Customer Reviews Merrell Solo Origins

Very comfy. True to size and good fit. I love their retro look and feel. Have received many compliments on them. :)

This shoe wins my ultimate approval, and that's hard to do. Recently I ordered about 6 pairs of shoes and these are the only ones that fit me just right and are as cute as a button. I got the Arctic Teal color. These shoes are better in person than they are in the pictures. Even though these are for those with a neutral gait (I overpronate some sometimes), they are still stable and solid and support my feet just right. They are cushioned just right everywhere. I think they'll be great for day hikes. I was worried they'd look to hikish to wear every day, but no way, they are adorable for everyday use too. My feet are somewhat wide in places and these shoes accommodate for that...they are plenty roomy in the toebox, instep, and heel, wow. They are true to size for me. I can't recommend these highly enough. At last, shoes I love.

I like this shoe. I just wish I had not worn it outside before I realized it was too big. Love the color.

I bought this shoe in Scarlet and with the purple accents, it's absolutely perfect for Red Hat Society chapter functions. Great fit and support, very comfortable with minimum break-in needed. Highly recommend this shoe!

I loved the style, fit and comfort of the shoe, but I was not happy with the shoe when I first saw it, because I thought working in a meat department, it would not clean up very well. But the tag on the shoe said it was made to clean up easily. So, I decided to keep them. After 3 weeks, I knew the shoe would not clean up in my line of work. I was realistic enough to know that Zappos was not obligated to replace the shoes, but I wanted to ask anyway. When I explained the circumstances to my customer rep, he replaced the shoes with the same ones I had previously ordered (not these) at no added cost. Wonderful, wonderful service! I would recommend these shoes under any other circumstance. I love Merrell shoes.

I love these '90s throwback hikers from Merrell. They are fun to wear, extremely comfortable and durable to boot. (Haha) I'm a big fan of Merrells, and get compliments on these kicks all the time.

I gave these shoes to my mom for a gift. She loves them. She wore them on an all day shopping trip and her feet never hurt.

I bought these because they look fabulous and are really comfortable. On the first wearing they were a bit tight (especially with my shoe inserts) but after a few wearings they really loosened up in a good way and are super comfortable. The only thing that I am annoyed with is that the laces constantly come untied, which surprised me because they have a rougher texture, so I assumed they would just stick better. Nope, I have to double-tie them. But aside from that I want another pair in a different color because of the comfort and nobody else has them!

These are fantastic, very comfy for all day wear. My first pair of Merrell's, back in the early '90s, were very similarly designed with similar great comfort. I was so very sad when they finally got too tattered to wear to work and my Pekingese chewed out the innards. I couldn't find them anywhere to buy a new pair. I shouted for joy when I saw these a couple of months ago. I'm planning to buy another couple of pairs in other colors. (I've done this a couple of times before when I've fallen in love with a particular model.)

Just got my pair of red Merrells like these (looks like I got the last pair of size 11). They are great! Fit great, look great very comfortable Nice padding around the top for instant comfort.

The look of these remind me of the first Merrells I had as a seventh grader -- and nostalgia aside, I love them. Cute and comfortable. I've also received a lot of comments about the pink laces!

Another great fitting shoe by Merrell. The are true to size, decent support, and very comfortable. Bright vivid colors are a little much for me, but the shoe is a keeper for comfort!

These shoes make good walking shoes. They are a bit more fashionable than my sporty running shoes. The size was a bit on the large side, and they don't have much for arch support, but it is a well cushioned sole which makes up for it. Overall a good shoe that I would recommend for moderate to heavy walking.

After 8 weeks the leather tore open on the sides. I bought another pair and the same thing has happened. Torn leather. Not happy and now have to return both pairs. Shame on you Merrell for making such a crappy shoe!

I bought these for myself but my daughter liked them so much I ended giving them to her and getting another pair. She says these are the only shoes she can comfortably wear.

Love these shoes! I've never owned other Merrell shoes, but these seem to run slightly large. I wear a 7 (7.5 for running, hiking etc). I ordered these in a 7, and wear them comfortably with a medium weight ski sock.

This is the lightest and most comfortable shoe I've ever had. Love them! Do not slip at the heel, great arch support which I really need, and plenty of room in toe box area. True to width/size. Required no breaking in time. Comfortable from the beginning. All around great shoe!

I have been wearing these as my daily walking sneakers for over 4 months now. Considering that I walk at least 4 miles a day in them and my ankles and heels never hurt, the arch support is still spot on perfect and they still look cool enough that I don't feel like I have to change into more stylish sneakers for walking around in public, I'd say they are the best sneaker I've ever owned. Unlike fancy walking or running shoes that over compensate to the point of causing me weird injuries (New Balance is coming to mind), or Merrell's trail runners which have too hard a sole to feel comfortable walking miles on pavement, these are the right balance of soft, uncomplicated and supportive. My feet (and everything attached to them) have never felt happier. I just hope they never stop making them...
