Customer Reviews Merrell All Out Blaze Aero Sport

BLUF: the quality of these shoes has declined (2014-2016) to the point where I will not be buying again. A history of declining quality: I bought the AllOut Fuse in early 2014, wore them a lot and put a lot of miles on them. By September of 2015, they had to be retired. I replaced them with the AllOut Blaze that made it about a year. I purchased the AllOut Blaze Aero in April and thought that I had found the best version yet. It was light and allowed airflow. Dried incredibly quickly when it got wet. However, less than 2 months later, the tread was so worn down on the outside that there was nothing left but the sole. End result, totally unstable. Unacceptable decline in quality. I would share a photo of this, and I am happy to send one to customer service if they would ask, but the "Upload Your Images" doesn't seem to want to take a photo upload.

I initially ordered size 9 and they were much larger than my regularly purchased size 9 Moab Ventilators. So I exchanged them for size 8.5 and they're now too loose in the heel, because the back of the shoe is so much lower. I just wish these vegan models matched the design of the very successful Moab Ventilator!

I have ten-plus pairs of Merrells and love them. I credit Merrell with saving me from foot pain that had become unbearable. For some reason, though I have pain every time I try to wear these shoes. Maybe it's the lack of an insole. (They do look great and the mesh works well in hot weather) I will will always buy and recommend Merrells. Guess I just struck out with these.
