Is the Chameleon Termo 8 Tall worth $190?

At $190 it is priced in line with other 400g insulated waterproof winter boots. It is worth it if you need maximum warmth and snowshoe compatibility; lighter hikers can spend less on a 200g boot.

How warm is 400 grams of insulation?

400g is Merrell's warmest insulation rating, meant for deep winter and low activity in cold conditions. It will be too warm for temperatures near or above freezing.

Can I use these with snowshoes?

Yes. The boot has a built-in snowshoe strap, and the stiff sole and tall shaft suit strap bindings. Check that your snowshoe binding fits the boot's width.

About 1 lb 5.5 oz per shoe. That is heavy for hiking but normal for a 400g insulated winter boot.

What sizes and colors are available?

Sizes 7 to 15 in black/gray only. The removable footbed lets you swap in an orthotic without changing fit much.

When is the price lowest?

Winter boots typically discount at the end of the season, in late winter and early spring. No recent price history is available for this model, so compare across stores before buying.

Our take on the Merrell Chameleon Termo 8 Tall Waterproof Boot

The Merrell Chameleon Termo 8 Tall is a men's winter hiking boot with a waterproof synthetic upper, fleece lining and 400 grams of synthetic insulation, rated for the coldest conditions Merrell sells. It sits on a Vibram TC5+ outsole with 5mm lugs and includes a snowshoe strap, so it works for deep snow and snowshoeing as well as cold-weather hikes. Each boot weighs about 1 lb 5.5 oz, which is heavy but expected for this insulation class. The best listed price is $190 at ModeSens as of the listing date, and no recent price history is available to compare it against.
