Customer Reviews Merrell Chameleon Prime Stretch

The shoe fits really well. But the loops that hold the lace (near the toe) broke away. Save your money. Don't buy it!

I really don't know why a company like Merrell would change the design of a very successful, comfortable and good-looking shoe in a way that makes it unwearable. When I received the Merrell Chameleon Prime Stretch from Zappos, I literally could not pull it onto my foot -- really!-- I'm not making this up. I have owned three pairs of the previous model (the Merrell Chameleon 4) and they were great: comfortable, durable, and attractive enough that you could wear them anywhere. I've trekked four continents with the Merrell Chameleon 4 and wore each pair completely out. I read the other reviews complaining about the design changes but I didn't take them seriously -- but now I see the other reviewers were absolutely correct. So, I'm returning the shoes to Zappos. I'm very unhappy about this because I loved my Chameleon 4's but I'll have to find something else to take their place because the Chameleon Prime Stretch shoes are not wearable.

My Merrell Chameleon 4's are about shot. I thought the Prime Stretch would be an improved version, but it is not. The sole has been changed and rides too high on the instep to be comfortable. The opening in the shoe is too high and too tight. I wear a 13 and have a wide foot. The Prime Stretch 13 only comes in one width that is too narrow for my comfort. Wish I had bought 5 pairs of the Chameleon 4's.
