Customer Reviews Merrell Jungle Moc

I am answering this review for my husband as these are his shoes. He already had the same shoe for 5 years and they still look great except the soles were wearing down. He went up a half size as his feet have spread from wearing summer sandals. A great casual shoe for all ages.

I've been wearing Jungle mocs for the past 15 years. They fit both my foot and my lifestyle. I have a slightly wide foot, and the D width is snug but comfortable, and they loosen up as they break in. I travel a lot and these are great for traveling. I wear them for 5-10 mile city walks as well as casual hikes through the woods. I've even worn them on more technical hikes, although I prefer a boot with ankle support for that. I typically get 1-1.5 years out of a pair. And when they are no longer suitable for wearing in public, i get another year or two out of them for yard work. While they are definitely a casual shoe, and not at all dressy, the design is clean enough to be acceptable in a casual work environment where sneakers might not be appropriate. In fact I prefer these over sneakers for most applications, and reserve my sneakers for jogging/running. I've been looking for a suitable replacement, simply for the sake of variety. I've tried a few other brands, but I keep coming back to the Merrills. Maybe I should try a different color for some variety, and I'm happy to see a few new color options.

Right out of the box these have excellent fit and the construction looks good. I have had a pair of Merrell Mocs for many years that served me well, and were comfortable. I expect the same from these, which are very similar. Merrell tends to have better arch support than other brands I've tried, and the heel and toe of these Jungle Mocs have just enough room without pressure spots or rubbing. I have not yet lived with them long-term.
