Amazing. Decided to buy them one day before leaving for Italy as rain was forecast. I didn't even need to break them in and they kept me dry in Venetian downpours and safe on slippery cobblestones. Ordered on a Thursday PM; got them Friday AM.Can't wait for rain at home so I can wear them.

These booties are so comfortable. They were just what I was looking for, wide shoe box to accommodate my fat bunions, warm, and kick butt in cold weather. They are a little clunky with the little look thing going on in front, but when I throw on my skinny jeans and put on a pair of folded down socks over the top, they are absolutely urban trendy looking. Plus I like the little height the heel affords. Five stars!

I love these shoes! I've had trouble in the past with shoes that don't give me enough ankle support or when the soles slip on icy streets and mud. These seem to be great on both counts. Additionally, they are warm and comfy.

The size was very different from the previous 7.5 which I tried on. Much smaller!

Exactly what I was looking for to take with me on a big trip - a hiking boot that is waterproof and sturdy enough for the rugged outdoors, yet subtle and stylish enough to wear with a pair of jeans in the city without looking like a lumberjack. Super comfortable already - had expected a break-in period, and none needed. I ordered a half size up per other reviews, and glad I did. The boots appear very well constructed and sturdy with a cozy interior, but light enough to be comfortable as day-to-day walking shoes. It feels like the shoe could be worn in any climate, +/- sock layers. These might be my new favorite shoes; wish I ordered them at the beginning of this rainy season.

The actual boot was better than I had hoped: fit was perfect for warmer socks, very comfortable, waterproof & warm. Able to walk dog 2 miles wearing them!

I love these boots, they keep my feet warm and they have a good grip on icy roads. I have big feet and they actually make my feet look smaller, which is amazing for a boot.

These are great boots. They are very comfortable, right out of the box and keep your feet just the right amount of warm. The tread is great -- not too stiff -- and they look good popping out of jeans. Very light, too. You should get them. They are worth the money.

Very comfortable. Good support. Bought a half size larger to allow for heavier socks. Wear them every day for walking our dogs in all kinds of winter weather in upstate New York.

I've been wearing Merrell shoes for years, and these boots are exactly what I expected. The size is true, and they are very comfortable.

At the last minute 3 days before leaving for my trip, I realize I need a pair of walking shoes that can withstand the snow and rain. But I didn't want to get a snow boot because I didn't want to be limited to just wearing it in the snow. I saw this pair, tried on a few and decided this is the one. I wore this shoes to China and Taiwan on a 2 week trip. I climbed the Great Wall of China in this shoes, in way below zero temp.! Let me just tell you, I have never worn a pair of shoes, walked, run, hiked, climbed for over 8 hours a day, for 12 days straight and been this comfortable. (I also brought another pair for alternating, but this one never left my feet!) The sole cushion and support of this shoes is unheard of! I was in comfy feet heaven! My feet have never felt this good and the boot style lends even more support around my ankles for climbing and walking in the below zero temp. Doesn't matter if it's snowing, raining or walking on icy pavement or mud, it just holds my ground, keeps the traction and lets me enjoy the scenery instead of worrying about my feet! So happy with the purchase, this pair of Merrell is outstanding! I'm normally a 6.5 but worrying about wearing socks so tried on the 7 as well, but after walking around the house in socks, I decided to stick with the 6.5 even though it's a little snug at first, but it does give out a little and now, it just molds to the shape of my feet! Love it! Zappos was unbelievable with their always awesome super fast shipping and customer servive. Thank you Zappos for making this a wonderful trip for me and my happy feet!

A perfect winter boot--warm, comfortable, lightweight, easy on and off! Walked over three miles the first day I wore them. Bought them a half size larger than normal, thinking I'd add orthotics or other insoles, but the boots are so comfortable I didn't need them. I wear thick cushy socks and they feel great. Feel a little snug when you first put them on but loosen up quickly. Little loose in the heel but feel great--a little like a lightweight hiking boot.

I love these boots! I wore them for a week straight! - except to sleep. A few weeks ago I had to take an unexpected, work related trip to Alaska, where it was -38. It was sunny and 75 when I left and many people on my flight from Santa Barbara were wearing shorts, tee shirts, and flip-flops. I wore my Merrells in case my luggage didn't arrive. People thought I was nuts, but my feet stayed warm and cozy during my week in Fairbanks and Anchorage. These are the most comfortable boots I've ever owned, and being waterproof makes them perfect. They'll likely last for decades since the only wear they'll get from now on will be for occasional winter trips to the Sierras - where it's never -38!

I love my Merrell boots! We have had a lot of snow this winter, and they have come in very useful. I specifically love the free shipping and return policy. It is very helpful when things don't fit correctly.

Love that shoe! It fits like a glove and keeps my feet warm. Another plus is the stylish appearance, it doesn't look like a snow shoe from afar. The only downside is the short shaft, sometimes I have to scoop out snow from the top.

Easy off and on with side zipper. Great traction for NYC snow and ice. Just the right support for long walks. And good looking to boot!

They are nice boots but I liked my Keen Dakota more! Their style seems a bit flat but the fit is great. There was this cool tag on them talking about how men and women walk differently, and these boots were specifically designed for women. I liked that a lot and have never heard of it before. So when I wear them albeit a bit drab in style, I know they are doing me good!

I've been a Merrell fan for years, so fortunately I knew not to panic when these felt a little tight at first. After a few weeks of wearing they've stretched out to just right. Great temp range; I can wear them inside without sweaty feet but they keep my toes toasty when outside. Highly recommended.
