Customer Reviews Merrell Waterpro Maipo

I concur with the other reviewers that these shoes run big, so order 1/2 size down. They were perfect for our trip to Maui, and I'm sure I'll get a lot of use out of them. A nice addition to my lean but practical sport shoe selection (my other faves being Salomon's with Gore Tex, perfect for colder weather). I can't comment on how these will wear as they are still brand new, but the looks, etc. and functionality are tops. As a Zappos VIP member, Zappos achieved the impossible and got these shoes to me the next day when I ordered as late as 4 p.m. They weren't able to guarantee that Herculean feat, but I was pleasantly thrilled when I received the shoes the next day, less than 12 hours later. Nothing short of incredible!

These shoes are great! They definitely go 1/2 size large: Every pair of shoes I've ever worn until these were 7.5, but an 8 fit me perfectly. They lace up and down really easily, which is great for me as a college student, because I just wanted something which I could wear everywhere and looked great, and it doesn't take any time when I'm late for class to dress up. Every day I'm excited to put them on, because they feel so great. The fabrics they're made out of are durable and feel good to the touch. The sole is well made, and very comfortable. It doesn't force my foot to do something it doesn't want to. They're really comfortable, so I wear them when I'm lounging around, but they can also lace up tight, so I play sports in them as well. The only concern I have, is that with the complicated lacing system, there are little stress points which I could see failing pretty quickly. When I walk, the laces pull on these particular parts, and the fabric is fraying (though they only started fraying after about a month of continuous use). Very breathable, comfortable, and stylish. Great shoe if you're willing to spend the money.

I love Merrell shoes. I have them in clogs, runners, sandals and more. They are the only shoe that have helped my foot problems, taken the pain away and still look nice. And Zappos, how could you go wrong, free shipping both ways. A+ you all.

I really like the look of these shoes. The fit is pretty good, too. Although after wearing them for about a week, they squeak pretty bad.

Good water shoe. Use it for deep water aerobics: lightweight, drains well, and comfortable sole. Have had two pairs of the Waterpro before, but this new version seems to be sized differently. Wore a size 9 in the prior version because they ran narrow. Wear a size 8 1/2 in the new version because they run wide.

Fantastic shoes! I bought these for a trip to Maui where I did a lot of hiking. I was in and out of the water, on slippery rocks and through muddy,wet forests. These shoes were not only comfortable, but provided great traction and dried out quickly between hiking trips.\r\n\r\nThe shoes are comfortable both with and without socks and don\'t require a break-in period. I normally wear a size ten, but bought a half size smaller per the other reviews. Good choice - I recommend a half size smaller too!

Shoes fit perfectly with and without socks, BUT I normally wear a 6 or 6 1/2 in a sneaker or running shoe, so they really do run large. Super comfortable. Great traction. Planning to take them to the Galapagos later this month and they really will get tested in and out of the water.

I would like to thank Zappo\\\'s for wonderful service. First of all, the shoe that I was looking for all over the internet was in stock when speaking to your representative. It was very hard to find let alone find one in the color and size that was needed. On top of that, you offered the lowest price and the shoes were shipped to us next day! I have never ordered shoes through the internet. In speaking with others, this experience is not common. When speaking of ordering anything on the internet, my experience and Zappos.com will always be mentioned as exceptional. Thank you, Valarie Irons

These are great shoes. I love them in the blue, and they're wonderful for walking. They're light, airy, and supportive. As with all the Merrells I own, seems like all I have to do is gently flip my feet forward and back, and the shoes do the walking for me! These shoes look great with jeans, and also quite cute with mid-calf-length skirts.

This is my second pair of the same style of Merrells; they're terrific. I use them kayaking and for just walking around. Really lightweight and cool on hot days. Zappos customer service is great, as always. I received my shoes quicker than I could have driven to a store!

The shoes are great - right fit, comfortable and breathable. If you wear on bare feet, the back can rub a bit when you first wear them, you may want to work them in before putting them on for a full day. Let's just say I learned that from experience. Zappos service was great too - thanks guys!

