Merrell  Nova 4 Waterproof Trail-Running Shoes - Men's

Have had my shoes for only 6 months and they are falling apart. Tearing on both sides down by the toes . I thought it would hold up a lot better for only 6 months I will say this they are the most comfortable shoes I ever had. Just wish the money I paid they would last longer

Hiking all day in Dead Horse Point and Canyonlands, Utah. Bought these for my husband and he found them to be very comfortable and highly recommends them.

Bought shoes a half size larger and still ended up with swollen and soar toes. My toes are so tender it hurts to walk almost a week after the 50k.

Absolutely awful rendition of what used to be a comfortable shoe. For some reason the designers decided to place a stitched seam (where there had previously been none on the Nova 2 or 3) around the inside of the heal. Truly an awful choice that made the shoes completely unwearable. Merrell has been steadily going downhill for the last few years and it's a real bummer...they used to be fantastic in all categories of footwear, but it's unlikely I'll ever try another pair again after a variety of really sub-par experiences across different categories.

A year and a half ago, I needed to replace my shoes I used for officiating soccer matches. I did a lot of research and purchased (and returned) many other brands. The Merrell Nova 4 Waterproof was the one I did not return; and I am very happy with that decision. The shoe is very comfortable for long days on the field with enough room for my thicker socks. The Gore-Tex is great for those rainy days or dewy mornings. The large lugs on the sole are terrific on both artificial turf and real grass whether wet or dry. These are better shoes than any of the "referee" shoes listed by other companies. After more than 150 games, I need to replace them with only the heel support padding (internal) and fabric around the collar wearing out. My second pair has just been ordered!

I’ve been primarily a Moab shoe fan for quite a long time now. Every now & then I’ll try something different. The Nova 4 just might be my new Merrell shoe of choice. They take a bit of getting use to, and I’ve only been using them for a couple weeks now, but I really like the way they feel on my feet. As mentioned, it’s early but I seem to feel less foot fatigue when walking longer distances. The only thing I don’t like is the laces. I prefer a thicker lace, but that’s a minor inconvenience.

This is my second pair of nova waterproof, I mainly got them because they match my rain suit for when I bass fish and they are waterproof, they just happen to be very comfortable, the new pair has more room in the toe area which I like very much, my older pair still are in good shape except for where I got a hook caught in my shoe and had to remove it, it messed up the thread slightly, but probably I’m the only one that would notice ✌️🐸🐸🎣🎣🐸🐸🙄

I returned a pair of size 12M and re-ordered 13M. They fit snuggly, but I am disappointed by that - a whole size is not reasonable. These shoe are for daily use in colder, wintery months, not for trail running. The comfort of the Nova 4 is worse than the Nova 3 size 12M that I own and love. I have not tested them in wet weather yet, but that is about the only remaining factor that I would judge them on.

These were my first pair of Merrells. They were awesome for 5 days. Day 6 the soles began to lean outward. Soles started coming off in the toes. By the end of day 6 blisters started on the sides of my feet due to the outward lean of the soles. After day 6 I had only 60 miles in the shoes and have began looking to replace. On the bright side the waterproofing worked in the one day of rain the shoes saw

I bought the waterproof Nova 4's a couple of weeks ago. Took them out of the box and just flexed them and they made a crinkling sound. Worn them on the carpet for about an hour and I crinkled every time I walked. It sound like the waterproof membrane is made from cheap piece of cellophane. Otherwise loved the shoe but really wanted something waterproof so I had to return them.
