excellent hiking shoe. Absolutely waterproof. I wear orthotics but did not need to in this shoe. The support, especially in the arch, is great. Highly recommend this show.

Merrell is usually a good fit for my size 11 narrow heel but bunion great toe and these were no exception.
I particularly like the firm solid sole (don't get if you like real flexible soles). These will be fine for hiking.
I compared with Asolo Outlaw, Vasque Inhaler II, Columbia Grand Canyon OutDry and Merrel Siren Edge.
I wish they would make more monotone colors vs all the flash.

Great shoe! Good fit. No need for arch supports with this style. I am a professional Disc Golfer. I walk many miles on DG courses. And my feet feel amazing after my rounds. Thanks.

Loved the look and the cushioning support, but the seam that runs across the top of the front of the shoe was uncomfortable. I have arthritis in the MP joints of both feet and this shoe put pressure on that area.

Great hiking shoe. I bought this for a trip to Switzerland where we will be walking a lot outdoors. I tried them out this weekend on a local hike and was very pleased with the comfort and stability. The tread is very good too. I felt very secure and my ankles felt supported. I am really excited to bring these great shoes on my trip! Haven't tested the waterproofing yet but here's hoping!

I ordered this and the capra bolt without waterproofing. They both for the same and I kept the non waterproofed version only because I worried about the breathability of the waterproof shoes in the hot, humid TN summer. I'm sure I will regret this decision when I take a trip to Glacier NP this summer, but for now I'm happy! They are a typical clunky athletic shoe- a bit on the heavy side.

These fit great! Finally, this is a Merrell that is not too wide! These also work well with orthotics as I did not need to remove the insole. Love how well they fit and cannot wait to walk the dog in them!

I own the high top hiking boot and they are so comfortable and helped with some back issues so I ordered these and they are just as comfortable. Neither pair required any break in period.
In hiking boots I always get a 9, in sneakers it could be a 8 1/2 or 9. These in the 9 fit perfect.
I do use my own orthotics and they fit fine

These fit and were comfortable right out of the box. They are definitely waterproof -- a feature I really enjoy. I where these as an everyday shoe and a hiking shoe.

This shoe is warm, waterproof, comfortable, and provides stability in various activities from running errands to hiking. It might be too warm for the summer season, not sure on the breathability in hot weather, but in cool springtime weather it's perfect. As for size, many shoes do not come in 10.5 so I'm used to wearing 11. However I tried the 10.5 in this show and it fits exactly as it should, a great fit on my foot with athletic socks (I haven't tried to fit in winter socks but the shoes are so warm you wouldn't need them anyway).

Loved these shoes. I am between a 7 and 7.5, for sneakers I always go up because it is better to have a little more room in the toe box. These shoes are super comfortable, provide excellent traction and support during hikes. I bought the pine grove color, which isn't bad (for hiking boots) which always seems to be a challenge. Highly recommend. Will probably buy the high top version of these in the future if I think it's necessary.

Merrell never disappoints. I work in the service industry. I'm on my feet constantly. Because of my field of work I blow through shoes. I've been wearing Merrells to work in for a few years now and I have no major complaints.

Great ready for action shoes! I needed a new pair of waterproof shoes and was happy with my previous Merrells (which lasted a few years of hard use before losing their waterproofness and cushioning). I ordered my usual size 10 and was happy that they fit just right with a pair of socks- even thick ones. My feet are long, but have medium width and are slender. They felt a little stiff the first few wearings just from being new. They are feeling great and I'm happy with the colors. And thanks to Merrell for adding a pull on loop on back to help with putting them on easily!
I wear them for walks and hikes and for everyday active life with little kids while living on a mountainside. Great for rainy days all year round.

loved these shoes! after researching different models and brands I found the perfect pair for my hikes around Yosemite. I was a first time hiker and was very happy that these shoes are good to go straight out of the box. no break in needed. after reading the reviews i decided to order a half size bigger and it was perfect (especially with thick hiking socks.

Finally, a shoe I can hike in that is flexible enough to not make my feet hurt! My feet need flexibility more than protection, but these are also reasonably protective, a bit more than the average running shoe. I've only been searching for a hiking shoe I can bear to wear for about twenty years, and now it appears I've found it. The only slight negative is the large heel profile, which is standard but has never felt natural to me. And did I mention they're waterproof?

I got these shoes when they were on sale, which did have a big part in my decision. That said, I felt that they really hugged my feet and gave it nice support. Of all the shoes I tried, these fit the snuggest. I like the grip on the soles and the weightless feel.

Loved the look of this shoe. Excellent treads for walking the hills. Lacing system east to use.
Very comfortable on my feet while sitting and standing. But the minute I walked across the room, the back of the shoe rubbed on every surface all the way around my heels and lower ankles. I tried readjusting, tightening, the upper laces, using the extra holes. But I could not get them to stop rubbing.

Nice looking and feeling shoe, but felt a 1/2 size too small. Once I tried these with standard thickness socks it felt wayyyy too small. Good support, light weight for this style, order a 1/2 size up in my opinion.

Very bright shoe with a sturdy base . Seems pretty warm so I wouldn't advise use in warm weather, maybe that particular material used is what keeps it waterproof. I'd use for added arch support since it's minimal in my opinion.

These are great, comfortable and fit true to size. I am a long distance hiker and bought them as a lightweight pair of hiking shoes for when I'm carrying less than 30lbs which is almost always. So far I've just worn them around town, but they are comfortable, light, and seem very grippy.

Really like the styling on this shoe. Good walking support without being too clunky on the feet. Light weight but still feels supportive. I have high arches and this shoe is adequate for me.

I was looking for a wider or more squarish style boots. i had one by Merrell from few years back. Sadly on the picture it looked like it was like that but they are rounded.
