I read all the reviews of this shoe carefully before ordering, as I needed a really comfortable shoe due to a foot condition called Morton's Neuroma. These Merrells are the closest thing I can find to a cloud for walking. They do feel just a tad clunky, but I don't care as the comfort is outstanding. The color is nice too for running around town as they don't look like typical athletic shoes. I would buy another pair in a heartbeat.

Very comfortable, with excellent support. Surprisingly good cushioning. This shoe did not require any breaking in. Seems to run a bit wide, but this is okay with hiking socks. A really fine shoe.

Awkward Shoe To Wear - I tried these Merrells as I have a wide foot and bunion on my right big toe which requires a wide toe box. The Merrells fit fine and provide the room I need in the toe box, but the heel cup was too wide and the shoe felt sloppy. In addition, when walking, after my heel strikes the ground, I get the distinct impression that they rest of my foot slaps flat on the ground rather than rolling in a comfortable motion. Some people may not find this annoying or uncomfortable, but I do. I have since discontinued wearing these shoes and have purchased a pair of Solomons which fit better and have a more natural rolling action when walking. The inner sole of these shoes are very flimsy and offer no support. I wear orthotics, so I just threw them away, but people without orthotics may want to consider this.

Just plain wow. I was amazed. I thought the 8 would be too small since I have a very high arch. Not so. I ordered the 8 E and they fit wonderfully. (I wear a New Balance 8 2E or 4E for reference). The E was plenty wide for me. Though my toe hits the front part of the shoe on the "hit-your-toe-on-the-ground" test, I don't see this as an issue. I plan to use these for "street hiking" as well as easy trail hiking in Maine. I’m really starting to appreciate the rounded heel.

Merrell Radius - I have to wear wide shoes due to a bunion. I wear New Balance 4E. These shoes in wide size fit perfectly, no break-in. Wore them 14 hours the first day; extremely comfortable.

A great shoe - A top notch shoe. Extremely comfortable and well made. This is my first pair of Merrells. You won't go wrong with this purchase. Plus, they look great. If headed overseas, they are perfect. They break the "white shoes" American look with real comfort. I did purchase my shoes one half size larger than my normal street shoes.

Radius - Large, wide feet and a bad ankle mean shoe-shopping is an ordeal for this woman. These accommodate my brace and orthotics and they have a rounder, more oblique toe box so my toes can spread out like they're supposed to. And I can go trail walking and hiking again! A little on the heavy side for me, but I can work with that. Not at all the Frankenstein shoes my podiatrist told me I needed to use. Thanks Zappos - you saved me hours of shopping frustration and money.

Great well made shoe. I tend to over-pronate with a high arch. The first shoe I have bought in years, comfortable with an over the counter orthotic (Superfeet) instead of a custom made one. I was able to wear it 12 hours day one.

A very comfortable shoe - I got this pair as a Christmas present for my husband and he absolutely loved it. And that's saying a lot - it is very hard to find shoes that fit my husband well, he wears a 13 Wide but also does not have much of an arch so most shoes even the wide ones are uncomfortable. Also I find that most wide shoes are ugly but not this one. This shoe not only looks good but my husband said that it fit right out of the box. I would definitely recommend this shoe.

I have very wide feet and am diabetic, so I need a shoe that is durable and comfortable. These shoes (in wide width) fit my feet perfectly.

Merrell Radius - Great overall shoe. I ordered a "wide" because the "medium" width was just too narrow for me. I am a "borderline wide" shoe buyer, and sometimes I wear a medium width and sometimes I wear a wide width. The wide width in this Merrell provides plenty of space - it actually was wider than I expected and is the reason it is not a "5 star" rating.

My first pair of Merrells - I was planning to purchase a different style of Merrells, but after reading the reviews here, I decided to go with the Radius due to the positive ratings for comfort. I have to say, the reviews were right on the money! A great pair of shoes - very comfortable and they look good!

A great shoe - This is my third pair of Merrell's. All have been this model or its predecessor. They have been great shoes and I wore them until the soles were almost gone.

Good for Wisconsin - Bought these for my son who lives in Northern Wisconsin. So far they have worked well for him in the cold and snowy North. His feet stay dry and good traction. He is very pleased with this shoe.

Great overall shoe! I bought these shoes for my husband and he loves them! They were comfortable right away, no breaking in required! He said they are true to size and the quality is great! He is already asking for another pair!

Very nice - I am a New Balance person for years. These are my first pair of Merrell's and I am very pleased. They are really sturdy. I will definitely be a Merrell person from now on.

Want a great shoe...get these!! Very comfortable shoes. Holding up well, stays warm in cold weather, but not hot in warm weather. Very impressed and I would likely recommend these (which are my first pair of Merrells). Hope it helps.

This shoe rocks! The new Radius stays true to Merrell's tradition of making shoes that are durable, sporty, and comfortable. You'll love the way the feel right out of the box. The aggressive tread pattern gives you fly-on-the-wall traction on almost any surface. You'll love this shoe.
