Customer Reviews Merrell Tetra Launch Waterproof

I love these boots! Very comfortable--I could walk for a while in them. The top is a little tight on my calves, but I have pretty muscular calves and after wearing the boots a few times, the leather is beginning to stretch a little. I would recommend these boots.

One major complaint is that I can't zip them all the way up. Therefore, that is why I chose a 3 for both comfort and overall. I have a little over 14 inch calves. You should measure the thickness in your calves 1st, prior to buying these boots.

I bought these boots twice, and both times one of the faux buttons popped off. They were the perfect boots otherwise, but I'm going to have to go with something else.

The boot was the right length, but the toe box felt too shallow. I have the ankle high tetra which is quite comfortable, so I was surprised that these do not fit.

I would have loved these boots because they are very comfortable and stylish, but they were just way too wide at the top. I had almost 2 inches of space around my calf, so when I walked the boot slapped back and forth. I tend to have narrow calves, but usually just wearing a thicker sock is enough, but not with these. I had to send them back.

The ankle area on this boot is really small. If you've got wide feet or a high instep, you'll be hard pressed to get your foot into this boot, and that's a shame since it is really cute in person.

The boots seem very well make and look even nicer in person than they do in the photo. My only gripe is that the sizing was weird. I normally take a 7 in boots, I couldn't even get the 7 on my foot. The 7.5s were a squeeze and the 8s were too big. I recommend trying these on in a store before purchasing. They are pretty cute so if you can find a pair that fit, I highly recommend them.

I love the style of these boots. My big complaint is that the buttons keep popping off. Merrell will fix them, but I don't like that they're not made to last. I'm disappointed in that aspect of the boot.

I loved the look of this boot! However, I could not get my foot in the boot without a lot of effort. I'm returning these because I don't think I'd ever be able to get them off without a boot jack.

I was looking for a super-comfortable, casual leather boot for walking around the city in, and I thought this might be the one. Sadly, it's not. I ordered my usual Merrell size (8.5) and even with very thin socks, could barely get my foot into them. I considered ordering a size up, but the soles were somewhat hard and not at all as comfortable as I'd wanted. I also wasn't impressed with the leather, it looked and felt a bit cheap. Hooray for free return shipping, though!

These were too tight on my instep. If you have a high instep, these will not work for you.

Beware of rivets. I really liked these boots. The style and the fact that they were waterproof were the selling points. However, I received the first pair and one of the rivets fell off after the first wearing. I exchanged them for another pair, and same thing happened with a different rivet.

I do not like this shoe at all. They look "ugly," bulky and not a good fit to my regular/narrow foot and ankle. I wear a size 10 but reading previous reviews of them running small I ordered 10.5. They were still too small but looked huge on my foot. I must say I don't get what the hype is about. Sorry, but it's a return, and I do not recommend them, not even for casual wear. Zappos was great about return, must find something else.

I received more compliments on these boots in one day than on all of my other shoes combined...and I have some other great shoes and boots!

Great shoes! Wore them for just a few days before embarking on 3 weeks of travelling in Ireland. These shoes were on my feet daily and brought total joy in wearing.

I love these boots. I bought them because I recently moved to Portland, OR and didn't have any good quality waterproof boots. I love that these are functional, sturdy, and very well made, but also have some style. I can't attest to their actual waterproofness as of yet, since it's summer here and hasn't been raining much at all. If you want to wear very thick socks with these I'd size up half a size. Also--give it one or two wears for them to break in a little bit. I'm usually a 6.5 and the 7's felt really tight at first. But after a few wears--they're perfect. I'm sure these will last a long time, but I think I'll be buying more Merrell's in the future.

I've worn these boots to school and on several long walks and they are very comfortable. Since they have a side zipper I avoid larger puddles, but they seem to work just fine for rainy days. If you are obsessive about keeping your shoes scuff free, these are not the boots for you. They can and will scuff here and there, which for me adds to the character of the boots. I did have to send back the first pair for a half size larger than what I normally wear.

I am so happy with these boots! I bought them before going on vacation to Seattle, because I knew I needed some good stylish water resistant boots that would also be great for walking around, needless to say, these were perfect! I am usually a 6 in Merrells, and although my foot fit perfect, the 6 was a bit too snug in the ankle and calf, so I returned for 6.5. The foot bed was roomier, but allowed for an insole and thicker socks, which came in handy. Also, the ankle and calf was roomier to fit my jeans under. I did notice that on one boot, it is starting to wrinkle from my foot step, where as the other boot is completely smooth, don't know why. But overall they are awesome boots, I would suggest ordering a half size up if you would like the added flexibility of having an insole and thicker socks. I'm sure the smaller size would have stretched eventually, but I didn't have time to break them in. Overall great purchase and awesome speedy service from Zappos team, as always! Thanks!

I just bought my second pair of these after finally wearing through the first. The first pair lasted through my wearing them every single day for four Vancouver winters while staying entirely waterproof, warm, and comfortable. After all this hard use they were still in respectable shape, but the soles were worn thin, the zipper sticking, and the leather cracking. However, in a pinch I can still wear them, and think that four consecutive years of wear (every single day for six months) in rain and slush, casual and more dressy occasions, is pretty amazing. The new pair looks so... new! I cannot wait to take them out for a spin. They are incredible boots. I would give them 10 stars if I could.

I love these shoes! They are so comfortable and I always receive compliments when wearing them. Wore them during a girls' weekend in NYC and they never got old. I did have a problem with one of the button covers, but thanks to Zappos excellent customer service the damaged boots were replaced next day.

This is a good looking, practical, comfortable boot. I'm small (5'2 and about 105 lbs). They hit at my calf. They're a little wide, but it still looks fine and gives me room to tuck in skinny jeans. That's perfect, because I bought them to be the one pair of shoes I travel with: skirt or pants, casual or professional, lots of walking, warmth and a stable sole. The only drawback is that they're kind of snug where the top of the foot meets the ankle. Hard to get into the boot with thick socks. But, I suppose that's the price you pay for the sleek silhouette.

I bought these based solely on the reviews of others, and am very pleased. Although others have said that they find the boots very warm, I live where it doesn't get cold enough to snow and my feet still get numb. Still, they're very comfortable and I, like others, would like to buy another pair in a different color.

I've had the brown ones for 3 years. Life in Juneau, AK is wet and cold and these work great! They look nice with tights, skinny jeans or under regular jeans, I wear them all the time. I just came to Zappos because I realized that I can't live without a pair in black!
