Customer Reviews Merrell Siren Sport 2

These hurt. I loved wearing the Siren Sport, but this new version. Siren Sport 2 are narrower, shorter, and stiff.

I have been trying to find the right walking shoes for a trip to Sicily and have been diligent with ordering this one and that one, hoping to find what works best. After many efforts, it seemed that the Siren Sport 2 would have just the perfect lug depth (sole) and support for cobblestone streets and hiking in the ruins...not too much (All Out Blaze, Moab Ventilator) and not too little (Proterra Vim Sport, Azura). At last, I thought! Yet, I don't know what it is about the lacing system but these shoes are laced all the way down near your toes and I found them very uncomfortable, tight and cutting on the sides of my feet (even when loosening them up)...the front of the shoe felt narrow, the back felt wide. Frustrated, they must go back.

I love Merrell shoes...but these are horrible! There are seams not well covered that rub against the sides of my foot (both feet). These shoes appear to be cheaply made and are very uncomfortable. I gave 4 stars for style...yes they look nice; however, I'm very disappointed with Merrell.

I have been wearing Merrell shoes for years as walking shoes, and I've loved them. This is not up to par with Merrell. The shoes seem comfortable in the house but as soon as I started walking outdoors, it became apparent that there isn't enough lining on the inside. The rubbing and toughness of the shoe is beyond painful. I have tried to wear them in, but my feet hurt too much. Now I have to buy new shoes. They'll be Keen.

First pair, toe area fell apart; fast! -- 3 weeks. Zappos was great, sent new pair, said first must be defective. I agreed. 2nd pair, same exact model, same exact problem. Have not contacted them yet. I am a man that swears by Merrell for strength, I have for 15 years. This is my first try (now second) with Merrells for my wife. She loves everything about them. Hence the problem, this model, good for a month.

I had to send these shoes back after wearing them in the house one full day. Out of the box I found them pretty uncomfortable but decided to give them a full day of wear. I was on my feet all day cooking. I could feel pressure on the sides of both feet. As the day wore on, my feet began to hurt. When I took them off late at night, I could see exactly where the pressure points were. Both sides of each foot on the side of both large and small toes was very, very red. That told me that these shoes are not wide enough in the ball of the foot, and I wear a medium. The overall fit was a very wide toe box, but not where it fit the ball of my foot. I had to send them back. I ordered Keen Voyager to try next. After having two pair of Merrells this pair was the most uncomfortable pair that I ever tried.

I just took these on my usual 4 mile walk. The blisters! The inside of the shoe has seams that protrude into the shoe box. I bought this shoe as a wide because Merrill, in general, seems to be making their shoes smaller and narrower. Now add sloppy construction to the list. Oh, and the right shoe has started to squeak - after one walk. I think I've had it with Merrill. They need to clean up their manufacturing standards.

Back heel slips. This was going to be my 3rd pair of Merrell's - the difference was my past two were Merrell Siren Sport.

Very disappointed in the waterproof of these shoes...there is no waterproof. Since they're not waterproof they smell terrible when wet. The comfort and traction are very good.

One size was just too small. Half size up was way too big. So I'll have to try something else. Curiously, I bought essentially this shoe two years ago and it was great.
