Merrell  SpeedARC Matis GTX Hiking Shoes - Men's

Love it! Beware: Runs narrow! Amazing shoe!!! Keeps my feet dry & warm on long snow jogs & in wet grass! I have a somewhat narrow foot, this feels great with a thin sock & I know they’ll stretch a bit. Should be perfect. It has great support. I’ve never had a shoe with so much cushion & bounce! They feel so easy on the knees when I run! I recommend size up a half size esp if your foot is not narrow. If you have a wide foot, you probably do not want this shoe. I Ordered Men’s size 10. I’m 5’8” normally Men’s Size 10. I could probably do a 10.5 in this if I wanted a more roomy feel, or needed to wear thick socks.

I've been wearing these Merrell hiking shoes for a couple of weeks now, and they're super comfortable and supportive. I love how they look, and they've been great for casual walks and more intense hikes. It's reassuring to know that they have Vibram soles and GTX weatherproofing but most importantly I'm constantly blown away by how stylish they look and how easy it is to wear them out to non-hiking adventures as well! The Merrell SpeedARC has quickly become my favorite shoe to wear out no matter the weather.

This shoe is quite different from other trail runners I’ve had. It really has cushion and spring to it. Can wear it all day without any hot spots or sore feet after long hikes. I think the best part is the traction. This thing can hold its own on ice and slick rocks. Really love the feel to these. They are a little heavier than others out there, but the added features make up for it. Honestly, I’m still shocked these didn’t wet out walking through ice slush.

They are very supportive and comfortable! They are also wide enough. They couldn't be any better.

It's a comfortable shoe with a Vibram sole. I only buy Vibram soles, but not all Vibram soles are created equal. These have good Vibram soles. In my judgement, this shoe is not designed for hiking because it will collect mud in the space between the shoe and sole and the shoestrings are designed for kids to pull. Besides the mud problem, the shoestrings can catch sticks while walking a trail. Give me the Merrell Moah for trails. This shoe is for walking on hard surfaces in a controlled environment. Thus a 4 star rating.

When I slip these shoes on my feet and tighten the laces within seconds, I feel ready to attack my day. With the comport and support these shoes bring to my life; I can run miles, or hike through any terrain and not have a worry about the durability or comfort during my journey. When you look to buy your next shoe, this one should be your top pick. I will continue to push this shoe and spread the great word of MERRELL.

In looking for a comfortable shoe for the daily walking of our Goldador, I found the Merrell SpeedArc Matis GORE-TEX model to be a “hands down” winner. Light weight, waterproof, stable, a great fit that’s easy to get in and out of, this good looking shoe works is perfect for me and my lifestyle. I average 60 miles per week just walking and 70% of that over the last 3 weeks has been in this shoe.

Amazing support, very solid shoe. Two complaints resulting in the 4-star. I'm always an 11 in Merrell, these fit smaller (length) than normal AND the foot opening could be 1/4"-1/2" wider to allow feet to more easily slide-in. I understand the the gusseted tongue is there for the waterproof properties, but its simply too tight an opening for an average foot.

Shoe is super comfortable and I really wanted to like these, but the uppers are not that durable. The area where the inside lining meets the outside of the upper started to tear after only a couple months of use. I bought these because I thought they look cool compared to other GTX hiking shoes, but the tearing doesn’t look cool.

The best pair of shoes I've owned in ages. I was having some foot and ankle pain that is completely gone now. These shoes are comfortable, rugged, and quite waterproof. My only issue is the shoelaces have come undone and I do not know how to get them back together again. Still worthy of 5 stars.
