Worth Every Penny

I bought these shoes in September 2025, and they've been through just about everything since then. They've been my everyday tennis shoes, gone on walks through the woods, and survived five Disney World trips so far. Without a doubt, these are my favorite shoes I've ever owned. They're incredibly comfortable, hold up really well, and are super easy to clean when they get dirty. I have wide feet and usually struggle to find shoes that fit comfortably, but these fit perfectly right out of the box. I honestly can't recommend these shoes enough. They've held up better than any pair I've owned, and they've been worth every penny.

Great trail shoe, Modern Funky Style

Love the look of these shoes. And they are very comfortable with a little extra room in the toe box. Great for the trail and casual use. Love the lace system just wish there was a pocket to tuck them. Slaps around when moving fast. Slight heel slip when I first got them but was able to solve that with lacing and some time in use.

Great, sturdy shoe, problem heel slippage
Originally posted on Merrell
I have been wearing these for two weeks, putting in about 25 miles. I have an issue with supination; however, during the first two weeks, they are GREAT! I will say, that the lacing system has a serious flaw. You can't use the heel lock (extra hole) system with the one loop and toggle. I cut those out and just use regular laces and they are great. Looking at buying another pair....but will give it another two weeks to ensure that they don't soften too much and wear out on the outside heel (supination). I like that they are grippy on trails, yet cushioned on the road.

Love them! Took them to Sedona and did three tough hikes in them. Great traction and no break in needed. Love the cushioning!

Good shoes

So I took a risk and brought these as my only hiking shoe on a hiking trip. So comfortable right out of the box, easy on/easy off. Great shoes in general. I have two very minor problems. The bump out at the back of the sole made my feet feel significantly larger than they are and I was misjudging my foot length when it came to steps; the bump outs by the toe box also prevented me from getting my feet in cracks while doing rock scrambles. My bad for not buying a more rugged shoe. But I love these and put 50 miles on them in 4 days right out of the box

The most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. I have worn Merrell shoes for many years, most often Women's Moab hiking boots. This shoe has excellent lateral support and amazing cushioning. I especially love the lacing system.

So comfortable and safe, great for pregnancy!

I bought these after reading a review and I'm so glad I did. I was looking for VERY comfortable shoes for walking and keeping active while pregnant. Having the extra grip on the bottom to help prevent slips was important for me. I have never experienced sore feet or blisters, even after putting in almost 30,000 steps one day. These are definitely worth all the hype! I will be buying future pairs.

Comfortable, stylish, but NOT durable
Originally posted on Merrell
No, I don't recommend this
I bought these for a hiking trip in the Caucus mountains. I wore them on 3 moderate hikes (7-9 miles each on rocky but maintained trails) and they are very torn up. More wear and tear than my Salomon boots I’ve used on many more hike over 8 years. I liked these shoes as they’re stylish, so i could wear them on off days in the city (which i did also 2-3 times outside of hiking) but also comfortable and could work for this level of hiking. I was surprised and disappointed in how well they held up. They’re still wearable but I would’ve expected them to be more intact for being worn under 10 times. Also found the fit to be narrow and took a few wears to be “broken in”. I’m almost always a 7 but opted for a 7.5 and even then was having to loosen the fit when in higher elevations

I bought these as a sneaker and also for a trip to Colorado where I planned to do some light hiking. They were comfortable from the start! They provided good stability on the rocky terrain and my feet stayed cool with the breathable fabric. I got them a little wet a couple of times hiking in snow, but they dried out really quickly. I would definitely recommend these hiker sneakers for both daily wear as a sneaker and for a comfortable, lightweight hiker.

The shoes are truly comfortable, a lot bounce whatever you do feel like you are walking on clouds. I have a walking job and my feet feel fine the whole shift

Design flaw / heel slippage
Originally posted on Merrell
When I first put these on in my house I loved them. They’re very supportive and comfortable. However after taking them on a walk in the woods I could not get the heel to stop slipping. I tried pulling the laces tighter but then they pinched the top of my foot. They’re definitely not too big- it’s a design flaw since you can’t put the “lace” through the top hole and it’s always too loose around the ankle. I’m really disappointed because they were quite expensive and ultimately would never survive even an easy hike. I don’t recommend you waste your money even though they are cute

Propells you forward with every step
Originally posted on Merrell
I absolutely love these shoes. They make you feel like they are propelling you forward, making them perfect for being on your feet for long periods of time. I got the goretex version, because I find they are more versatile, as well as practical especially for everyday use. These are my new favorite shoes. Another W for Merrell.

I am a sneaker queen, and these are the King of sneakers. They are definitely the most comfortable pair that I own at the moment. I matched tgem up with everything thing shorts, dress, slacks, and jeans. I took them to Montana and walked all around the glacier out there, and then wore them to dinner.

I love these shoes! Super cute, super comfy. Fun and edgy. I get so many compliments on the bubble looking bottom. Wish there were more color options. And suggestions of products to keep the white clean.

Excellent bounce, but whenever I take them off, the bottom lining comes right out.

You Need These!
Originally posted on Merrell

These are the most comfortable shoes in my closet! I bought the white and turquoise, so I don't know that this will be the ones I hit the trails with, guess I will need a second pair for that! I honestly am living in these though. The support is unlike any other shoe in my rotation and while it is soft underfoot you are totally supported and stable. No joke I've worn these for a couple 12+ hour days on my feet and I forget that I have them on they are so amazing.
