Bought these as a backup pair for a hiking trip up mountains in Red Rocks, JTree, and Zion. Ended up being the only pair I wore and I’d recommend them to anyone. I have narrow feet and a high arch and the support was perfect. They held up to wet mud and loose gravel easily and kept my feet warm and dry when worn with good quality wool socks. I’m usually a size 7.5 but had to exchange them for a size 8.
Taylor, We hope you enjoy many adventures in your Merrells!
Such. Comfortable high cushion shoe. They feel great for long distance hiking
I have narrow feet so it's been difficult finding hiking shoes that are not to bulky yet comfortable. After trying on 8 pairs of different trail shoes, these were it!!! I Love that they are super comfortable just like a sneaker but sturdy going up & down hills. Excellent grip & traction. Didn't slip at all. Wow. Shoe laces are great not flimsy or cheap. The color is attractive. Use them to go hiking for a few hours. Just put them on & go, no need to break them in. Again, the best low hiking shoes ever! I'm super impressed and totally recommend them.
Hard ti compare to any other hiking shoes since this is my first pair of this type of shoe, but they were comfortable and felt very sturdy with good support. Hiked in Death Valley over sand dunes and salt beds mostly and desert terrain, nothing crazy but felt very good walking/hiking in them. Only gripe I have is that they are a pain to take off/on. Once on, don’t plan on taking them on/off often as it was difficult due to the precise fit of the shoes.
3 months after purchase, both shoes developed holes in the mesh covering, in the same location. Comfortable shoes, but this shouldn't happen.
Amazingly comfortable hiking shoe. Took to both rocky and slippery terrain, and quickly felt confident in the grip. Used this shoe for two straight weeks with no break in time, and it served me well, without an instance of foot pain or blisters. Runs a tad bit big for my usual size, returned my normal size for a half size down. Might have fit a whole size down, but with good socks for cold weather, the half size down worked fine.
Unfortunately my usual size, women's 8.5, fits a bit tight. It also felt like the toe box wasn't roomy like Merrell shoes used to be. Their toe boxes used to be roomy and comfortable, leaving plenty of room to wiggle my toes without constriction. Just looking at these, it seems like a more constrictive design in the toe box than their shoes used to have, which is a shame. Still, I have ordered a size larger and I'm hoping for the best. They don't feel especially cushioned, but they do have some cushioning - the soles are not hard. I do appreciate that the color is all black.
This is a great and comfortable hiking shoe with lots of support and cushioning in the sole. I’m taking off one star because I find the foot hole to be a bit too big so there is minimal ankle support. I am going to get some arch support inserts for these shoes (because even though there is good support, I have high arches and could feel the wear on them after a day of hiking) and I’m hoping that might help reposition my foot in the hiking shoe so that it doesn’t feel as loose in the ankle. I’m definitely looking forward to continuing to break these in on many hikes throughout the summer!
One of the features of this shoe is supposed to be a bellows tongue to keep out debris. However my shoes arrived today and the tongue is detached at the sides (see photo 1), not attached like a bellows (see example photo 2). Have reached out to customer service.
I have worn these shoes on four short hikes/approaches to go climbing. They are already showing quite a bit of wear. I was hoping that these would last for a few seasons especially since I am not using them for longer day hikes.
