These shoes are so dang comfortable! I do a lot of walking during the day on concrete with my job and these are da bomb diggity! I love the Merrel style and comfort. I guess that is why I own six pairs.

Second pair of these, haven\'t found a more comfortable shoe yet. Sole seems to wear a little fast, but I am also in them on concrete 10 hours a day or more. Customer service was incredible! Ordered these at 6:30 Saturday night, and had them on Monday! Thanks Zappos, I will be purchasing here again.

Very comfortable and well cushioned. Rugged looking and stylish especially in the black color. I'm normally size 11.5 and had to move up to a 12.

I recently got a pair of these to use for light hiking, exercising, & to look better than regular sneakers when paired with jeans.
They excel on all fronts, though I do wish I had read the other reviews stating to go up a half size from usual, as it wasn't that apparent until after I wore them out on a trail. I can still use them, but the toe box is a bit small & my big toe can touch the front on the inside when going downhill, so I'm wishing I had gotten a size 11 instead of a 10.5 for them.

The Merrell Intercept is a very nice shoe that can be used for walking, running, trail running, or looking better than a regular pair of sneakers with jeans and a T-shirt. I normally wear a 10.5 in most of my shoes, but these feel a little shorter than normal, so I would recommend going up a half size from usual.

I have worn the first pair of these for a year and just ordered another pair today. These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned and am glad they still make them. My old pair aren’t worn or showing wear, just wanted a different color. Trust me, you will be hard pressed to find a more comfortable shoe, especially if you have plantar fasciitis as I do in my heel which is very uncomfortable if you walk or stand a lot. I love ‘em.

Order a size larger than what you normally wear, most Merrells I have worn run a little small and this was no exception. I normally wear size 13, but I had to get a size 14 in this shoe. The only 14 I have ever owned. Looks good with both jeans and khaki's. I use as an everyday work shoe for the most part. However, I do take my kids on hikes occasionally at a local state park and this shoe performs well on light to moderate trails.

I have had my Intercepts for 2 years now and they are still kickin. I have built dirt jumps, worked on 2 different golf courses, day hiked, jogged, landscaped, construction, rode bmx, and gone to dinner in these shoes. I have never treated the leather and it still looks good after 20+ times in the washer. I did tear the vented leather panel on the inside of the right shoe by using a shovel for long periods of time. I did notice when I day hiked in them that they were a little narrow across my toes and my toes seemed to slide forward into the toe cap on the descents. For everything else they are an awesome shoe, hope to buy another pair.

My wife and I went to Paris for a week, and we were really trying to bring just one pair of shoes. I have Brooks running shoes, but I wanted something rugged and that would be comfortable. These shoes are amazing! Love them, fit great, and would buy them again. Just remember, in France...you are going to walk a lot!

Bought this shoe as a summer time hiker, and was not dissapointed. It is light, breathes well, and has cushioning in a class by itself. On top of this, it is aesthetically pleasing as well. HOWEVER, make sure you try on a 1/2 size larger than you normally wear, as they run small.
As much as i like these shoes, i can only wear them in short bursts due to scrunched up toes.

I've worn these shoes for a few weeks now and they feel great! They were good out of the box and served me well today. I have been fighting heel pain for several years. These shoes along with a pair of Brooks (also bought at Zappos) are giving me the support and cushion I've been needing! Thank you Zappos for the fab. customer service!

bought these shoes about a year ago and I lovem. It was between these and a pair of New Balance, and when I tried these on WHAT A BIG DIFFERENCE these shoes where made for walking and I do plenty of that I'm a UPS driver. Only drawback they need to make them one width wider. My next pair the Intercept Gore-Tex for rainy days.

I bought this due to very favorable reviews -- and I am not disappointed. I am a big fan of Keens, have quite a few in my closet, so it was with some trepidation that I placed my order for these Merrell's. In particular, I find many shoes are too narrow for my feet -- the Merrell's have turned out to fit very nicely and sufficiently wide for me. I hiked all over Sedona Arizona and they held up fantastically with nary a blister to show for my efforts. They were especially excellent on rock surfaces, providing excellent traction and support. They are still dressy looking enough that I can wear them to work. Compared to Keens, they are similar in comfort. My Keens seem to have softer, cushier soles and they don't seem to be quite as stiff feeling. However, I often get a blister on my heel the first time I wear one of my Keens. Overall, I love these Merrell's and I definitely would get another pair and recommend them highly.

I was really please with the selection of Merrell shoes and boots on Zappos. I ordered them with ease online and had them shipped to an overseas APO address. I received them alot quicker than I thought I would. I tried them on and unfortunately they were one half size too small. They had my size in stock so I called and spoke to a very friendly and helpful assistant. She immediately sent out the correct size without delay. Normally, I would be required to wait until my return was received but not Zappos. I will return to Zappos for all of my future, online shoe purchases. Thanks a million, Brendan

Fantastic shoe for walking around, hiking, or a casual day at work. One thing, if you're a 10.5 in a Nike, you'll need an 11 in these, they seem to run a bit small.

Man, these shoes are great! I've tried Merrell's in the past and they typically have been about 1/2 size small on my right foot (big toes you know). But they appear to have either fixed it, or my foot shrunk. (I think I will agree that they have fixed it). Anyway, they have great arch support and fit like a glove. With a little more wear, they definitely will stretch some and are going to be my faves. Way to go Zappos (and Merrell)!

Well-made, excellent shoe. Lightweight, yet sturdy. Comfortable & supportive. Seems to run 1/2 size smaller than expected - had to return for 1/2 size up - excellent service as always from Zappos. Would buy another Merrell shoe.

These shoes fit like a glove! They are great for outdoor running and hiking. This is my first tennis shoe type Merrells and I couldn't be happier! They are soo comfortable. Even more impressive than the shoes is the service from Zappos! Lightning fast delivery too! Thanks Zappos!

I picked up a pair of these about a month ago. The rubber sole is quite aggressive and tracks well on ice, snow, and probably just about anything else. I am usually a size 8 on most sneakers and boots, but a 7.5 fits me perfect for these. Also, the laces are about twice as long as they need to be, but who cares. Overall, I think the Merrell Intercepts are really comfortable, and look great.

I wear these shoes almost daily and can\'t describe how comfortable they are.I will continue to buy these until they discontinue them. I also have other Merrell shoes and flip flops and were nothing else.I am flat footed and have plantar fasciitis in my left heel and these are the only shoes I own that do not make my foot hurt. They are a little expensive but they are worth it to me.

Bought a pair of these just under a month ago. These have quickly become my favorite shoes to wear. I love the style, the fit and the comfort level. Now if I only had enough cash on hand to go buy a couple extra pair to throw in the closet for when these wear out. I will most definitely try Merrell first when it comes time to pick up a new pair of shoes.

This is a follow-up to my review of December 12. Just got back from Europe. The weather was nasty: rain, snow, cold. I lived in these shoes for seven days. Excellent product. Highly recommended.
