Customer Reviews Merrell Tetra Catch Waterproof

I was looking for a comfortable waterproof leather boot and this was perfect from the day it arrived and felt wonderful from the start. I loved them so much I also ended up getting them in black. I love them! You can always count on Merrells to be great. They will be perfect for a trip to Ireland for any rain or damp days we may have. And thank you once again Zappos for your fantastic service. I found these cheaper on another shoe site and chose to order them from you anyway!

This is the best winter boot I've ever owned. It's comfortable, stylish and waterproof. I have never before found a boot with all three qualities. I plan to pull a Jackie O and buy it in black, too, because I just can't get enough of it.

I did not like the mottled color of the leather. The fit was fine (I always buy a size larger in Merrill. I am concerned that the sole does not look as sturdy as older Merrells.

I was looking for a waterproof ankle boot that I could walk miles in during the winter months but that was also comfortable and looked good. I found that in these boots. They are extremely comfortable and warm. I've walked 10 miles in one day with no discomfort. They were a little hard to get on the first time but once my feet were in the boots they felt great. Very stylish. Would definitely recommend these boots.

These are extremely good and nice looking shoes. I returned them with regret, but they were just too short. I was replacing a pair of Columbia boots in 9.5. I went up to 10 for these Merrell's and they seem shorter than my Columbia's 9.5. I'm going to try something different instead of going up to size 11, but I wish these had worked out.

Very good fit, comfortable and true to size. I like the looks of them with jeans.

Love, love, love my new boots but had to get a 1/2 size larger to allow for socks. My toes are happy now.

Stylish and comfortable waterproof boot and best by far. Like the fact that the footbed prevents my ankles from rolling in.

I love this boot. It's great for winter walking and casual dress for work and play. I haven't tested how well they'll keep my feet warm, however, the boots do a great job keeping them dry. One problem - I had to order a half-size up, which was unusual for me. I think it was less about length of the boot and more about the fit on top of my foot.

These are great, classy looking and don't look like the typical snow/rainboot. I purchased these originally for just snowy or rainy days. I needed something lightweight, warm and waterproof. I had been wearing Muck Boots to work and hiding them under my work pants which was a bit awkward looking. Now I actually wear them to work no matter the weather because they are so comfortable. I wish there was a tiny bit more tread for traction on slippery surfaces but all in all a great waterproof boot.

These boots are perfect. They are super supportive, waterproof, and are just the right size for a thick pair of wool socks, but don't feel too large with thinner cotton ones. They also look great with long pants or a dress and tights. Best boots ever.

These are unquestionably my new favorite shoes. I try to wear them only every other day, but sometimes I fail and wear them several days in a row. I am a notorious pansy with new shoes. I hate break-in periods, I have fussy arches, and if anything rubs my ankles or shins or toes in a weird way, it's back to Zappos with 'em. Full disclosure: I use SuperFeet insoles, so I can't comment on the insoles that came with these shoes, but hooray for shoes that have removable insoles (harder to find than you'd think -- I'm looking at you, Sorel). But here's how comfortable these Tetra Catch fellas are: The day after I got them, I wore them first to the American Museum of Natural History (lots of walking to/from subway, obviously lots of wandering in the museum), to the grocery store (this is NYC, so that means walking home), and then stood on my feet for six hours working as coat check at a GLBTQ youth dance before a long subway commute (+ more walking!) home. My feet? Aces. I'd like to see your brand-new waterproof chelsea boot do that. I thought I'd only wear them under pants (and they look hot under skinny jeans, I must say, but look equally great under straight-leg trousers), but absolutely every girl I showed them to said, "Oooh, you should wear those with a skirt. They'd be so cute." The weather turned cold and I've been avoiding skirts, but you bet I'll be trying it out in the spring. They're perfect for women who want a non-pointy, non-heeled, stylish black boot that's comfortable immediately and waterproof as well. In other words, I may order another pair.

I bought a half size larger to accommodate thick winter socks, and they fit perfectly. Arch support is fine for me, but they could easily fit orthotics. Soft and comfortable footbed.

Extremely comfortable and I love the style of these boots. I rarely wear boots unless I have to but I really look forward to putting these on because they feel so good on my feet and I like how they look. I highly recommend them if you're looking for a comfortable boot.

Bought these right before a two week trip. Needed no break in; great for walking. Kept my feet dry in snow and slush. Roomy enough I could put my orthotics in them.

Very effective water protection. Despite that the zipper is a little hard to get on, it is comfortable for short walks around but needs more padding and arch support for extended walks.

These are great with jeans, held up in rain just fine. The footbed is very comfortable, unlike Nine West shoes that have no arch support. My ankle also didn't slide out of the back when walking which seems to happen with a lot of other ankle boots for me. The only reason I gave these a 4 is because the leather appears a bit rubbery and there is no lining on the inside. It's like they literally cut a piece of leather and that's it. I would buy again if on sale.

This is a good boot, but I would change a couple of things. The heel is too wide for my foot. The rest of the shoe is fine, but the heel does seem too roomy. I also don't like the coloring on the boot. It is hard to explain, but it isn't a solid brown color. Instead it has a couple of different brown tones that make the leather look more like pleather. That being said, I still like the boot.

These felt good on my feet and are well constructed, but they are just too plain looking for my taste. I also don't care for the mottled look of the leather. I will be shipping these back. Thanks Zappos. It's so nice to be able to order a few pair of shoes at a time and make a choice without pressure!

I wish I could wear Merrells since they have a very comfortable sole, but the medium width is just too wide for my narrow feet. I wish they came in a size narrow. These were a nice style although they looked a bit big with the sole extending beyond the shoe. I was hoping an ankle boot style would keep my feet from sliding around too much, but my heel just slid around the shoe too much. Otherwise the size was good.

These are great casual boots but not as comfortable as I hoped they would be. Slip just a tad so I will probably add a comfort cushion. Not for walking long distances if you have sensitive feet.

I bought these shoes for a trip to Europe. I needed something waterproof and comfortable. They certainly fit the bill.

These boots run large and the thick sole that extends 3/8" made my size 9.5 feet look gigantic. In black, the leather is very matte and slightly pebbled, so if you're not sure if the boots are dressy enough for you, they probably aren't. I haven't been able to find many flat, waterproof, leather boots, so I may still exchange for a half size smaller. Hopefully in the smaller size my feet will only look really big.
