I wear a 12W; have bunions and a relatively narrow heel. These shoes fit and wore fabulously right out of the box. The day I received them I wore them a few hours around the house; the next day these hikers too me on a 6+ mile hike up and down and mountain on a very rocky trail in BBNP. Not one part of my feet complained. No pain, no blisters. Wore a good brand of socks for hiking. I highly recommend!
I'd also recommend:
ASICS have a wide toe box also - for those of us with bunions. I don't have problems with my arches.

These are the most comfortable boots I have ever owned. I need a wide fit because of bunions and also needed the removable insole because I wear orthotics. The uppers are supportive and have the flexibility of an athletic shoe — a great combination. I’ve worn these several times on snowy paths and they really are waterproof. Really a great purchase.

Ultimately I had to return because of the fit. Wide width seems less wide than on other shoes, and I should have sized up to a 9.5 wide. The colors are awesome. It feels more like a running shoe than a hiking boot, very lightweight. The boots don't seen very breathable, definitely better for cool, damp weather. I was looking for a hiking boot to wear in warmer weather so the zion isn't for me sadly.

No surprises with this boot, which is nice! I wear a 9 or 9.5 & went with the larger size. It feels great and love the ankle support for rocky trails. Definitely a winner.

Favorite shoes I’ve ever owned. My ankles feel stable. Plenty of tread even on ice and my feet never hurt even after hours of hiking.

Love these! I need a wide toe box and these were perfect. It took these out of the box and the fit was like magic. I put them to immediate use for long days with no problem. Many, many hiking boots preceded these…only to be donated after a few uses…including lots of keens, and these are far and away the best ever!

I loved the light feel and width that was perfect for my feet which swelled a little during my hike. My feet were able to breathe because of the material used and the traction was perfect for wet to dry rocks. I would recommend not just for the cool colors - but the width size for wide feet did not disappoint at all.

Don't hesitate...buy them! Merrell, make more in this sizing, both boots and shoes, please! I was astonished when I put them on that they fit. I usually try 25 pairs or more to find hiking boots. Great toe depth. No heel gap. And, I desperately needed them. Wore them for 9+hours two days after they arrived, and had no issues. Did I tell you I am in love...except for the name "unlikely hikers"...it is a bit offensive.

I have avoided hiking boots for a long time because they always gave me blisters. I want get into more hiking so some friends recommended these and I'm so glad. Finally a comfortable pair and they look cool too!

These are my first pair of hiking boots and I was nervous that they were going to be too bulky or too heavy. Well after getting them and trying them out they are super comfy and durable! They are lightweight and great just for walking around my local trails. The color is my favorite.

These are by far the best wide shoes I have ever bought. They really are wide and my toes have room to wiggle. I normally have problems with corns that can be very painful when I walk with shoes on. No pain with these shoes. I absolutely love them!

I've worn them on 3 day hikes so far and it's true!! I didn't have to break them in!! I definitely recommend ordering in the wide, I usually never do and I read lots of reviews recommending the wider size and I'm so glad I did. The shoes feel awesome!! I can't pin point my favorite thing about it because there are too many to choose from!

I love these shoes so much! I purchased them less than 2 months ago, and have already taken them on several hikes and nature walks. They are super comfortable, and very cute. I get lots of compliments on them. As someone who is inclined toward twisting my ankle on a regular basis, it's also great to have the extra ankle support.

Just finished hiking "The Wave" thanks to my Zion boots, I was able to make the trip without the worry of hurting already weak ankles, supper supportive & super lightweight.

So far I have only gone on 2 hikes with these boots, so durability is still to be determined, but as far as I can tell, they work great! I purchased a wide boot and the toe box was perfect! I don't think I realized how squished my toes were in my last boots. Broke my boots in with a 4-mile and 5-mile hike two days in a row and have no blisters or soreness. So far, I think they are perfect!

Awesome shoe for both snow and dry hiking conditions. I worse these in Utah after skiing through various terrain conditions and they were both warm and comfortable. I didn't realize I needed a wide shoe until wearing these. Very stable footing even while wading through shallow water. Would recommend for anyone who plans to be in a variety of climates!
