Customer Reviews Merrell Waterpro Maipo

Pretty nice shoe but ultimately decided that it wasn't supportive enough for me. Nice looking and works for my somewhat narrow foot, but seems like it could also work for a pretty wide foot. Lightweight and nice grippy sole. Pretty smooth on the inside for going sockless.

Comfortable and lightweight, not as much support as I expected from a Merrell. I was hoping for more of an athletic shoe - this is more of a water shoe. Of course, the name tells me that - for a water shoe, it's great! Order at least a half size up - these were tight until I got a size larger than I usually wear.

I really like these shoes . . they are lightweight, very comfortable (Merrell's so you expect that)and I like the color/look. The only disappointment is that they run wider than I anticipated in the toe portion and I didn't realize how much it bothers me until after I had worn them. I do not have a narrow foot either so just be advised. You can tighten them in the toe area using the laces to fit better but they now have more material there and gap so looks bad. I should have bought 1/2 size smaller and this would have eliminated the problem. They seem to run a little big.

Squeaky - I love these shoes; they are very cute and comfortable. I wear them as an everyday sneaker b/c they are so comfy. I like that I can go jogging in the rain with them but when I walk through the grass in the morning my feet get wet, which is okay b/c that is the point of the shoes. My only complaint is that they are a little bit squeaky.

Fit - The shoe is extremely comfortable but the size is a little off. I wear a 9 in every shoe I own and the Merrell size 9 is at least a half size too large.

Not 4 sensitive feet - Shoes were cool, offered decent support. I tend to get the skin rubbed off my heel in some shoes, & these are no exception. I'll have to wear them with a band aid to protect my skin- even a sock wasn't enough protection. (Socks also defeat the purpose of water shoes.)

Great Shoe for Water and Around Town - I bought this shoe for kayaking. It works great in the water and on the river banks for keeping the rocks out of my shoes. I have also been wearing them on hikes and around town. They work great for those purposes as well, although I added an insert for extra arch support. I ordered a half size smaller than normal and I still found the fit generous.

Fit was good, but the arch support was made for someone else's feet. Also, beware that although these are proclaimed waterproof- be prepared to get your feet wet because they are mesh.

Ouch Ouch Ouch. These shoes look good, and felt good until I walked. First they were heavier than most water shoes but the absolute no was that on the outside edge where the purple accent comes down in a "v" around the black cord they sewed it on the inside to keep it stable HOWEVER that bump on the inside rubbed and dug into my pinky toe and after 4 painful steps I gave up. I looked to see how you could pad or fix this problem and since it is a water shoe I couldn't find a way.

These shoes were nearly 'keepers' but the small band that runs along the bottom part of the shoe is anchored on either side of the toe of the shoe. I really wanted to be able to keep these, but the knob created by the anchor of this band rubbed enough to make them uncomfortable as I walked around my house. Otherwise, they would have been very comfortable shoes. Unfortunately these will be going back.

These lasted 7 months of almost daily wear. They were great water shoes and everyday wear shoes. I will say, if you are hiking through grass or twigs, they will get you through the little holes. The weak point is the ribbon like thing the laces slide through. The ribbon sees lots of friction as you walk. The friction weakened the ribbon until it snapped one day as I was tying them. This really should be made of a better material.

Crispy inside - they cannot be worn without socks, which defeats the purpose of a water she.

I own several pair of Merrells in different styles and love them. I tried these on, walked around the house and thought they'd be great. Threw away the box and headed out for a 3 mile walk. Unfortunately, in that short distance blisters rubbed on the backs of my heels. The backs of the shoes hit much higher than my other Merrells, something I didn't notice until I took a walk. Disappointed these won't work for me. Even more disappointed that I'm out the money since now I can't return them.

These shoes have caused horrible blisters on my heels every time I have worn them. I am so disappointed. I have never had this issue with Merrell's before.

These shoes are incredibly comfortable and light; however the mesh fabric allows dirt, sand and gravel in from most any surface. I reluctantly had to return them.

I love this sneaker BUT...purchased two pairs and both pairs rubbed in the same spot on my right foot Achilles tendon. So Sad. Really loved these!

I purchased the shoe because it was shown when I selected "WATERPROOF", well, hello, the material is mesh!!!!I didn't realize that until I walked through wet grass and my feet got soaked. too late to return. they are comfortable, they are NOT WATERPROOF!!

I wear an orthodic and had to return these because the orthodic squeaked with each step. Also want zero-drop heal because of orthodic and opted with New Balance Minimus. This shoe was comfortable otherwise. Stable base.

Loved the color but not a comfortable shoe. Rubbed ankle too much. Also fabric was a little rough on toes.

I wanted these shoes to work out so badly. They are light, they vent really well, and they look great. But after wearing them, just for a few minutes, they hurt! The shoe rubs me on my achilles, right above my heal, to the point that I get blisters and have to take the shoes off. This happened the first few times I wore them so I tried wearing them with very thick socks, it was a little better but defeated the whole point of the good ventilation of the shoe. I can't return them, so I'm trying to make it work but I would not recommend these shoes to anyone!
