Customer Reviews Merrell Tetra Strap Waterproof

I love these boots! I got them as a Christmas gift last year, and I adore them. They really are waterproof (although I probably wouldn't recommend standing in a pool of water). They're perfect for walking around on rainy days on campus. The boots are overall pretty comfy, although I do think they're a little stiff. I think the stiffness will go away the more I wear them. The chestnut color is pretty true to color, and I was not disappointed with the quality at all. And as always, Zappos had fabulous shipping and customer service.

I love these boots! I'd say I have average size ankles/calves and they fit perfectly! They are extremely comfortable. I feel like I could walk all day in them!

I was looking for a comfortable leather, rubber soled, knee high boot. I checked out a few other brands at other sites, but found Zappos and though, hey! Let's see. My husband told me to look for the Merrell brand as I love their sneakers and sandal collections as well. The Tetra Strap is great! I love the boot, It's comfortable, and cool. I've gotten quite a few compliments. The one downside is the faded look is not too great to really wear with more dressier attire. They are more casual -- wear with jeans, leggings, etc. The calf stretch is great too, my sister says she always has trouble finding because of her big calves, but these fit her quite well. You may want to get a half size bigger as they just barely fit. And as you may know with Merrell, their support is among the best out there. I don't need to use my arch support inserts with these boots. Yea!

I purchased these in black & brown, kept the black pair. Didn't love the brown for some reason. I can wear these ALL day, they are comfortable. I am a small girl but have thick ankles and these are fine so I dont know what the complaint in about the ankle size. I can even fold over my boot cut jeans into them. I think they are cool everyday and rainy weather boots. Not at all dressy IMO.

Very comfy and cushion feel, roomy toe box, nice appearance. I wore them to work day after receiving them, no problems. Fit true ti size. Arch support is not as much as athletic shoes but would wear for walking and extended periods, they are that comfortable

I have two other Merrill shoes, but these boots are just too wide for my semi-narrow feet. I even put my insert in and still way too wide. If you have narrow feet, I wouldn't choose this boot.

I'm 100% happy with these great, comfortable boots. I love the fit. My calves are 14.5 and they are perfect. Just enough room for skinny jeans, yet not too big to wear with skirts/dresses. The color is amazing...charcoal. I am more than pleased with this wonderful new addition to my family of boots!

I bought these for horseback riding, waterproof and durable but they turned out to be more comfortable than my Ariats! (the footbed has a decent arch support) The rubber sole is great on gravel etc. so less foot fatigue. Plus they are soft and supple so no wearing-in AKA pain and blisters. I just dust them off and I can wear them with jeans or a skirt, very flattering shape. One thing to note, the top of boot is wide, I decided to overlook since I can then tuck thicker jeans in but it's not super-fitted at the top. (I shopped the heck out of boots before buying these) OVERALL My best buy of the year!

I have a wider calf so these boots fit just perfectly - they are snug but comfortable. Fashionable and modern. I wear them when riding horses and the sole is kind of slippery but that's just me, I'm sure no one else will have that problem.

This is by far the most comfortable boots that I have ever had. I am a size 7 and they fit just right. I love the fact that everyone compliments me on them. I highly recommend! You will thank me. They worth every penny!

Removable footbed allowed me to insert my orthotics - awesome. Comfortable enough to wear all day to work. I work in a school and walk all day.

I just purchased these boots in black and so far love them. I looked for a long time and they are perfect. I will be going to Germany in January and really need a good stylish waterproof boot that I can dress up or down. I ordered 1/2 size up because of the reviews. They are perfect with socks or without. I can also wear with my skinny jeans, as well as, my regular pants fit well over the top. They will also be cute with dresses or skirts. Couldn't be happier and I don't have to take any other boots.

Love these boots! One of the most comfortable pair of shoes I own. They are great and can be dressed up or down.

These are the most comfortable boots ever! The toe box is just perfect, the arch support is just right! I wish I could live in them! My only gripe is that the flat black just isn't versatile enough - it makes them too casual to wear with a dress.

I'm almost surprised how many compliments these boots get. People love'em, and so do I. Size 11 was right on when first received, boots stretch out a little as you wear them, but I find that to be ok for winter boots, even mountaineering socks will fit and keep your feet warm in these not particularly warm boots. So far they've held up to any moisture, and sole rubber is. Ice and sticky on ice. Functional and good looking, just what I wanted. Arch should definitely be more supportive.

Got these boots yesterday. They're really beautiful boots, but they just don't fit my feet right. I'm afraid I'll have to send them back. Other disadvantages are that it is difficult to get my foot into the boot (as other reviewers said) and I guess I'm looking for something a little less synthetic and more rugged. Still, I will try Merrells again, since I have a pair of Merrell shoes that are wonderfully comfy and that have aged very slowly and beautifully.

I love these boots! I bought them because they are waterproof and made by Merrell, and every pair of Merrell shoes I have (lots!) are really comfortable. I've worn them tromping all over downtown Seattle without any problems at all - they are nice and warm too!

Very nice quality & very comfortable; good toe room. True to size (at size 9); narrow shaft. But alas, foot is too clunky-looking for skirts that I bought these for, so I'm returning them.

This is a great boot, and it would've been perfect, except for the calf circumference. I don't really think of myself as having large calves, but finding a boot this season has been brutal, except for UGGS. It zips, but just barely, and I'm afraid in my travels, with any swelling from flying, etc., that I'd find myself bootless. Captiva mid turns out to be the best for me. The only other comment I will make...neither positive or negative, just a fact. This boot is not black-black...it's more of a charcoal, due to the nature of the leather. It will look great with blue jeans, but not so sure how it will look with black.

I loved the look of these boots the minute I saw them online. I read the reviews and was concerned about the fit in the ankle. I went ahead and purchased them in my regular size 8. When I went to try them on I got stuck at the ankle until I tried thin socks. They are a bit snug getting through the ankle area but very comfortable on and great for walking. I have gotten a ton of compliments on them. I wear them with skinny jeans or stirrup pants. I love them!

I really wanted to keep these boots because they are so incredibly comfortable (not surprising though, since they are from Merrell) and the color and style are wonderful, but I couldn't justify keeping them if I wasn't 100% happy with them because they are quite pricey. My only complaint is that they kind of splayed out sideways at the very top, and they weren't as fitted as I would like them to be. My calves are neither slim or wide, but average or a bit 'athletic'.

I love Merrells and had high hopes for these boots. I really struggled to get my foot into them. The ankle opening seems really small. Once I got them on I found I could not zip them all the way. I have athletic calves that measure 15.5 inches. The circumference said 16 inches but they would only zip half way. Possibly the circumference is smaller than 16 inches in a size 7. Sadly they have to go back.

I love this boot except for a couple of things. The circumference of the boot opening and shaft is too wide in my opinion. I don't have overly skinny ankles and calves but there is a decent sized gap. Although the gap isn't uncomfortable, the top looks funny with skinny jeans and the ankle forms a crease. I had ordered this boot and then returned if because of these issues. But after trying on countless boots, I haven't found anything as comfortable as the Tetra, so I ended up reordering it. The gap still bugs me but my feet are pretty happy.

I thought these boots would be the perfect all weather comfy boot! Sadly, they did not come close to hugging my thinnish legs. So, they have to go back. However, the leather is really nice and the foot bed is super comfy.
