Customer Reviews Merrell Nova 3 Mid WP

Bought these a couple months ago, started wearing them a lot about 3 weeks ago . They are light and comfortable, however I can no longer wear them in public due the very audible fart noise coming from the heel of the right shoe with each step. I've been wearing Merrels for the last 15 or so years because they fit me well and hold up. These however are useless to me due to a quirk in their construction.

These are my second pair as I wore out the first in 2023. Quite simply they are the best fitting and most supportive shoes I have ever owned. I buy 1 size larger than my foot to allow for swelling on hot days and to for some breathing on hikes. These are well made and waterproof (for minor drizzles or puddles). While I own a low cut walking shoe by Merrell and another of their over-the-ankle models they are stiffer and less comfortable than the Nova 3 Mid. A great 3 season shoe that checks a lot of boxes for me. These are much better for walking, light hiking and general around town shoes than any other of the major show companies I have owned, period.

FIrst time used right out of the box I ran 10 miles on trail. Super comfortable, great traction on rocks. One of the best trail running shoes/hikers I've ever owned and I think going forward these will be in my rotation permanently.

I live on one of the Great Lakes and hike around on a peninsula on almost a daily basis. I needed a shoe that is light but can handle the puddles and wet grasses I often travel through without my feet getting soaked. These totally fit the bill. Super light but still supportive of the ankle and they keep your feet dry. Awesome arch support as well. Highly recommend.

Extremely light and comfortable. Just got back from a long weekend of hiking in the Colorado Rockies. Excellent for those all day, all-terrain hikes!

Very comfortable! Great support for the entire foot and ankle . Durable materials for trail use .

These are much lighter and cooler than the Moab's I have been wearing for years. I do a lot of miles a week at the gym and these are great for that as well as everyday casual. I wouldn't recommend them as a replacement for Moabs for heavy duty hiking. I think they would be disappointing in that regard. They fit great and I find them quite comfortable and I can't say that about very many shoes or boots. True to size fit.

Very comfortable boot after about a month, easily became a great work, casual, distance walk footwear, I'd easily buy another one if I had the cash, only gripe i have with the boot is that there isn't any wide sizes.

At first it was a tiny bit too tight but i'd say about a month in, it became the most comfortable shoe/boot i've ever worn. Now I go 10+ hours wearing them each day to work when i don't have to wear work boots and I wear them for casual wear. Only slight gripe I have with the boots is that there isn't any wide sizes.

From the deserts of Mui ne to the islands of Bali and the jungles around Kuala Lumpur I loved these.

Just like the title says... I'll use them in the winter

Hiked the Black Mountain area in the Appalachia. Linville Falls, Mount Mitchell State Park, Roaring Fork Falls...my Merrell's were awsome.

They feel great but they're not waterproof. I wore them outside twice in the rain, my right foot was soaked both times. Disappointing since they were over $150 and I've had them less than two weeks.

Very comfortable boot. I wear everyday all day on my feet.

Pleased with the product as I use them during school security tasks & after school events!

I bought these in December 23 but havent used them much. I have less than 50 miles on them and they already lost their waterproofing. The IOP mesh also tears too easily. I hate it because they are so comfortable and my feet dont get tired, but they are too expensive for this. This is my 4th pair of Novas (3 se low tops) and they have the same issues. The sole delaminates and the cleats rip off too easily. Unfortunately, I think Im finally going to have to move on

I love these shoes. After previously having the Rainbow Novas for a number of years, I wanted something with a little more support. And I got it! These are great in any condition, every setting, and my feet are completely dry and dont stink. I wear them camping, hiking, around the city, and also around the house. Overall a great shoe. Only recommendation I would have is make this a full boot!

Wore on beach in rain, walked home 3 miles. Comfy.

I use these everyday out in the western slope of Colorado, so the terrain can be rugged but are generally fairly tame. These just do not hold up with the grip on the bottom. I have the trail runners as well, and those show even more signs of wear with much less use, as I hike much more. These boots are extremely light which is great, but after two pairs I will not buy again. Merrell's lighter weight boots just do not seem to hold up well.
