I lost my gray Merrell hiking boots yesterday around 3pm near the Eau Claire Public Library on Water Street. They're well-worn but comfy, with a blue paracord tied around the top lace and a small tear near the toe on the left boot. Inside the heel there's an orange fabric tag that faded a bit in the sun. They're size 9 and have sentimental value—these boots were a gift from my late aunt and have stuck with me on every weekend hike.
