Bought these for work. I do fiberglass boat repair, better than a hiking test. After a week of climbing stairs, ladders, walk arounds, staging planks (wood), crawling, squatting ,kneeling, bending, sitting, standing in/on unknown liquids, these are fantastic shoes. Hope they last, gonna be a crazy season.

This shoe is in no way a hiking shoe as advertised. Unless walking on a perfectly groomed flat trail the support and stability are terrible. Very cushioned /soft sole more like a running shoe. Took a moderate 5 mile hike over varied terrain and the cushioning flattened out almost immediately ( body weight 195 pounds with a 20 pound pack).Shoe is also hot when used in warmer conditions due to combination of outer material and waterproof membrane . May be an ok trail runner for a lightweight individual, otherwise look elsewhere.

I'm normally a size 11, purchased a pair of these in 11 and 10.5 and realized the 11 were far too big so I kept the 10.5. After wearing them for a few days I realized they were still too large which was a major bummer because they were $139 and no longer qualify as a return item. I love how comfortable they are so I went ahead and ordered a size 10 which fit me perfect which is a bit strange since I'm a size 11 in most other shoes. Just a heads up Merrell's must run very large. I use them for work and they are great, they are also a great shoe during winter months because they have excellent grip and are waterproof.

I bought these when I was living in Oregon and with all of the rain there, they were awesome. Now that I live in San Diego, I don't wear them as often, but I really appreciate them on a rainy day.

I bought these to use as an all-around shoe that I could take on our family vacation to Florida, to be used in multiple situations, so that I wouldn't need to pack several pairs of shoes: golfing, Disney World, walking, moderate hiking. Glad to say these worked out fantastically and just as I wanted!

We did winter hiking in Wind cave national park. These did great across the terrain and in fresh powdery snow. They also we're great for hiking up the icy cliff to community caves in Spearfish Canyon.

I really am enjoying my Altalight Waterproof shoes due to the fit, comfort, and utility. I use them to walk, hike, train with my German Shorthair Pointer. Traction, warm, and waterproofness are key to enjoying the winters with her in New England.

These are light, very waterproof and sturdy. Grips are good for snow and slush. Wish they were a little less expensive though.

I have been wearing Merrell shoes for over 20 years. My go to shoes are Moab's but as I do a lot of hiking in the Catskill mountains I tried several brands of top of the line hiking boots, none of which turned out to be comfortable. I decided to give the Altalight Waterproof a try. I knew there was something different as soon as I put them on. I soon figured out it was the lateral stability! Wow, try as I may I can't roll my ankles in these shoes! Then I noticed something else. After several hikes I found that the Altalight's seemed to have molded to my feet! Seriously these are the most comfortable shoes I've ever had. In fact I'm looking to buy another pair for every day use (sorry Moab's :)

The shoe was spectacular! it was better than expected, it is definitely light and comfortable and plenty of traction.I just hope they continue to make this shoe and don't discontinue it like some of the others in the past that I have enjoyed. So I will be ordering another pair just in case.and I wish they would make the non-waterproof pairs with colored soles instead of white.

I purchased the butternut color. Such an awesome shoe! Super light. Comfortable right out of the box. Very breathable. I'm looking forward to rocking these regularly. True to size (purchased a size 12).

Great shoes. Very comfortable. I'm a mailman, so they definitely got their use. Wish the waterproofing would last a bit longer tho.

Purchased these to wear everyday working on a golf course. These shoes exceeded my expectations. Keep my feet dry and breathe very welL. Comfortable but not too soft. They got it right with this shoe.

It took a little while longer than it should have to receive these new Altalights but it was worth the wait. I love them. Right out of the box, they are fast & light and don't hurt one bit. The only complaint I have is that they are showing a LOT of wear already. I got the black on black ones and they certainly don't look only 2 weeks old. More like 2 months. I am a little concerned that they won't last but that remains to be seen. That being said, I'm walking about 100m per month so that may be the problem...
