BEST BOOT EVER!! This is THE boot for the person who wants a serious winter boot without sacrificing style. Incredibly comfortable, perfect fit, great support, a very cool look for a waterproof boot. Zipper makes for easy on and off, very easy to tuck jeans in. I LOVE THIS BOOT!!!

Great winter boot! I cannot wait for the cold weather to set in so I can wear these cute boots! I have a high arch and had to return them for a 1/2 size larger for a comfortable fit. Other than the arch, it fit pretty true to size. They look great with jeans tucked in and are very comfortable.

Cute, comfortable, and practical - I wore these new boots in our first snow of the season! They are excellent - they fit well, they are obviously cute, they are waterproof, and have a nice tread on the bottom (unlike a lot of cute wintery-style boots). There is a zipper on the side of the boot, but I can usually just slip them on and off without using the zipper.

THE BEST - I can't just wear any shoe/boot, it HAS to be comfortable from the start. These are great for comfort, 1/2 size larger fit me fine. No breaking in time needed.

Fab! These are well made and so, so warm. They are bulky, but still super cute. Of course fashion usually goes out the window when the weather gets below zero. So I am very happy to have something that is both form and function. The fur part flips up for extra warmth and the inside is crazy soft. To top it off, Merrell is a wonderful company. They really know what they are doing over there!

These boots were made for dancin’! I got these boots to wear at a music festival in the cold, danced warmly all 3 days. I ordered an 8.5, sent it back and got the 9. They run snug, but I have degenerative disc disease and these boots are excellent source of alignment and balance. Also, they are not my 1st Merrill boots, I knew going in they aren’t a dainty feminine boot, but they rock! Sweet boot, spend the money, and get excellent quality. Wear a thin sock even though they say you don’t have to.

Nice waterproof boot - Warm and comfortable. Shaft is narrow, can't fit most pants tucked in. Shaft is also a bit shorter than I expected.

NICE BOOT! Warm, comfortable, lightweight, good-looking, true-to-size, and sure-footed on ice/snow. I've worn them to power walk through a couple of inches of snow, and they feel as "dainty" as my running shoes. Love 'em!

I wanted to love these boots - I've tried several boots and I really had high hopes for these. I do wear orthotics and they accommodate them, although with a high instep it was a snug fit getting into the boot. They were comfortable, the appearance did bother me a bit, and they reminded me of what we got when we rented snowmobiles. They just seemed overly functional without style. Can't imagine them with jeans tucked in. The leather seemed almost rubbery to me. True to size.

Great boots - Merrell shoes usually work really well for me, so I thought I'd try the boots. I was not let down. They are fairly light in weight (about the same as tennis shoes), so they're nice to walk in. They are really warm, almost too warm, and very waterproof. They are wide enough for thick socks and tucking jeans into. I have no problems going for walks in them up to a few miles. The fur trim and lace in the back makes them cuter than your standard winter boot. My last pair of winter boots were Uggs, and I like this boot much better. It is not as heavy and wears more like a tennis shoe. Love them!

Love The Blenny - I have the blenny in the red quasar, it is an amazing shoe. It's so beautiful, I get plenty of compliments when I wear them, and the platform is scaled so perfectly it feels like a flat. You will want this shoe in every color.

Elegant but sexy evening shoe - I completely agree with the previous reviewer. I also got it in red and they are so gorgeous. For the height, it is amazingly comfortable and really I could run in it :) I am in so love with shoe!!

These shoes are true to size and width and are extremely comfortable to walk in. Even though the heel is high, the shoe has a platform, so the heel is easy to walk in. I've received lots of compliments on these shoes.

AMAZING - These shoes are actually VERY comfortable, I own several Stuart Weitzman shoes and usually wear a 9 or 9 1/2. In this shoe, I was an 8 1/2. They have a great rubber bottom sole which makes them easy to walk in.