These shoes are fantastic! They are comfortable and sturdy! I ordered a half size smaller based on previous reviews and they fit perfectly with or without socks. My only complaint is that they still let small rocks in, but I use them on a man made "beach" at a dog park that has a thick base of pebbles, so I'm not sure any shoes would keep all the rocks out.

Love these shoes - purchased for raft/camp/hiking trip. No break in period, very comfortable, dried quick, great both for the boat and for day hikes. Very well constructed and look great. Arch support and cushioning is moderate. Highly recommended. As always, superb service by Zappos!

Fabulous shoes! These shoes adjust to fit your feet. The laces pull on the ribbons which zig-zag around the shoe so it tightens, or loosens everywhere. I have fit issues with a damaged foot and very few shoes are tolerable. These are perfect for me, and I am buying two more pair, from Zappos, of course. More, my camp lot is squishy because of the rain we've had this summer. These shoes seem to dry instantly. They hold their shape and are as comfortable at the end of the day as the beginning. And they look sleek. They make me look like a runner, even though I am far from it. I couldn't be happier with these shoes.And they accomodates a 3/8 inch high orthotic on one foot without any slippage of the heel.

These run a half size big, so be sure to order a half size down. Beautiful shoes and comfortable. I\'ve actually walked through a few shallow creeks to try them out. They dry out in about 10 minutes. They make my feet look dainty too! 5 stars.

I bought these sneakers primarily because they were water shoes as well. They were perfect and comfortable from day one. I ended up with a small blister on my little toe but besides that they were perfect. I even bought a pair for my mom to take on her vacation and she loved them also. We're both still wearing them as everyday shoes with and without short socks. Also the shipping a Zappos is better than fantastic!

Great sneakers! I have a broken heel and ONLY these shoes gave me a great support. They are lights and very comfortable. I also like the zappos company for their fast delivery and free shipping. When I bought sandals the company send me them next day because of summer. Thank you! I will do business with zappos.com any time.\r\nElizabeth

I absolutely love these shoes. They are so comfortable and great in the water. I will never go hiking, camping, or fishing without them.

This is my third pair of Merrell's. I love them. No breaking in and they are always comfortable. I have very high arches and my orthotics fit right in. I am always in and out of the water with them when I fish and boat. They hold up great. Zappos has speedy shipping. I ordered size 10 and went down to a 9.5. The whole back and forth process took three days. I love Zappos.

This is an AMAZING shoe. I bought them for my trip to Honduras and used them for white water rafting, hiking, everyday walking, and they were even comfortable enough to run in. They are very breathable, the mesh keeps the tiny stones and bugs from getting in your shoe, and they dry very quickly. I highly recommend this shoe! One thing I did notice is they ran a good 1/2 size bigger than normally. I bought them in a 7 and called the day I received them and Zappos shipped me out a 6 1/2 that day (before I sent the 7s back). Zappos sets their bar high in the customer service department.

I love Merrell's which is the brand my foot doctor recommended for good support. I have a similar waterpro type shoe that Merrell discontinued and wanted something that looked nice enough to wear to commute to work and to wear on casual Fridays. They are really light weight which makes them easy to carry and I've received a lot of compliments on the color. I wear a narrow-but I can pull the laces tight enough to fit well.

These shoes are fantastic. I love Merrells in general and own several pair, but this is the first time I have tried the sneaker type. I purchased these for a day trip to NYC and absolutely love them. The mesh upper and microbacterial footbed gave all day walking comfort on a very warm day. The arch support was just right and after a 12 hour day, my feet were not overheated and I had no knee, back, or hip pain as I would have with a less comfortable shoe. I wore them to work the other day (causal Friday) and got many compliments on them. The only thing I recommend is going with the smaller size if you are a person who can wear a full or half size at times. I find I can wear a 6 or a 6.5 depending on the shoe and with these, the 6 was perfect. I had ordered them in a 6.5 off of another website and had to return them (and paid return freight - no deal there). I came back to Zappos knowing the free freight either way allowed me to try them without having to worry about the additional cost if they weren’t what I wanted. Go Zappos!
