Merrell has been crafting high-quality performance footwear for three decades and now, to help celebrate their anniversary, they’ve created the Merrell Origins collection. These great-looking hiking shoes offer a return to classic Merrell styling, but use the latest materials and engineering for advanced support and cushioning. So, when you’re out hiking with your pals, you’ll get all of Merrell’s legendary comfort served with a big side of pure, classic cool. And they could be yours free.
That’s right, we may have invited ourselves to Merrell’s anniversary party, but at least we’re bringing presents. We’re going to hold a random drawing and give way FOUR (4) pairs of classically cool Merrell Origins hiking shoes from their Eagle and Solo style lines. How can you get in on the drawing? It’s easy; just use the comment section below to provide a short answer to the question:
What is the coolest thing that has ever happened to you while hiking?
Did you see a double-rainbow or maybe find a hidden lake? Perhaps it was just one of those days where everything went a little better than perfect, and even the photos turned out great. Whatever it was, we want to hear the hiking story you tell your other friends (we’re Friends, right?) when it’s time to wow them.
But first, let’s have a closer look at the prizes. You know, to get your creative juices flowing. The Merrell Origins Eagle hiking shoe has an instantly-comfortable suede and mesh upper, with an EVA insole for shock absorption. We could drill down on all of the features, but really, just look at it. Awesome.
The Merrell Origins Solo hiking shoe features the same great suede and mesh upper, Merrell Air Cushion heel and EVA insole as the Eagle, but has a lower profile around the ankle. Just remember, the Solo is “so-low”. The style harkens back to a time when color was king, suede was everywhere, and people used the word “harkens”. Have a look at this beauty:
As long as you’re here (and already planning the rest of your outfit to wear with your new Merrell footwear), you may as well enter the drawing. Just don’t wait too long to answer the question; the drawing ends 11:59 PM (PDT) Wednesday, August 24, 2011.

My favorite memory hiking was the night we woke up to a mouse that had gotten into an energy bar and was scurrying all over the place. That morning we also were the only ones on the lake and enjoyed the sunrise.
