Merrell Moab 2 Waterproof Walnut 11

I needed a pair of reliable, durable winter/spring walking and hiking shoes that i could just slip on (yes I know they are lace ups!) and go. They are perfect. Very comfortable and solid with good ventilation and yet weather proof. My only comment might be in sizing. While I have no issue as such, i am a US men's 10 and I might have chosen a 10.5 if I had tried them on, especially if you are used to thick walking or winter socks. Not a real issue for me as not really a serious long distance hiker. There is also the added bonus that I have used them for mountain biking and the snugger fit and sole is great for that too. Great all round outdoor shoes.
