Customer Reviews Merrell Antora 2

I absolutely love this shoe. This is my first pair of Merrell shoes. I work 12 hour shifts and have to do a lot is walking and sometimes standing. The shoes are so comfortable and offered support for walking on a concrete floor. I also received several compliments. The colors and style of the shoe is a plus. I will definitely purchase another pair of Merrell’s, in the near future.

I'm obsessed with these shoes! During the pandemic I started hiking again after many years of staying off trails. My old but reliable Vasque Sundowners are my go-to hikers and they pass the test for the Central Florida trails that have loads of roots and mud, but I will be traveling to New England this summer and wanted to have a pair of hiking shoes that are lighter than my boots but that still provide stability and good traction while also allowing for some trail running. These Merrells passed the first test on a trail with flying colors. Because it has been much drier than usual here, trails that are usually mud or packed sand are instead filled with sugar sand up to six inches deep (not sure if that's a term in all parts of the U.S. - it is sand that is fine-grained to the point of being slippery). Had I known it would be that sandy I'd have worn my Vasques as they are waterproof (which would also keep the sand out) and stop above the ankles, but I instead got to test the Merrells. To be clear, loads of sand got into the shoes through the sides (about two tablespoons poured out at the halfway point 4.5 miles into the hike) but to me this is confirmation that the shoes are breathable. I would not wear them in deep sugar sand again, but I now know that even with sand in my shoes I did not get even one blister during a 9 mile hike the first time these were worn. That's pretty remarkable. They are flexible enough to get through deep sand - a good sign they will be great runners on a more suitable trail - but the tread is grippy enough to hang on to roots that are also covered in the slippery sand. That these come in the awesome rainbow design is an added bonus!

I love these shoes but they are not for indoor use static shock like crazy I needed more traction but this is specifically designed for outdoors. Don’t wear on carpet unless you want to be especially shocking!

Super comfy. Love the colors. Plenty of room, actually feel a little wide for a normal width shoe.

Not durable. Upper part on both shoes started fraying after wearing for a handful of days. Super surprising for this brand.

Love my Merrells! Went for a run immediately and they felt perfect, as usual.

I've been wearing these on evening walks around the neighborhood to break them in before a big trip with hiking. They certainly are grippy, which is excellent. I specifically chose Merrell's because all previous pairs I've owned were very comfortable-- so far these aren't as comfortable as I expected, but I'll continue to break them in and hope for the best. I ordered this pair in Marine and am loving the color!

Once again a pair of shoes that made my feet burn; not sure if it’s the fit or the material. Standing still was the worst, actual walking was so-so. Wasn’t too sure about this “rainbow” pattern but it was actually quite stylish but then again I’m 58! I am searching for a pair of great walking shoes so I can stop using my sore feet as an excuse for not exercising!

I LOVE these sneakers. I use them for hiking in the wooded paths and walking on pavement, working in my studio and gardening. They color is cheerful and fun. I love the rainbow soles.

Merrell's have never been the shoe that is made for my type of foot where my Big toe isn't my longest my 2nd and 3rd toes are. Looking these Antora's 2 I decided to give them a try. My running shoes are size 8.5 M but these run a little smaller plus the toe box is also the problem due to the angle design. My first run was 5 miles which it was to test them, Wasn't too bad but the next run 13.5 miles that's when they felt small. my toes were hitting the front of the shoe and also the narrowness was uncomfortable. I should have worn them in the house first, now I can NOT return them. Get a 1/2 size bigger from your normal size.

These are the most comfortable sneakers I have ever owned. I love the colors and have gotten so many compliments.

I have recently learned that I have a supine gait and I was looking for shoes that would help to correct this issue. These shoes do just that. I could Immediately feel the difference, and walking is so much more comfortable for me. I felt silly ordering these multicolored shoes at first (I’m a 78 year-old grandmother) but I’ve received so many compliments. They make everybody smile just to look at them.

As soon as I tried these shoes on I knew they were perfect for my 12 hour shifts ahead. As a nurse, I have tried multiple different brands of shoes in hopes to give my feet comfort. Other brands have been difficult to break in, but these have been different in fit, comfort, and weight.

So glad I took a chance on these, they are adorable, first off. So many hiking sneakers are not! These are lightweight and comfortable -- I went on a moderate 4-mile rocky hike with these and my feet felt fine, no breaking in period whatsoever. I wore a light wool sock with them and I sized up to 8 from my regular 7 to have some room and they are perfect.

The colors and design is what drew me in and they did not disappoint in person. Got my regular size and width and fit perfect. Wore them first time for an easy hike and absolutely no breaking in needed, comfortable right out of the box.

I always go 1/2 size up with hiking/trail running shoes so 8 1/2 was perfect. Very comfortable for long hiking, as well as down hill. Great grip on bottom as well. Also soooo cute

This is my 2nd pair of the antora. I returned my Siren 3 in almost the same color because they had a paperthin innersole, no cushion at all. The Antora is a return to Merrell's comfortable all day wearability. thank heavens because at 82 I walk miles everyday and want to continue to do so.

Best toe-box supportive tennis shoe I could find to allow ample toe room while recovering from broken toe. Very pleased that there is no pressure on toe at all. I have never been a fan of tennis shoes, they’ve never felt comfortable to me. (I wear Birks) Happy to say these are actually comfortable!
