1. I never knew they were in Minnesota. Always assumed Europe. Tried on one of their hiking boots long ago and it seemed narrow.
2. Different subject: currently deciding between Solomon X Ultra 4 GTX and Merrell 3, based on this article, which honestly might just be product placement. All the links lead to REI, which is okay, but tingles my spidey-sense.

Any suggestions? Could be anything. Trying to avoid Lone Peaks since they reportedly wear out so fast.

Currently leaning toward the Merrells because (a) they’re cheaper and I try to be frugal and avoid lifestyle creep or owning things that can elicit jealousy; (b) ordering online without trying on and (i) I’ve worn Merrells before and know they are wide enough for me; (ii) want them for a Colorado Springs trip in a couple of weeks where I presume there will be outfitters with stock of better shoes that I can try on there–not much in the way of that where I live.

Thanks.
