Merrell  SpeedARC Matis Hiking Shoes - Men's

Youll fall right off these shoes on a true trail hike guaranteed. Its like the team that designed these shoes have never hiked, ran a true trail, on a rugged mountain, or a 10 mile run through terrain. Great quality shoes. Comfortable, fit well, not for a wide foot. the elastic tie is utterly cheap, I would not count on that lace on a 6 hour hike. The out/mid soles need to be much wider for impact, landing, stability. I would not recommend these Speedarc Matis Shoes for hiking, trail running, mountains, long distance. They are a cool lookin shoe, and have a great quality to them. Just wear them out for style not performance

Great running shoes, wish they were a little wider. Love the unique looks that are equally good functionality and performance wise

I have had the SpeedArc Matis for about a month and love them. They are a bit narrow but so are my feet.... Lacing system is nice just pull and lock. They are very comfortable for walking and have not had any roll as other reviews stated. I would purchase again.

I got this product 5 months ago and one shoe already has a manufacturing defect. Merrell won’t honor its 1 year defect free; Merrell informed product is not eligible for replacement. Disappointing shoe and service lost a life long customer

If I were to buy enough of these shoes for the rest of my life I would! They are that amazing. I tell everyone they need a pair

These are so cute, comfy, and durable, I am so impressed by this shoe! I was moved to write my first internet review ever because of my experience today, where these shoes really excelled. I spent four hours moving my little brother out of his college dorm room (carrying boxes up and down stairs / across streets) in 95+ degree weather. These were so comfy the entire time and kept my feet cool. Literally I could not have done it without these shoes. A bonus was that their cute-ness kept my morale high when the moving got tough. After moving we went straight to a local punk/hardcore concert. I usually wear my boots but forgot them so wore the mary janes. I was a bit nervous about this, but they performed amazingly!! I spent almost two hours in the mosh pit, jumping around and running into people. I was so worried a strap would come undone and the shoe would fly off, but THE VELCRO STRAPS HELD THE ENTIRE TIME!! And I was never flat-tired!!! I am shocked!! Also, I was worried about being stepped on/getting them dirty but shockingly left with no major stains; this off-white lace color was resilient! Finally, I usually have post-concert back pain from so long standing at a concert, and have to do many stretches/twists/etc. But I had none today thanks to these shoes! TL;DR: I was in many physically active situations today and these shoes performed wonderfully. I bought them because I love mary janes and wanted a sneaker/comfy shoe and these exceeded all my expectations!!

Best walking shoe I've ever had. I walk flat trail/uneven surface and these shoes are always stable and confident.

These are an awesome sneaker. I love a slip on shoe and these allow you to have a slip on style shoe but still feel nice and snug with their lacing system. The padding around the ankle and heel is SO soft and comfortable. It feels like a tempur-pedic pillow for your foot/ankle. These are great for a trail but also just for normal walks or going around town. My only recommendation for improvement would be that the end of the laces/string bounces around a bit while you are walking. I have just been tucking them back under the laces to fix this but would be nice if there was something on the shoe that could do this for me. Either way, awesome shoe!

I like Merrell a lot, and these are ok. The fit is good and they are relatively comfortable. The traction looks like probably the best part. What I meant by "high sole" is that it makes you taller. The sole is fairly thick, but that also makes me feel like it could be less stable on tricky terrain. They fair hiking shoes though I use them as an all around medium duty shoe. I wish they were slip-on, but they are not at all -- another review indicated they were(?). For a hiking shoe I ended up getting and prefer the Hoka Anacapa 2 (also not slip-on ;-). Color and sizing were as-expected/good -- Size: 10.5, color: black.

I’ve been a huge Hoka fan for over a year, but these shoes changed my allegiances entirely. I’ve never owned a pair of hiking shoes offering such stability while remaining lightweight and breathable. They are sturdy, comfortable, and stylish in a way that makes them both practical and fun to wear. Highly recommend these shoes for anyone looking to add comfort and color to anything from household chores to multi-day hiking trips!
