These sport shoes are great! I love the stylish design and the button system for tying—it’s super easy to use. They’re lightweight and really functional, perfect for workouts or everyday wear. Definitely worth it!
These shoes add pep to your step! They propel you forward and make even the longest hike delightful. The boa system is great for getting the perfect fit while driving to the hike, on the hike, or post hike. With just a couple twists, the shoe fits exactly how you want without wrestling shoestrings. Very stylish and trendy, but trail worthy too. A great shoe for the trail or going into town for errands.
Thanks for the amazing feedback!
Lightweight, Stable Stance, Quick tightening and release. Has a see through top mesh so socks color will show. But it’s ok. Also, got wet in the rain, so far still intact. Might be slightly water repellent/waterproof?
Thanks for the great rating!
Very comfortable and light shoe that feels like a cross between a hiking boot and a sneaker. This is the first time I've tried BOA dials instead of shoelaces and I love them - so convenient and makes both taking them off and putting them on way faster. I do agree with the earlier reviewer who suggested wearing thicker socks because otherwise there can be some rubbing at the top from what I assume are the dials. With good socks, I don't experience any discomfort wearing these. They're TTS and were fit for a long walk right out of the box.
PRO: Looks good, cushiony/bouncy, boas are easy to adjust and stays locked in, adds height making me an inch taller or something, decent grip in slippy rocks. CON: Smaller than anticipated (I'm size 8 so I ordered size 8 but my toes are squeezed in) so wearing for like an hour is uncomfortable, wetness via foliage penetrates through the material so my socks/toes ended up getting wet while hiking, added height makes it feel unstable in uneven terrains while hiking like your about to sprain an ankle so you have to tread cautiously. RECOMMENDATION: Recommended for urban wear only and get bigger size. I wish it comes in wide.
Very lightweight shoe that has a cool lacing system so you can tighten the shoe across the entire length of your foot without fiddling with laces. It’s a very stylish shoe and I feel like I’m walking on little springs that propel me forward each step I take. The knit upper is breathable but I wouldn’t wear it in the Seattle fall/winter as the rain seeps into the shoe upper. I recommend slightly thicker socks as the hard plastic attachment point of the laces on the thin knit upper can be felt against your foot.
I love the versatility of these shoes!! I wear them walking, hiking, running, doing errands, etc. Anddd they pair well with both casual and athletic clothes. I agree with other reviewers that wearing socks with these is the way to go. Also, the adjustable dials instead of shoelaces is a new feature for me and absolutely love it.
Thank you for sharing your review with us.
These are not your typical hiking shoes!! They are super high tech feeling. I’m in love with how easy they are to put on, they tighten like snowboard boots. They feel like you are walking on a cloud. I enjoyed wearing these on hiking trails as well as paved trails. So fun and a great addition to any outdoorsy collection!
I love these shoes! They’re super hip and look good with clothes - I love how they look and fit my wardrobe. They’re pretty comfortable- I like the lacing system quite a bit too.
Best shoe i have ever had! Thank you again, Merrell.
We appreciate your great review!
