I wore my newer Merrell Moabs on my hike and have to say, two thumbs up! They were comfortable and gripped like glue on some slippery stuff. I've switched to low cut shoes from a hiking boots and my knee is much happier, much less stress transmitted up the leg.
Glad to hear the Merrells are working for you Pax, I really did like mine until it became apparent that they just didn't fit my feet properly.

Never thought about stress being transmitted up the leg from my beloved rigid Solomon's causing shin splints before I threw in an 11-mile hike until my doctor suggested it. I am going to experiment this weekend with a 2-3 mile dirt hike in my Keene hiking shoes, I'm a bit nervous that my legs may need the opposite of my feet, but I need to strike out and experiment. I won't know until I try!
