Fits perfectly, comfortable, light and soles grip well. I hike in Colorado. Not a winter hiking shoe but perfect on rocky, muddy or even icy trails.

I usually get size 8.5 in Merrell, however, these were truly a half size too large, seemed to be a 9. I returned them with no issues and bought a size 8 which fit perfectly like all my other 8.5 size Merrell shoes. Maybe there is a manufacturing mistake in how they are labeling the sizes, because it was exactly a half a size larger. And, It's one of the few sandals I can wear orthotics in because it has a semi closed in heal. So all in all a great shoe for me.

Trying to find sandal / watershoe and have tried 1/2 dozen different brands and styles. By far this one was the most comfortable, felt just like the Merrill Moabs I wear every day. HOWEVER, there were 2 major problems with this shoe. 1) They run HUGE. They are at a minimum a full size larger than my normal shoe size. I could try different sizes to remedy this but the next problem has me thinking I won't both. 2) The left shoe felt great - other than being WAY too long in length. But the right shoe, while still too long, felt like an entirely different shoe altogether. It was narrow and had a very uncomfortable bulge on my outer insole. I couldn't even where it around the house for 2 minutes it was that painful. I checked the tag in both shoes and bother were the size I ordered, 12 Medium. There seems to be a significant quality control problem for the left and right shoe to feel SOOOOO different. I am returning them and trying something else.

Comically missized. I have worn size 15 Merrells for many years. These Choprock Shandals are easily an inch to an inch and a half longer than my All Out Blazes. They honezy looked like Size 17 or 18 coming out of the box. They seem to run super narrow too. Sure wish Merrell would bring back the original All Out Blaze.

This is an amazing hiking and wet shoe
It slips on and stays on, holds the trail even while crossing streams
Take them off and they dry out
I've had the same pair for years now and won't give them up !

I love these shoes and bought a second pair. I wear them with a no-see sock around the house and knocking about town. I like all of the venting and they really help to keep my feet cool and comfortable in the Texas heat. With the elastic laces set with some extra give, I can put these on with no hands. At the lake or floating a river, I wear them barefoot as intended and laces tightened a bit more. There's lots of grip, before I wear the soles to almost smooth. My old-worn pair isn't "slippery" now, they just don't handle the muck as well as they used to. The Choprocks clean up nicely too. I have a relatively narrow foot (C width) and I enjoy a good fit with all of my Merrell shoes. I recommend Merrell to everyone when the subject of shoes comes up as I have never had a negative experience with any of my five pair (Moab mid-hiking boots, Moab low, Chopock Sieve).

Aways a great shoe from a great company. My last pair of Merrell shoes lasted about 10 years through trips to England, Germany, and Greece. The fit is always spot on across the entire range of shoes.

Bought these before a trip to Disneyworld. They were cool and comfortable walking 6 to 8 miles per day, and no fear of ruining leather shoes during the typical Florida rainstorms.

These sandal-shoes are extremely comfortable. I wear them with and without socks. I've taken them on long walks, to all day festivals, and just use for casual days. I would highly recommend them to anyone

Took them on my to the Caribbean and they were by far the best water shoes ever. Comfortable enough to walk around in everyday and durable enough focky shorelines.

I wanted a water shoe that was more like a shoe than a sandal, and these have been perfect. Have worn them in sand (beach), water, sidewalks, driveways, and in commercial spaces. They are very comfortable, on both sand and hard surfaces, and dry rapidly. I haven't tried them on rocks yet, but they feel as though they'll be perfect for that, too (supportive and grippy soles). They are strangely long for their respective sizes, but I found that having extra room in the toes helped to keep the sand, that inevitably collects there when walking on the beach, from jamming against my toes, and they are still comfortable for walking.

I tried my best to pack light for a recent trip to Hawaii, and these fit the bill. Comfortable, but reasonably supportive for short hikes through the hot, wet jungle environment. Although I tend to prefer the higher ankle support of my MOABs on longer treks, these are definitely nice to have for the shorter (and hotter) hikes.

Haven't used these for their intended purpose, rather as daily walkers/hikers in Mexico, Thailand and Greece. Comfortable, perform well, very happy.

I bought these several months ago and am very pleased with them. I hadn't really had a chance to put them to a test with long walks, but recently I wore them 24/7 during a recent visit to New York City. I ended up logging nearly 60k steps in three days and they performed like champs. I had zero pain and, more importantly, I found them to be consistently comfortable, supportive, and light to wear. After almost a year, they're still in top shape. This show will be in my regular rotation for day-walking shoes all year round.

I use these shoes exclusively for my seascape and sea cave photography sessions. These are brutal conditions that involve Hiking long distances on dirt and sand, descending steep cliffs, and scrambling over variable types of rocks, some very slick and some very sharp, then wading through water with strong current -all in one location. The choprock is my shoe of choice after burning through similar models by other Brands. I trust these shoes !!!
