Excellent Fit
Originally posted on Merrell
Yes, I recommend this
I bought these about three weeks ago for hiking the Cinque Terre in Italy. I am an avid hiker. I am 66 years old and I have always had to spend time breaking in boots, NOT these! Excellent fit from the first step. The sole grip is spot on. The lightweight is perfect for traveling. Plenty of room in the toe box. I usually wear 8.5 US, I sized up to a nine. After two full days of hiking on steep ascents and difficult descents and loads of rocky trails, my feet didn't get a single hotspot or blister. I hope these shoes last, because I really like them.

I have never had a Merrill that I haven’t loved from day 1 - this is no expectation. Sturdy and comfortable.

I brought these to Yellowstone and Grand Tetons and they were perfect for our hikes! So comfortable, never needed breaking in although I did wear them around the house for a half day first. I measure at an 8 medium but bought a 9.

Unwearable...
Originally posted on Merrell
No, I don't recommend this
At first the shoe seemed comfortable after trying them out inside... but my first time wearing them on a short hike, I ended up with bad rubs under both ankles on both sides of the shoe. I figured they'd need a little break in, so I stopped wearin them while I healed up and tried them one more time. This time I wore them for a day of errand running..so very light use. The shoe caused sore spots on the top of my arch where the laces/tongue put pressure. I adjusted them several times to try to correct the pressure, and still I got a very red and sore spot on the top of each foot. So I've not worn them again..barely used them twice and sadly, I need to just give them away. I'd return them if I could but now I've worn them and damaged my feet twice, I'm stuck with them. I've been a Merrel customer for years so this is upsetting and sad to have such a bad experience.

I ordered a second pair of these hiking shoes. I ordered a 9.5 and they were to small. I exchanged then for a 10 and now there a little to big. I need them for an upcoming trip, so a little bigger is better than too small.

Great Shoe!

This shoe has delivered from day one, and then some. Virtually no break in period. I wore them twice, then did a 20-mile hiking challenge. My feet are wide but felt comfortable every step of the way. Highly suggest!

Not a good fit for me
Originally posted on Merrell

Fabric on top of shoe buclkes at toe crease creates pressure, not comfortable for me, lots of blisters, ball of foot does not seem to have much cushion. Thinking of getting insoles - maybe will help

Truly great shoes

I always wear hiking shoes instead of regular walking/running shoes because I like the treads.

Second time buying these shoes
Originally posted on Merrell
Second purchase of these trail shoes! The first purchase was to train for an ultra marathon on the long trails days. The second time was to replace the first pair. They lasted a solid 12 months for heavy mileage on the weekends, then daily use as my everyday shoe for the later 6 months. So comfortable with my customs inserts.

Design change hurts my feet.
Originally posted on Merrell
These were my fourth pair of Moab Floatpros. The design has changed to make the toe area more narrow and they hurt my feet. I cannot wear and would love to return for either a more comfortable show or a refund.

Moab Speed 2

As always, Merrell lives up to expectations of good fit, instant comfortability, solid support. I have plantar fascitis and it's only in Merrell's that it doesn't flare up. I can hike for miles and miles and nothing hurts, rubs or pinches. That's what makes a great shoe!

Comfy Hiking Shoes!
Yes, I recommend this
I have a couple of other Merrell shoes/boots and always find them comfortable to wear straight out of the box! I was looking for a pair of lightweight hiking trainers for a marathon hike over undulating terrain and I knew Merrell would be my best option. These trainers are incredibly comfortable, they have a wide toe box and cushioned insole. The tread is excellent for uneven / off-road walking and hiking, especially with the Vibram sole. I'm a size 4 and typically size up to a 5 in running or hiking shoes to allow for feet swelling and thicker socks, but I could have probably got away with a 4.5 in these (had they been available), so I'd say they run a little large. Nonetheless, they still fit well and don't slip on the heel due to the ability to lock the laces. The colour is nice as well, ideal for spring/summer! I'm already thinking about getting a Goretex pair for inclement weather!

Great shoe, runs small
Originally posted on Merrell
Yes, I recommend this
The quality and comfort of this shoe is 5/5. My only complaint is that it runs small. I wear a size 11, but this shoe fit like a size 10. Don't hesitate to buy this shoe just make sure you size up.
