Low quality product

Pros

  • Good Traction

  • Poor Support

Best Uses

    Comments about Merrell Radius Waterproof Cross-Training Shoes - Men's:

    I just returned a pair after wearing them for 2 weeks.The problems I found:1. Very poor motion control for ankles - if you have even a slight over-pronation these shoes are not for you. I would not dare taking them to a hiking trip.2. They have a heavy chemical smell (even after two weeks) and they should not have passed quality control. The same persistent smell I've noticed on other shoes but they had an excuse - they only cost [$] not[$]

    I tried three different pairs of these shoes and not one was properly made. All had small-to-major defects that affected comfort. Merrell's quality control has plummeted since I bought my Yukon hiking boots.

    Comments about Merrell Radius Waterproof Cross-Training Shoes - Men's:

    Message to Merrell: Bring back the Pulse II, PLEASE!!! I bought the Radius Waterproof as a substitute replacement for my aging Pulse II x-trainers thinking performance would be the same. I was wrong. They are a bit clunky and extremely hot. I could not believe how wet my feet were when I took them off. I'm sorry that Merrell chose to discontinue such a winning shoe that they had in the Pulse II. I'm taking my Radius back for a refund and will try to get something more comparable to the Pulse.

    Bad Heal Support

    Comments about Merrell Radius Waterproof Cross-Training Shoes - Men's:

    I returned a pair of the mid-rise version of this shoe after one hike. I bought them as a replacement for the Merrell Pulse II--a great shoe, but no longer available. This shoe however has a too-soft outer heal that caused my under-pronated foot to roll on uneven trails--a good way to sprain an ankle. Comfortable, but too dangerous for a hike.

      These babies kept my feet dry despite running through a freak downpour (on pavement). This is my first water-proofed pair so I'm really impressed.
      Traction and support are definitely noteworthy. Sometimes you feel like you're wearing a pair of socks !
      Never felt this comfy since my old Pulse (don't like Pulse II).
      If mine falls apart, I'll get the same pair (again).

        Comments about Merrell Radius Waterproof Cross-Training Shoes - Men's:

        Very for the outdoor "trail" use. Will be heavier than your running shoe, and comparable x-trainer, so if your looking for something to run on streets or in the gym, get the typical tennis shoe. This is a terrific shoe for the active outdoor person. Walking, hiking trails, light hiking w/o pack; where conditions may be anything but "metro."
        It says waterproof, but as with any footwear, you need a good coat of proofing, otherwise, your feet will get wet. A can a spray-on water repellant is cheap and well worth it. Get a can with the shoes.
        I have had these for about 6 months, wear them just about every day, and they have held up perfectly. Been thru all of the elements too - snow, rain, mud, extreme cold. GREAT SHOE !

        i use this as a hike shoe and it gives reliable traction everywhere, including during abseiling. I returned some Merrell Chameleon's that were horribly uncomfortable. These shoes brought me back to Merrell.. It is supportive, comfortable, and somewhat waterproof. They feel a bit clunky but my normal shoe is a puma so its a matter of opinion. And they sometimes dig into the top of my toes when they are flexed completely.. Overall, for durability, comfort, and protection. This shoe is great!

          I just purchased these shoes and very happy with them so far. I have extremely flat feet and have to wear custom inserts in all my shoes. After putting the inserts in they have become the most comfortable shoes I've worn in a long time. I am in the military and just returned from Iraq. If I could have worn these out there I would have.

          Like sports car tires, this one has great traction. Like sports car tires, the sole wears out quickly. I have a pair with nearly new uppers, but the soles are shot.
