I have a pair of boots that could likely hold up to them but they are Hanwags and made out of thick pigskin and hobnail and stitched Vibram soles. I still wouldn't make some huge bet though.

The walking makes them hungrier, so they eat an additional three bags of Doritos.

I see both sides.

We're fucked as a society because everyone is overweight.

But it's hard to get overweight people in the gyms because they're self conscious and think everyone will tease them. Or snicker as they get hiked past on a trail.

So I get while companies do this. 1, they're trying to get fat people to buy their products "See, here is pictures of you or people that look like you wearing our stuff. It's okay to buy it!" and 2, it might get fatties on the trails losing weight.

Again, this is just basic economics. Thin people are going to wear their shit. They don't need to see thin bodied models wearing exercise gear. Thin athletic people are what you see on 99% of social media and in fitness ads. Merrell is just doing what a business should be doing, selling to a broader audience, the types that aren't buying your stuff. It's not like some thin outdoorsy type is going to see this ad and be like "I'm not buying this clothing because I'm seeing fat people modeling it." Likely the only people that will get butthurt are the fat types that are mad at the world and don't even exercise and looking for things to get pissed off about as they stuff their faces with more fries. Athletic people are actually out doing stuff in the real world and not wasting their time getting mad at online ads.

Merrell’s hurt my feet. They hold the record as the only shoes I’ve ever had to put insoles in - twice. I’ve got some $20 wal-mart boots that I got on the way to the range that hurt less.

As for their ad campaign, she could be “hiking” some nice flat forest for a half mile and then celebrating with pizza, two pitchers of beer, and an ice cream topped brownie.

Absolutely. And what's crazy is just how many people will, quite adamantly, reject that notion as some sort of conspiracy theory.

Like when the woke gods decided that every couple in commercials needed to be multiracial. How angrily some right here rejected the idea.
Some even subtly (and sometimes not so subtly) insinuated that anyone who suggested it was a racist.
Now, it's so obvious, and so over the top, that it's impossible to either ignore or deny. But, I'm sure some still try.

This is the same thing. This is healthy!

What better way to really stress test new design shoes.
Accelerated stress or fatigue testing.   Not many miles, but the increased loads per cycle cheaper and quicker than having someone through hike the appallachian trail with a new model shoe

That’s one way to look at it, it’s actually a very good idea and I bet the people behind it are patting themselves on the back.

Holy fuckballs, so because of your post I decided to check out the Merrell IG page. The same fatties continue there. How do you get this fat?

My new born has tons of rolls and they smell when I clean them out. Imagine the stench of crustation and nastiness in-between the rolls of the two lay-dees???

I've seen fat people hike.  For like 200 yards, and then they usually turn back and drive off.

It's not a hobby that supports people being fat, and I in no way believe that one girl has been doing any meaningful hiking for 10 years.

Maybe the first 10 minutes to the bridge immediately after the trail head for some grammable picks lol

87% of GD is doing donuts in their mom's basement right now on their jazzy scooters next to their pallets of 7.62 x54R whilst exhausting their supply of distilled wudder for the old CPAP machine.

Im so tired of this fatty model bullshit being shoved down our throats like a box of Krispy Kremes.  Let's have some fun with it instead.


Must be a trail between old country buffets.

At least she's safer in the woods.  Down by the water she'd get harpooned.

So much for tread lightly.

Come on, what else can we come up with.
