Go to shoes for solo fast paced hiking

Love these shoes so much, took them on a 7 mile hike (icehouse trailhead in CA) no complaints and all the traction i could need, did notice that when wet i would loose a little traction but on the trail they dry quick making them perform at there best when i needed them. Getting a second pair for the dry trails i go on, these are beautiful to casually wear.

Nice Shoe

Nice light shoe. It's not soft and squishy like a thick Altra sole, it's a firmer sole if that's what your looking for. For the price it's a great shoe.

Love the Shoe, Hard to Clean
Originally posted on Merrell

Shoe is very comfortable, wore them in Sedona and the red rocks ruined them. Shoes are now orange and won't come clean. Also, they are not waterproof and even a little water made them quickly seep through.

Great Comfy shoe

The nubs on the bottom sometimes make for unstable footing on flat ground but they have great traction on snow and turf.

Better than expected
Originally posted on Merrell

I have had way too many foot surgeries. I have been trying to find a comfortable walking shoe for every day. I have purchased plenty of so called orthopedic shoes. These shoes are more comfortable and I walk better in them vs the “orthopedic” shoes. The other best part is they are a lot less expensive

Poor quality control
Originally posted on Merrell
No, I don't recommend this
I love Merrell as a brand and these shoes looked very comfortable for running. However, upon receiving, I realized that only the left insole had a bump that set my entire leg in pain within 30 minutes of workout. Had to return these.

Perfect shoe for Kilimanjaro
Originally posted on Merrell
Yes, I recommend this
Got size 14, runs true to size. Comfortable out of the box, did not break in before climb. Only issue was slightly tight toebox coming off the mountain but you drop 14K ft in 2 days, a challenge for any shoe. Size one up possibly for this climb?? Finished trek with toenails intact!

Only down size is they dont go in wide

Gotta start making wide trial runners, but these beauties will do with altered lacing patterns. Just wish for a slightly better fit

Great winter weather walking shoes
Originally posted on Merrell
Yes, I recommend this
Comfortable for dog walking in the rain and light snow as well as muddy trails. Feet stay dry. Stack height is a little higher than I’m used to but the cushion is worth it. Soles are a bit stiffer considering this is primarily a trail shoe. But, the rocker heel helps offset this. Highly recommend even for city dwellers in the wet/winter season.

Awesome waterproof hikers!

Can't say enough good about these, so comfortable right out of the box, really light and the Vibram outsole is second to none, perfect. Love the colorway of these shoes, look better in person. These should stand the test of time.

Very good quality shoe, but not designed for all
Originally posted on Merrell
The shoes are well-constructed, and the water-proofing has been effective so far. As others have mentioned, the shoe laces are far too short making it next to impossible to use the last lace eyelet and get a really secure heal-lock. I had to replace the insole with one that adds heal height as I could not get used to the lower drop - these are not standard 12mm drop shoes and felt like my heels were below my forefoot. They work alright, but it's not perfect. I'm using for the winter as a waterproof do-all which for me includes short runs, dog walking and school drops. The traction is good on all surfaces despite being trail-ready. after 1 month of light to medium use, the tread is not yet showing signs of wear.

The Perfect Hiking Shoe

This is a great shoe - I use this shoe for walking the dog and hiking in general - excellent waterproof capabilities and fantastic grip. I feel like Cinderella - I looked for a long tie to find a shoe that fit properly and was waterproof.
