My love for hiking and trekking started in 2013 when my friend invited me to join in one of Coleman's event to Mt. Batulao in Batangas. I immediately started to bought all the things I needed. A tent, camping cooking tools and equipment, trekking pants and shirts, a day hike bag and of course a trekking shoes.

But there's a lot of hiking shoe brands in the market, so when I ask the sales representative that I am looking for a trekking shoes but can also used as a running shoes. And she recommends me Merrell WaterPro Maipo. After almost 4 years of using it as my day to day shoes it broke down. 

This year, I planned to go to Sagada and one of the tourist spot I'd like to see is the Marlboro Hills and Blue Soil, this attraction not so popular unlike other tourist spot in Sagada like Kiltepan for the sunrise and sea of clouds because unlike Kiltepan that you can trek for just 30 minutes to viewpoint, you need to spend 1-2 hours of trekking to Marlboro Hills and another 3 hours to Blue Soil.

Since I have BDJ Coupon P 500 off on Merrell Footwear I grab the opportunity to buy a new pair of trekking shoes with my trusted brand.
