Merrell made a disastrous decision to introduce this product. The source materials for this shoe are of inferior quality to the previous Speed 2 to the point that the TPU upper around the toe box rubbed blisters on my foot being worn solely inside to test the product fit….. The upper is rigid & the support panel over the toes inside the shoe where the outside upper is sewn has sharp edges & bundled threading……thus causing immediate discomfort….. Basically it’s a cheap “ plastic shoe “….!!! Totally unwearable in any trail running environment…..not worth $50….. Product will fail miserable for Merrell & will ultimately have to be marked way down to attract uninformed buyers….. Merrell over the last several years has chosen to utilize inferior source materials & cheaper manufacturing options on many of their product lines This has resulted in severe quality loss & overall customer dissatisfaction….. True outdoor enthusiasts & competitive athletes have moved to higher end brands for their gear…..
Great shoe for Disc Golf. Great with off-road terrain. Hold up nicely to lots of foot movements. They vent well when sweating. They are holding up very well to wear and tear. Great Shoe!!
The shoe is very comfortable and fits very nicely. Love the way these shoes support my feet.
When I put these shoes on I couldn't believe the comfort. The space in the toe area is amazing along with the support all throughout my foot. This is my first experience with Merrell and after this pair it definitely won't be the last.I am quite impressed and I that is not easily achieved in footwear but Merrell delivered.
I purchased these hiking shoes just a few days before a week-long trek on the Alta Via 1 route through the Dolomites in Italy. I got frequent blisters with my old boots and figured that new boots without a break-in period couldn't be much worse...and I was right! These boots needed no break-in and I had no blisters or sore feet after 8 days and ~80+ miles of rugged trails. Traction is excellent and they are very comfortable.
Comfort with support, love the color scheme and the fact that the sole edges are not white. Would be 5 stars if Merrell offered with elastic no-tie laces. I think Merrell is missing the boat on slip ons and no-tie shoes. It’s time to go beyond the original Jungle Moc.
This shoe was recommended by a fellow Camino de Santiago hiker. I purchased it to test it out on my up coming hike in April and May. The shoe is very lite weight which make it good for travel weight. Has good all around support.
Well built and comfortable shoe. Simple drawback is the loop at the back- please make them usable- too small for even my pinky to fit in and I need it to help get on (hip issue and bending down etc). Please!
These are Hiking Shoes, not trail running shoes. I appreciate the rock plate for the rocks and roots and the Vibram soles for when the trail is slippery. I think these are a great shoe for PNW trails.
I really like this shoe, I was expecting something lighter, but then realized it’s kind of a hiking show so it’s fine. I’ll probably save it until the fall.
