This is my second pair of these water shoes. I love them and can wear them all day even the 10 mile treks at Disney. Nice and cool. I have narrow feet and these are the best tennis shoes ever!

Seriously, folks these are the most comfortable shoes I have EVER owned. So…I just bought another pair in a different color. I'm wearing these every day; not as water shoes, though I'm sure they'd be great for that, too. They're lightweight with just the right amount of support. It feels like you're not wearing shoes, but yet, you're not barefoot, either! I can't say enough about these (no, I don't work for Zappos or Merrell); I'm just thrilled to finally find shoes that I love. Note, they do run a tad big, so order approx. 1/2 size smaller.

I took these shoes on a 5-day trip in the Escalante River canyon in Utah, and they were just the right choice. We made frequent river crossings as our trail snaked from one side of the canyon to the other, up and over ridges and canyon walls. I was about the only one on the trip who didn't have to continuously change shoes because these performed great for hiking in and out of water. The mesh is fine enough to prevent sharp pebbles and stones from getting in, and they dried fast. The only discomfort I experienced was a bed of sand built up under the inner sole which I had to dump a few times. Excellent shoe for my needs.

This is a great, comfortable shoe. Very light, great for the summer as it it breathes. The shoe can get wet without feeling heavy. Good arch support. True to size. I love Merrell and this is my new favorite sneaker for running around town and travel.

These are great! Very comfortable with good support and protection from hard floors and concrete. I had to order a 1/2 size smaller as my regular size was too large in the toe area.

Love these shoes! I've never had more comfortable shoes on my feet. I have yet to test them out in the water, but they are extraordinary for running and other fitness. I usually wear a 6 and I had to order a 5.5 to fit.

The shoes are great. I have extremely wide feet so I usually have to buy a size larger (and even then the shoes are often too tight in toes) but these fit perfectly in my size. I got the green ones and hoped to get a second pair in lavender, but it looks as though that color has been discontinued. The only complaint was that it took over a week to get them. The only explanation was that my delivery was "rescheduled".

Great Shoes -
These shoes are great! I wear mine to workout, run errands, and walk my dogs. They were extremely comfortable from the moment I put them on. Merrell shoes are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned and I own several pairs.

Love these sneakers .This is my second pair ,and the colors are great. I use these for travel. They are light and easy to pack and can be used for many different needs. Great for a light work-out or jumping streams and puddles. Dries quickly and are pretty comfortable. .

These are fantastic!
I love these shoes, the look, and the comfort. Although they are meant for water, I'm going to wear them as casual shoes...too nice for the water. They are very light weight - not a lot of support but they will do if not worn all the time.

Great all-purpose shoe -
Extremely comfortable shoe! I bought these for an upcoming trip to Costa Rica and also needed a light, summer day hiking shoe. Merrell accommodates my orthotics but I love the cushion of the factory insert so much I haven't put the orthotics in yet. These are also perfect for work, as I work in a lab on my feet. I usually am 8.5 (and 39 in Dansko) but ordered the 8 and they fit perfectly, so definitely order half size down. I got loads of compliments on the green. It is the perfect shoe for both street wear and waterfall hikes in the summer.

My perfect shoes -
I am on my feet at work in a busy cardiology practice 12 hours most days and these are the most comfortable and light weight shoes I have ever had. My orthotics fit perfectly in them. I need shoes with soft sides as I have had bunion surgery and these are just incredibly comfortable.

Great support -
This is the second pair of Merrell's I purchased. The first ones were a bit heavier, but also very supportive. These shoes are great. I work on concrete floors and after having injections in my feet for the pain, I finally got Merrell shoes. WOW...what a difference. I highly recommend them. Much better than orthotics.

Best fit ever -
Bought my first pair prior to having foot surgery, used to having nothing feel good at that point. They fit perfectly, ran my dog in agility that weekend with no pain! Had the surgery and these were still the only shoes that felt good. Ordered another pair in lavender just to spice up my shoe choice. Removable liner and inserts fit fine, hoping to graduate to other choices soon, but in the meantime, wouldn't trade them for anything.

Love this shoe!
Like every other Merrell I own (5), I love this shoe! Bought to wear on honeymoon in rainforest, have not tried it there yet. Have just worn it for normal use, very comfortable. Only problem is my slightly narrow medium width foot: have to keep the laces pretty tight.

Never take them off! Very comfortable shoe. I wore them right from the box on a week long Alaskan vacation. Hiked in them for 3 days straight and then wore them on daily shopping walks. Very comfortable. Truly. I wore them with socks, so I don't know how they'd be without them. They dry quickly and still look in A-1 shape even after getting wet. (It rained every day!)

Merrell Waterpro Maipo -
Great shoes! Run 1/2 size bigger. I tried every water shoe I could find. Liked the look of another brand until I put these on. No comparison. The cushion in these is great, felt like I was wearing my running shoes. The only con would be that the take a while to dry but definitely worth the money! Look a lot cuter than wearing those cheap water shoes too! I am a girl about the looks. My boyfriend usually wouldn't spend this kind of money but once he saw mine he threw out his cheap ones and we ordered him the men’s black. He loves his too! Really great to not have to take change of shoes. If in doubt go with these you will love them!

Awesome -
Purchased my first pair of these in the lime green at bass pro at the beginning of the season. I LOVE THEM. I pretty much wear them with everything casual (shorts, jeans, crop pants). Then my sister turned me onto Zappos.com. I only wish I would have purchased more sooner as the only color left in my size was the blue, which is fine. I use these for everyday use. Not for water, which is what they were intended for. Gonna be challenging in the winter with the mesh, but I will wear them year round!! Very comfortable, supportive. Merrell makes a great product.

Nice Shoe -
This is a very nice water shoe. The only complaint I would have is that I wear a 6 1/2 and sometimes a 7 size shoe. By the other reviews I ordered a 7 and it is a bit large. I think I could have gotten a 6 1/2 and it would have been perfect.

Light-weight and roomy -
These are really light-weight and fun to wear. I didn't get them for water wear. For water wear, I'd go a half size smaller. As it is, they are plenty roomy enough to easily fit both orthotics and additional cushioning.

What a great shoe!
I can't tell you how much I really love this shoe! A friend recommended it and I can't be more pleased with them! They needed absolutely no "breaking in" - in fact I wore them to work that night (I stand throughout my whole shift) and my feet felt great. After having several foot surgeries in the past few years, I have had a difficult time finding shoes that fit my needs. I can tell you this one definitely gets two thumbs up. One minor point, if you have narrow feet, keep in mind these shoes tend to run a little bit wide. I have narrow feet and find it hard to get them to fit tightly, although I typically wear my shoes looser than average and this isn't much of a problem. Try these shoes! They're wonderful!

Great water shoe!
This shoe just went on an 8 day whitewater rafting trip through the Grand Canyon on the Colorado River. Comfortable, steady on the raft, supportive on the hiking trails. Very happy with this shoe!

Maipo madness -
Everyone in my family wants a pair, as do my friends. I love the lightweight comfort of these and they are sturdy, too. It has been hot here in Indiana lately and I love the mesh in these shoes to keep the air flowing and keep my feet cool. I have worn them in the rain several times and they dry right out quickly. I have been walking a lot lately to save gas and these shoes are great for city walking.

This shoe is super comfortable from the get go. Great on a boat, in the garden, or walking around town. And, it drains well and dries quickly if it gets wet.

Super Sneaker -
Just returned from a three-week trip to the (hot) Holy Land and the Merrell Waterpro Maipo served admirably as my walking shoe. It's lightweight and breathable (cool!) and the fine mesh kept pesky sand and pebbles from being a problem.
