Customer Reviews Merrell Haven Bluff Polar Waterproof

I wanted a pair of short boots to slip on for quick trips out of the house in winter. For me, the most important features were 1) ease of slipping on; 2) enough support for walks of a mile or two; 3) not hideous; 4) comfortable enough inside to wear with bare feet (e.g., for walking to yoga studio); 5) reasonably weatherproof. These check the boxes. They could be cuter, but they're fine. Keeping. Some reviewers say they fit tightly. I found them loose. I ordered my usual size, 9. There's plenty of room for heavy socks come winter.

I LOVE THESE BOOTS! Right off the bat I did 12,000 steps as if I’d been wearing them for months and they were so comfortable and supportive. I have plantar fasciitis, so I stick with Merrells and Vionics, and these are such a great deal, very stylish, not too heavy, GREAT grippy tread, even in slippery areas and very warm!

These looked great and I thought they would be the perfect booties to throw on for errands and walking the dog. Unfortunately these are so difficult to get on my feet that they are going back. I ordered my usual size and normally Merrells fit me perfectly but these were such a struggle to get on I didn’t even bother walking around to see if they worked.

I bought these a year ago for work. I work outside in the PNW, and do a lot of walking and standing on concrete. Before the end of last winter the seal around one toe began to let water in. After one day of wear this fall, my heels hurt so much from the lack of cushioning that I couldn’t wait to get them off. Some merrells are great and I would buy again and again, but not these. I expect high quality and expensive shoes to last a couple of years at least.

Great shoes! Wore them all weekend in Park City for my first wear and feet were never tired. Will definitely buy another color! Received multiple compliments on them every day I’ve worn them!

Like another review mentioned, couldn't even get these on my feet. They need a zipper. Otherwise I love the style, but if I can't even pull them on my feet with thin socks on then it's a no-go.

These are very cute boots. The material has a good texture. I can't wait to wear them this winter. They do not hug my foot, heel slips, so they will not be for long walks. They fit me more like a clog.

a little snug to get on. Felt comfortable but I have a bad heal and I wasn't sure if they had enough cushion.

I like Merrell, wanted to like these for their convenience of pull on, and thick, comfortable foot bed and it being a nice rain boot. However, they run a little narrow, and too much pressure against the width of my feet. I didn't want to go half size up as length wise, they were fine. Not a shoe to walk much in as the pressure against the width of your feet will start to hurt.

If you have wide feet you will need to size up. I normally wear an 8 1/2 wide. the 8 1/2 were so narrow i could barely get my foot in. I kept a 9 which are a little long for me but will do the job. My heal slips a lot so they will be only good for shorter walks. The food bed does have an arch so if you are flat footed you may find it a bit much. I would prefer a softer food bed for this style of boot. over all these boots are ok. I will use them as I need something but wont be ordering again.

Boots are waterproof and comfortable. The insides are nicely lined and warm. They are actually more stylish than I expected. My right foot slips easily into the boot; my left foot is slightly larger and I have to struggle to pull it on, but once on, the boots fit great with a thin sock. If I wanted to wear a thicker sock, I would need to size up a half to a full size.

I wish I could have this front and center. There is no give when you are putting this on at all and the instep is not generous. So although they fit great and are adorable once you get them on.....you need to be able to step into them. I need to return and get a 1/2 size bigger.

These boots are very cute and warm. I would say they are mostly waterproof but maybe not in a torrential rain. They run big - I usually wear a 9.5 but had to size down to a 9. The 9.5 felt way too roomy. The 9 fits but is a little snug, both in length and width (I have a narrow foot so the width works for me). The biggest downside is they feel really hard - they need more cushion! I like them and wear them but they could definitely be more comfy.

Could not pull on.

These boots are narrow and have no give, so no chance on stretching out after wearing. I tried a half-size larger, too, but still too uncomfortable to keep.

These boots are very comfy, waterproof, easy to put on, too. No ankle support. But I was not expecting any.

They are comfortable, ordered my regular size.

EXACTLY what I was looking for! Warm, comfortable and easy to slip on and off.
