Customer Reviews Merrell Jungle Moc Waterproof

Has Merrell changed this shoe shape? This is the third Jungle Moc I've bought. It used to be much wider in the toe box - what I needed. Love the shoe otherwise - but I can't wear the new shape any more.

Ordered size 8. Only real concern is that it immediately rubbed a small blister on the top of one toe. I would blame it on my toe, but the toe itself is quite ordinary and I haven't ever had this issue with my other Merrell Jungle Mocs or any other shoe. The shoe has room for a thick sock. If I were planning to wear with normal-weight cotton trouser socks, I'd try sizing down a half-size. The shoes are definitely warm. I don't love the black sueded finish and would prefer a matte leather. I also wish the dark gray accent color of the rubber on the side was brighter - orange or yellow or light green, for example. As a possible alternative I'm trying the Keen Winter Kaci in size 8.5. It also has room for a thick sock and hasn't rubbed my toe at all. It's also quite warm while being noticeably lighter-weight with a more flexible sole.

I am a consistent size 7 and these were way too tight.

Interestingly, the Waterproof Moc size 8 fits slightly more snug than regular Moc size 8. I'll keep the size 8 regular Moc. Must return waterproof version as neither the 8 nor 8.5 have enough room in the toe box for my wide foot. I generally wear a 7.5 if roomy toe box, or 7 wide, or 8 to get room in toe box area.

I purchased these to replace the non-waterproof Jungle Moc, but the fit is quite different. I needed to order a half size up (from 9.5 to 10), and they run narrow. It’s very tight around the top over my arch. Still, I like the shoe, so I’m using my husband’s shoe stretchers to try to loosen the fit.

I'm still in the deciding phase for these shoes. I have an old pair of this style and I love them, but I've had them for years. This new pair is rather snug and I'm wearing them around the house trying to decide if they will stretch enough to be really comfortable. I ordered my usual size and there is plenty of room in the length/toe, but the rest of the shoe feels like a compression sock. I have a narrow to normal width foot, so a wider foot person could not wear these. Love the style and my old pair is at least 15 years old and still going strong. I just wanted a waterproof pair.

I was Really disappointed. I have Merrell Jungle mocs that are 30 years old, half a size smaller than what I bought. They are SO comfortable and I can wear thick socks with them. I tried on the new ones with very thin socks...still too tight across the widest part of the foot and NO toe room. I will be gluing my old ones and I might try a larger size, I haven't decided yet. FYI: the old ones are in great shape for so much wear and tear.

I really wanted to love these waterproof Jungle Mocs because I like the regular ones so much, but they were not comfortable to me at all. The shoe was very stiff and ungiving on my foot and I had to struggle to even get them to bend enough to pull on. Once on, they fit, but they were just not comfortable enough! So, back to the regular Jungle Mocs for me!

These are much smaller than they used to be, and the style has changed as well, now having side vents rather than the previous neoprene collar. These now look more like loafers. But they are very small. My other Merrells are all 38 and 39, my previous Jungle Moc is a 39, and these 39s are way too small. I'd need to go up to at least 41 or higher to fit. Too upset to even deal with that right now. I don't know why Merrell has changed the fit of all their shoes.

I ordered these in 2 sizes before a vacation. Neither worked for me. Both sizes felt narrow and I didn't feel very much support. The top edge of the shoe also felt like it was too close to my ankle. I do have flat arches and a bunion but usually do not need a wide width. It's a good looking shoe and a good price but didn't work for me. I ended up with the Dansko Paisley which was more expensive but fit me better. Thank you, Zappos, for getting them to me before my vacation to rainy Alaska!

I usually own two pair of these at a time; thick sock pair in size 9, thin or no socks, 8 1/2. This allows for an orthotic under the insole. I now need to replace the size 9, and twice I've gotten shoes that are tighter than the 8 1/2 WITH ORTHOTIC! I guess it's just the new normal for these shoes. I just hope this isn't a "stretching out" issue and that I can buy a 9 1/2 and have them fit for the life of the shoe, or if I'll start walking out of them

I didn't purchase this shoe because it really runs to the small side. I normally wear an 8 1/2 but ordered that size 9, as Merrells usually run a little short. Well, this one really ran short. I then ordered a 9 1/2, but that was still short. I stopped at that point, as I have never worn a size 10 in a shoe. The regular Jungle Moc ran true to size. I ordered an 8 1/2 and that fit fine. I really didn't understand the way they sized this shoe. If it does work for you, it seems like a fine shoe.
