Customer Reviews Merrell Waterpro Ottawa

Lightweight and comfortable. One minus is during break in period you must repeatedly tighten laces.

Overall this is a nice shoe. It has great ventilation and is fairly comfortable. I have yet to use them in the water, so I can't say much for that aspect of them. My only real complaint is that the shoe feels a little bit flimsy for the money. I understand that is part of what makes them dry quickly and provides ventilation, but when you put them on your feet, they feel like they should cost less.

I've worn Merrell shoes almost every day for the last 4-5 years. I like the brand, the quality of their shoes and how comfortable and versatile they are. So, here's my opinion on these ones (I've had them for a month or so). The good:-comfortable-very light shoes, keep feet cool (they're great for warm climates). The bad:they don't offer as much support as other models (e.g. Overdrive) but this is to be expected, given how thin and light they are. Very limited and ugly (in my opinion) set of color schemes. Merrell, are your designers color blind, or what? How many cars would Ford sell if their cars would come only in dirty green, sick yellow and washed-off blue? The ugly: these shoes have the *worst* laces I have ever seen in my life. I practically have to tie my shoes every half an hour, even when I only sit in front of a computer. When hiking, it gets extremely annoying. Problem solved by buying other laces. Overall I feel that the legendary Merrell quality is slipping, probably as the company is cutting costs. Still, these are a great pair of shoes, which I wear almost every day. I hope this helps.

Good fit, comfortable to walk in but a little squishy on the top. I've had to retie the shoes and tighten laces after wearing them an hour or so.
