I relied on customer reviews when ordering these sneakers and couldn't be happier with the fit. In Brooks and Asics sneakers, I take an 8.5. I ordered these in an 8 and they are perfect. Plenty of arch support and very lightweight. I wear through the soles of sneakers quickly so I am hoping the heavier tread will last longer.

Love these Merrells. Merrells almost always work for me and these are lightweight & incredibly comfortable. I usually take a 9 in Merrells but I took the advice of reviewers and got the 8 1/2 which is perfect. These are not super cushioned shoes - but I wear no show running socks that have some cushioning so it's just right. I use these for long walks/light hiking. I wouldn't run with them because I need more cushioning in a running shoe. I got the bright pink - great color, especially with jeans.

This is my first pair of Merrell athletic shoes. I have several pair of clogs and sandals. Ordered these in my go-to Merrell size: 8M. And they fit perfect. Thank you Zappos!

I ordered one half size down as other commenters suggested and was glad I did. Great fit, attractive, neutral shoe, nice laces. Very pleased.

Great shoe for day hikes. It has plenty of room in the toebox, so it works if your foot is slightly wider. It runs 1/2 size larger, but you need that if you are wearing thicker socks and/or will be on your feet all day. I tried buying 1/2 smaller than my regular size and it was tight. The colors - I bought both the bright pink and the bright blue - give a pop of color to the outfit.

Love these shoes! Comfortable and provide great support. I use them for outdoor exercise on fast walks. I followed the common advice on these shoes and bought 1/2 size smaller than I would normally wear, a size I haven't bought in years! It was good advice, and they fit fine. In fact I still need to wear heavy socks to get them to fit just perfect. My only complaint is that the shoe laces are incredibly short. You can barely tie a single bow and if you pull too hard, the whole bow comes apart. I think I will have to buy my own shoe laces. Funny way for a company to save money. But I do love the shoes.

I've worn Brooks forever and always been happy with them, but none of the newer models seemed to fit me as they have in the past. I live in my Merrell clogs, so thought I'd try these. I'm very happy with the support, fit, and comfort of them.

I BOUGHT THESE SHOES FOR CASUAL COMFORT AS I HAVE KNEE JOINT ISSUES AND A BUNION. MY FEET ACTUALLY AREN'T WIDE BUT I ORDER WIDE TO ACCOMMODATE THE BUNION. WIDE WIDTH WAS NOT AVAILABLE SO I TRIED AN 8.5 MEDIUM. THEY FIT PERFECTLY!! FOR OTHERS WHO MIGHT HAVE A BUNION, THESE SHOES ARE DESIGNED WITH SOFT FABRIC ON BOTH SIDES NEAR EACH JOINT ALLOWING FOOT EXPANSION. THE SHOES ARE CUTE. I DID WANT BLACK, BUT SETTLED FOR GRAY. I ADDED AN ORTHOTIC AS WELL.

Extremely comfortable shoes! They're what I wear for all of my walking and hiking. I've had plantar fasciitis, so am very careful about what I put on my feet. My orthotics slide in easily. They do run just a tad long. A 9 is usually perfect for me, but this 9 has a little extra length. It works for me because of the orthotics and because I plan to wear them in winter, too, with thicker socks. The mint is a lovely color! I've found that it's hard to go wrong with Merrells.

I like my new Merrell Grassbow Airs. I'm glad I looked at the reviews. Most of them said to go up a size. That helped me get the perfect size. I needed to put an insole for more arch support, but the removable sole made that easy. Ordering through Zappos was easy, and fast.

These are great training shoes, well made, sturdy, comfortable and lightweight. I had a previous version for years. I use them on stair master, treadmill, elliptical. If between sizes order down, however.

I purchased this shoe because it was rated #2 for 2014 by Outside Magazine. I did not like the look of the #1 rated shoe as much as this one. This shoes is great for day hikes. Very comfortable for short hikes on moderate terrain. It also has decent traction.

I wear a 7.5 medium and these sneakers fit me perfectly. They are so flexible and light weight. Love them for walking my dog; especially on asphalt. Good arch support.

Merrill does it again! These shoes are very supportive and comfortable. They do seem to run a half size big. I usually wear a 10.5 (US) but after reading reviews decided to go with a size 10 (US). Great fit.

There seems to be a lot of variability in the fit of these shoes. Seem to run large so would recommend ordering 1/2 size smaller than regular. Other Merrells run true to size.

These are very comfortable. My foot size is 6.5 on the narrow side. I ordered these in a 6.5 and they work perfect for me. I am on my feet for 12-13 hour shifts. I couldn't do this with any shoe but Merrell. My previous work shoe was Merrell Siren Sport 2. These are as comfortable as the Siren Sport, but seem to have a little more cush.

I love these shoe, but I love Zappos even more! I ordered these on Memorial Day, and they were on my doorstep when I got home from work at 5:30 the very next day. The shoes are great, lightweight but sturdy, grippy, good toe. I wasn't sure about ordering them in a size 6 which is my normal shoe size, as it seems that a lot of athletic shoes run small and I have to get a 6.5, but these fit perfect. Look great too! These are my first pair of Merrells, and I'm really liking them.

These sneakers are awesome; better than the ones I got last year The bottom is wider so I have more stability when I walk and I like sneakers with removable insoles so I can put my insole in for more arch support I got a 1/2 size larger because my diabetic socks are thick and didn't want my toes rubbing.

These are nice walking shoes. I got them for a hospital setting. I am on my feet a lot and these shoes offer great back support. They feel comfortable and look good.

I love these shoes. They felt great - all but the length. I wear an 11.5. Many of the reviews that I read said that the shoe ran a half size too big so I ordered the 11. Sadly, my toe touched the front of the shoe and I have to send them back. I wish Merrell would carry larger women sized shoes. I used to wear an 11 and have loved the styles this brand carries.

I wanted to try a shoe that's softer than the Merrell Siren Sports I usually wear. I'm very pleased with the Merrell Grassbow Airs - the fit is excellent (albeit requiring a half size smaller than usual), they are nice and cushiony, and seem to be well-ventilated (only the summer will tell on that). Good shoe.

I love the blue color and the fabric. I was able to buy a medium width because of the fabric sides which did not press on the bunion that I have developed. I think they run a little long but I kept the 9 and added a Spenco inner sole. These are not heavy duty hiking shoes but more stylish all around walking, work out running arund shoes with support and stability.

After trying out several styles of Merrell light hiking shoes, I found the Grassbow to be the most comfortable, even though I ended up needing a half size smaller than the other styles. Wore them for a week of hiking in Sedona, AZ, after just a short break-in, and they were perfect! I have several foot issues, so I am very particular about my footwear. My orthotics fit fine in these.
