Light and comfy

6 years ago

Light and comfortable enough to hike in for shorter distances. Soles grip slippery rocks pretty well. Like all water shoes you'll get sand and pebbles in them, but they are easy enough to take off and shake out. My one issue is that sand gets stuck in the ventilation holes in the insoles, which gets pretty uncomfortable, and it's kind of a hassle to poke them all out. I'll be swapping in better insoles, no big deal! Still wouldn't recommend them for the beach or other sandy conditions, but they're great as extra shoes for hiking/camping, dips, and river crossings!

What is happening to the quality?

4 years ago

I've been wearing Merrell's for many years and my last two pair have been the biggest disappointments. My Choprocks soles are coming loose in a number of places and I've only had them a few months. Most of the wear is just to work, so I can only imagine if I'd been hitting the trails hard. I was super excited with their fit and comfort when I recieved them, but my enthusiasm is fading fast. Merrell's are generally rated as a good lower cost shoe, but I'd rather pay more for a shoe that would hold together. What happened to stitching soles of shoes on? I guess I'm old school but I count on my shoes lasting more than a year or two.

Great water shoes

3 years ago

I wanted a water shoe that was more like a shoe than a sandal, and these have been perfect. Have worn them in sand (beach), water, sidewalks, driveways, and in commercial spaces. They are very comfortable, on both sand and hard surfaces, and dry rapidly. I haven't tried them on rocks yet, but they feel as though they'll be perfect for that, too (supportive and grippy soles). They are strangely long for their respective sizes, but I found that having extra room in the toes helped to keep the sand, that inevitably collects there when walking on the beach, from jamming against my toes, and they are still comfortable for walking.

Like wearing a pair of vice grips

5 years ago

I got these to replace my 5 year old Merrell All Out Blaze Sieve sandals. In all, it's my 5th pair of Merrell's. With every pair before, it was like putting on a wonderfully broken in shoe that fit perfectly every time. With these, my god, it was absolutely crushing my foot . Same size as I always get, the length is perfect but so, so very tight. I don't have even remotely large feet either. Decided to take them for a walk around the block anyway to see how stretchy they were, but came back with numb toes and the back of my heel torn up. Returned immediately. Disappointing, as I love all my other Merrell shoes.

Stitching runs down the middle of the hee.

6 years ago

Good arch support, hugs the foot. However, there is stitching that runs straight down the middle of the heel. After wearing these shoes for 1/2 day around town and trying different degrees of tightening the shoes, the stitching in the heel area has rubbed my heels raw. I currently own 6 pairs of merrell shoes and this is the first time I've bought a pair of shoes from merrell that hurt my feet.

Very comfortable water shoe...for hiking though?

5 years ago

I have been wearing these shoes for a couple days and love how comfortable they are. However, I am not too sure if I'd be interested in using them on a hike. Like the other reviewers on here, I have noticed my heel is a bit exposed and there is some mild rub on them. For quick jaunts to the beach, but for a 5 mile slog through mud and water...I will have to be more confident in the shoe before I do that. But otherwise, these are very comfortable shoes, and I am very happy with the purchase. I went a half size down from what I normally wear, and they fit like a glove. I wonder if there is like some kind of sock or buffer you can wear with these to make them more heel friendly? Not sure...

Worn the entire Summer.

5 years ago

Bought these to use on the trail and water. They exceeded my expectations. At the beginning of the season I left my running shoes home. Rather than miss a run I used my Choprocks on a 10k, sock-less. These were perfect. The ventilation and comfort is great for the summer.

Comfy but impractical

4 years ago

This was a birthday gift to my partner, who relayed his feedback on the shoes. They are comfy and he enjoys wearing them around our property on a warm day. Probably better for kayaking or boating. However, we purchased these with river adventures in mind. Getting out of our tubes on river floats, as well as hiking up our creek both resulted in the same irritating issue for him: little rocks constantly getting stuck in his shoes. With other shoes with open toes, he is able to kick or fling his foot to remove the rocks. With the closed toes they stay nice and snug under your foot until you unstrap the entire shoe to remove them. They are also not very grippy for walking through streams, though I guess you can't expect much unless there is felt padding. Rubber is still going to slip on rocks, no matter what interesting pattern promises.
