Nice shoes. Runs a whole number large. I am 11 in running shoes (Nike). I ordered 11 in these shoes and feels like 12 or 12.5.

I ordered these in the brown. Like a previous reviewer, I liked the comfort of the fit but felt the honeycomb pattern was a bit 'loud' for someone my age. I sent them back and at the advice of the other reviewer ordered them in black, a definite improvement. Keeping these.

These Merrell hiking shoes are terrific. I wore them yesterday for the first time. Very comfortable lightweight shoe. I have rather narrow feet and these fit well. True to size. The color and style are great. I got them all muddy and they hosed right off and look new again. I say these are a win.

The speediness of the delivery was very good. I received the shoes in two days.
The sneakers themselves are very light and comfortable. My feet aren't the easiest on shoes and these are very well made.
I highly recommend this product.

I absolutely love Merrell shoes and have had many pairs over the last 10 years, but was greatly disappointed at how narrow these shoes were and how the arch support was raised. My feet are more flat and therefore these raised arches are incredibly uncomfortable. I will be exchanging thankful Zappos is so easy to work with!

Likely the most comfortable shoes I own. Wearing for casual use not hiking. I can walk on concrete all day and still be good to go. Have the black/silver now but they are so comfortable that I am going to get not her color.

I thought I would try Merrel, Ive been buying Nike trail shoes for years, I find the Merrells to be very comfortable with great support, I will be buying another pair.

Bought these hiking shoes for my husband. He needed something other than his running shoes for moderate hikes. These are very light, not nerdy (common problem in the hiking footwear arena) and have a sturdy sole. They are usually worn while carrying a two year old in a backpack and have tolerated the extra weight well.

I knew what type and size of shoe I wanted. I called Zappos and explained to the agent my needs. She asked me to wait a moment so she could consult with a colleague. She returned, suggested, I bought, it fit.

I found this to be a comfortable shoe that is pretty much is true to the indicated size. I have some custom orthotics in the shoe and they work out reasonably well.

Shoes look and feel great! This is my second pair or Merrell shoes. I wear them nearly every day and I go through them in about a year. They seem to wear out quicker than they should but I like the way they fit and feel on my size 15 feet.

I've had a chance to wear these a for a month or so. These really are just glorified tennis shoes honestly. They are pretty comfy, but if you are hiking in the mountains, on rocks etc.. you might consider getting the merrill ventilator. It's my fault for choosing these as I thought that I could use these as an all around shoe. Yeah they work for that but they don't really excel at any one thing. Hindsight I wish I had bought something a little tougher specifically. anyway, thats a personal preference. What do you need it for? Other than that, they seem to be about a half size to big and a little wider than I would like, again personal preference. Overall they look good and feel pretty good, and they do make a pretty good all around shoe, especially if you just hike easy trails. I would recommend them for that. Not quite worth the cost to me, but close. For true hiking I'd go up to a better Merrell or a Keen.

Comfortable and lightweight shoes that I plan to use for some light hiking. One thing to note is I ordered the grey/orange and they are much lighter grey in the photo than in real life.

Very comfortable feeling, just like a good tennis shoe, but a little tougher.. Sizing is a bit off, they run a little narrow, and maybe a 1/2 size too large depending on the type of sock you wear.
I wanted something that would be a good all arounder, some hiking, jogging and just around town. I think these fit the bill. Just depends on your needs. On day hikes in mountainous and rocky terrain they had good traction, were lightweight and breathable and I could move pretty quick, but my feet were wishing for a little tougher sole at the end of the day, but..I like that you can also wear these around town or whatever, and not have to lug around a big hiking shoe. I have had a little trouble keeping the laces tied also. Hindsight, wish I would have bought the Moab, I think those might have been better suited to my needs, leaning more towards hiking, but I'm perfectly happy with these. There's always a bit of a trade off.

Great right out of the box, very light and great grip. Toe box feels a half size to big but they will work. I wish they had the omni lacing system, but oh well.

I have had a number of different Merrell products before and their sizing, for me at any rate, is consistent, so I can order with confidence that the shoes will fit properly. The only problem with the Grassbow Air is that they seem to make your feet sweat more and therefore overtime that can result in a mild (in my case) odor.

Happy with this shoe. Just took it on a two week business trip. I needed a shoe I could wear on the trail and the tread mill.
I am using an after-market insole.

Love the shoes and they feel great but I have a problem I'm not seeing in other reviews, so maybe it's my feet. The insoles get pushed around and I end up having to take the shoes off and reposition the inserts. Going to have to glue them I think. Otherwise great.

This is a well constructed shoe and is comfortable on the foot. However, it runs much larger than advertised. Merrells tend to run large, but these are even beyond the norm. Thanks Zappos for awesome returns!

These are not very durable. I've worn Merrells as my everyday shoes for years, though usually the more boot-like styles. I decided to order these on a whim. They're light, fit pretty well (arches were a bit too high for my feet though), and I liked the style. However, they didn't last long. There's a thin outer-most layer of rubber/plastic stuff which is particularly delicate. Some of it scraped off after simply sitting cross-legged on the ground a few times. Even worse, when I went to wash them, this layer started peeling off, and almost fell off completely in a few places. I consider that a design defect so I returned them.

Very comfortable but very poorly made. I had these for less than 2 months and I only wore them occasionally for light office work and the shoes completely ripped apart from the sole and fell apart. These shoes are overpriced junk.
