Cute, but they call it waterproof and with a gusseted tongue, but tongue not gusseted at top (only deep down at footbed with a thin non waterproof fabric; seems only designed to prevent tongue twist) thus wont keep rain out. Sole is a hard type that makes clomp sound on hard floor and cause slips on wet surfaces. Merrell, quit it with just aiming for looks. Go for substance and functionality please.

I am really pleased with these. Very comfortable, though I expected a bit more arch support. And, they make my feet look tiny. I wear a 7 in these, my feet look like size 5. Funny!

Great lightweight multi-purpose shoe! I tried them on and wore them all day without getting sore feet. My feet are narrow and I can tie these to fit perfectly.

I love these! I looked high and low for something I could wear through 3 weeks in Ireland...from touring in cities to hiking up mountains to golfing. These have served all these purposes and have been extremely comfortable from the start. I have a long somewhat narrow foot and after trying on every low hiker in the Syracuse area, these are the ones I chose. My feet don't look huge either!

I am a hardcore Merrell fan and my work requires "substantial footwear". I am on my feet all day and walk a lot. I found these shoes to be a good fit and they are comfortable on asphalt and concrete but on gravel or rocky surfaces the sole is soft enough to allow the wearer to feel the rocks. However, it is a reasonable trade for the more streamlined and feminine appearance. For what they were designed for they're a great shoe.

These are the lightest-weight, softest, most supportive walking shoes I have ever had. They do not slip at the heel. It is hard to believe such a light shoe can be so supportive.

I love this shoe. Comfortable, light, with just the right amount of heel stability and support. I have been healing my plantar fascia, and this shoe is one of the only sneakers that my foot can tolerate. Two minor caveats (neither of which prohibit me from owning two pairs) as they are excellent ventilators, they also let in a lot of sand/dust if I'm in natural settings, and the laces tend to untie. Double knots solved the second problem.

These are very comfortable shoes. I bought them because Siren Ventilator were longer available. But they are not as comfortable and I notice that my feet tend to sweat more in them.

Best shoes ever! I'm on my feet 12+ hours a day as a floor nurse in a hospital. I couldn't do it without these shoes. I have a narrow foot usually wear size 6 1/2, but use a size 7 in these shoes. I love these shoes!

I love these hikers. I bought them for a hiking trip in Italy and only wore them twice before departing. The hiking terrain was challenging with lots of hills and stairs. I did not get any blisters and found them extremely comfortable with good grip. My feet are a bit wide and the shoe accommodated my orthotics.

I waited a week for this shoe. The longest wait ever from Zappos. I really wanted to like it. I slipped it on, it is true to size and width and very comfortable until I walked. It cuts right across my toes on both feet. I am so disappointed. They are going back tomorrow.

As with all Merrell shoes and boots, these are absolutely great shoes. They are comfortable for all day wear, in fact, they are now my favorite pair. They are not too heavy or too hard. I have had so many compliments on them as well as people asking me where I got them!

These are fabulous. I had a great toe fusion several months ago and have been out of the boot for only one month. These shoes allow me to walk without having to concentrate really hard on it. They are too cute and feel light but provide great stability for my foot. I normally take a 7.5 W. In these I have an 8.5 M. Fabulous shoes. I am going to get a second pair!
