Love the way the Merrells Moabs fit my feet and how comfortable they are out of the box. I've worn them as everyday shoes, work shoes, and even wore them on a multi-day backpack hunting trip into the Trinity Alps.
However, they wear out fast! That being said..I don't recall ever seeing anyone like in the ads while I'm out hiking - and I live in the SF Bay area, where purple haired fatties are a dime a dozen. |

I have the same quality issues with Merrell. But the question isn’t “who uses my product”. It is “who else can I sell my product to”. Fatties wanting to lose weight and/or appear active make perfect sense, even if they buy some gear and it never sees the light of day. Companies have been successfully preying on people who want to lose weight and project an active appearance for ages. It is a formula that works. If I was in charge of marketing at Merrell, I’d absolutely market to fatties. Huge (no pun intended) target market. Logical buyers. Them using the product is less important than them buying the product. |

I hike. A lot. Thousands of miles. On rare occasions, I see hikers like this. After 15-20 tough miles, at the end of a loooong day, this is what you WANT to see. It's what you PRAY to see. Fat-bottom girls. The fatter the better. It means you are near the trailhead/parking lot. You made it!

It's amazing.
I spend every day watching what I eat and working out so I can stay fit for the backpacking trails going on 40+ years. And then this....... As the poster above me said.....the only time I've ever come across one of these people was less than 1/2 mile from the trailhead. |

They don't help out with chores. They eat way too much. They don't bury their shit. They pawn off their gear for others to carry. They whine about being unable to climb/scramble/jump like the rest of us. They snore like motherfuckers. Their level of laziness is astounding. The only reason a fat should be in the wild, is for extreme dieting and exercise. |

The only reason a fat should be in the wild, is for extreme dieting and exercise. Lol. You just triggered my PTSD from my BSA days. Had this fatass in our troop, EXACTLY as you described. Why are fat people fat? 1) they eat way too damned much 2) because they're friggin LAZY We had a challenge. Pair up and complete several tasks, to see which pairs could do it the quickest. The last task was carrying a log up a hill. Of course, I got stuck with lazy fatass. Did all the work, while he stood around lazy and useless, but the last straw was carrying that log up the hill. WTF. The log is heavy, but it shouldn't be THIS hard. Then I realized I was carrying the log AND dragging this lazy fatass up the friggin hill. The moment I realized what was happening, I said, "Let's put this down and take a break". The moment he let go, I took off up the hill with this friggin log by myself, where EVERY other pair had 2 people to carry the load. Heavy as it was, it was way easier carrying it up the hill solo, than carrying the log while dragging his useless fatass up the hill with me. I made it up the hill alone, with the damned log, way before he did just walking his fatass up there. He didn't show up again after that. Good riddance. I've had 95lb girls try to help carry heavy things before. They may not be that strong, but they were providing as much assistance as they could, and made it a teeny bit lighter (yes, I've also encountered the types who want to help, but just get in the way), but it takes a special kind of lazy POS to not only not assist, but to use you as a friggin Tractor to pull their fatass along because they're too damned lazy to put any effort into it. |
