MLeake, that is something I've noticed too. I got ragged on pretty good for wearing Merrell hiking boots by various guys in my section.
I'm sorry, but I've been wearing Merrell boots since 2003 when I went to Philmont, didn't know the Boy Scouts led the way in tactical footwear. Best lighteight, waterproof hiking boot out there.
Very similar to the perception of North Face gear as either a wanna be spec-ops guy or yuppy frat boy. Granting I am a frat bot, but I was using North Face stuff long before it had the brand recognition it has today.

Sorry, saw that and I had to jump on it and didn't want to clutter up the thread with a junk post so I just tacked it on with what I had just posted.
