always loved to ice skate but arthritis has gotten the better of these old knees and the replacements are not up to such rigor so now I just sit by the window and admire nature’s artistry and remember times past.

—By mensa63 on November 18, 2010 at 2:49 pm
Hibernating….but a new pair of boots might change that!

I am a Chicago native and I LOVE the snow in the wintertime. I go walking everyday, and I love to walk to the lake to build snowmen, have snowball fights, and go sledding with my family. I ESPECIALLY love making snow angels.

—By Sabrina P. on November 18, 2010 at 3:14 pm
To do anything in fresh new snow is my ideal of heaven. Getting out into the woods and seeing all the fresh fallen snow is wonderful. It’s so important to be warm and what better way to do that than wear Merrell boots or so I’ve been told. My favorite day would include close friends, white snow, hot campfire and warm feet in Merrell boots. Nothing could possiby be better, I’m sure. LLmathis

I live in North Texas, so there really is not a lot of winter activities going on. I would have to say that tailgating and watching football games is at the top. These boots would be ideal for those activities.

My favorite outdoor wintertime activity is to stay warm during whatever I decide to do whether it’s shopping, walking in the snow, or whatever! I’m sure that I would love sledding because it looks like so much fun but we never get enough snow where I live to sled; I ice skate in the summertime at an out of town mall!

I’m thankful to live in a place where outdoor winter activities don’t involve snow or rain! So I guess my favorite outdoor winter activity would just be walking, soaking up that wonderful sun.

—By Elena on November 19, 2010 at 8:48 am
My favorite winter activity is hiking in the snow in the forest near our cabin up north. My husband and I take the dogs and enjoy the peace and beauty any time of day. Night time in the snow and woods is awesome.

—By janno on November 19, 2010 at 8:49 am
My favorite wintertime outdoor activity is definitely walking, and I generally log between 11 to 25 miles a day. I am not a spring/summer person, so I wait for my beloved fall/winter to arrive and then I am outdoors as often as I can be. Bliss.

This boot would be wonderful for when we visit our grandson.. I could then join in the backyard fun of snowman building and snowball wars.. I live in a warmer climate and do not own a pair of boots, so I don’t get to do the fun bakyard stuff.

—By wolfsong328 on November 20, 2010 at 3:43 am
I truly hate to be cold, so my favorite activity in winter is to stay indoors and read or be on the computer. Unfortunately, I have a driveway and sidewalks that need shoveling

—By Cynthia C on November 20, 2010 at 3:55 am
My favorite winter day activity is probably just staying inside by the fire and staying warm. I am a Southern gal and being outside in the cold and snow are not my thing. When my family goes skiing, I bring along a stack of good books and enjoy a day of drinking coffee and reading.

—By lisaland on November 20, 2010 at 5:08 am
My husband and I have 2 children and we live by the Jersey Shore. My husband and son surf in the winter so I go to the beach and watch them surf. My daughter and I walk on the beach while they surf.

Usually it is driving with the seat heater on 5 while the Minnesota wind chill paralyzes everything outside. This year I would like to break free from that cocoon and try snowshoeing.

—By ais on November 20, 2010 at 8:26 am
Not many people would say this but there is nothing greater than getting out the snow shovel after a snowstorm. The bending,stretching and breathing in the clean cold air is so invigorating.

Late fall is a great time for hiking. I usually
go to a trail that is along the Columbia river.
Some days are very brisk, others are mild. The
scenery is ever changing and Mt. Hood with fresh
snow is stunning to the east.

My favorite outdoor winter-time activity is “Cross Country Skiing”. I went for the first time 3 years ago with my younger brother and was instantly hooked. The first day we spent close to 10 hours outside, I thought I would be exhausted but instead I was ready to come back again the next day. So now we go cross country skiing every chance we get during the winter.

My winter activity is riding a 30 minute ferry everyday to work. I stand outside to enjoy the scenery and try to stay warm with coats and blankets. Merrell shoes have helped me with my foot situation. They have the best support. I would love to have the merrell boots you are showing.. This would keep my feet warm in the winter while I am riding outside on the ferry.
Thanks alot!

Merrell is the only brand of hiking boots I wear. They are hands down the best fitting and feeling shoes on the planet. I would love to win a new pair of boots to get me through many more Colorado winters.

We enjoy shoveling out tunnels in the snow..especially after it snows 3 or 4 feet and then has deep drifts. It is warm inside after you finally get in!:)

When I was younger I loved to ice skate and go sledding. Now that age is creeping up on me I like staying inside and watching the snow fall.

—By Betty C on November 22, 2010 at 11:28 pm

I wear Merrell shoes. I don’t wear anything else. I have big feet and I’m a big person. Before finding Merrells I wore through every shoe I owned, and I eventually wear through Merrells too, but very slowly.

When you say you have a sale on my favorite Merrell shoe, and you have one color and one size (size 9?) What man has a size 9 shoe? None that I know.

Years ago while working in Communist Russia I saw the government giving out shoes to anyone who wanted them. There was only one catch…they only had one style and one size…but they were free!

I have two favorite winter activities. First is walking on the Oregon Coast Beaches. Not as many people in the winter but, beautiful in it’s own way. Second is Leavenworth, WA. There is so much to do outside. The best part is having my family there with me. Merrill products keeps everyone comfy and cozy so that we can enjoy the great outdoors!

I am a single Mom with two young children whom I love to play with in the snow ! But time is short outdoors when your feet are too cold.. Would love to be able to spend more time playing with the girls in a new pair of Merrell boots.
