Customer Reviews Merrell Freewheel Lace

These are great looking shoes that are comfortable - what else could you want? I recommend them! (I am not an arch-support guy and these work fine for me)

These sneakers are great. So comfortable! Nice soft leather. My wife really likes the way they look on me too. Really happy I decided on these.

These are amazing. They have the classic Merrell fit and finish, they are incredibly light - 1½ ounce each, size 10. They are true to size and width.

I bought these for my husband. He has extremely wide feet (EEE). The leather is soft enough and the laces provide enough of a custom fit that they still fit well. There is some decent arch support. The shoes look great, and my husband couldn't be happier with them. We will likely purchase more pairs in the future.

The shoes fit like a minimalist shoe, being wider across the ball of the foot and short in the height. They have a soft medium-thickness footbed though, so they're more comfortable to wear while standing or unadapted to minimal shoes. The height of the footbox in minimalist shoes is normally acceptable because the material of the upper is softer and very flexible, making it fit more like a reinforced sock than a regular shoe. These fit like minimalist shoes, but don't have as soft an upper. The material feels like it might break in a little, it's certainly softer than most leather (-like?) uppers, but it's still a little stiff. As a result, extended wear feels a little like it's crushing the top of your foot down flat until either the footbed, the uppers, or your foot are broken in. The heels ate soft, but have a fabric strip on them that helps reinforce them against collapse and thicken them against sharp heel pressure. You don't get the heel cutting into your foot because it's a thick tounge instead. You also don't get the heel collapsing like it would over time if it were just the softer leather material. Overall a great shoe with very high quality construction that's generally much more comfortable than I would have thought from looking at them.

all good

The shoe was advertised as charcoal but is actually dark olive green on the leather and charcoal on the tongue and heel.

Color is a bit different in person, than what it appears online. Likely fine if you have a higher end monitor. In bright light the shoe almost has a deep emerald undertone. Still sharp lines, and very comfy, so not a major gripe.

Love it! I can wear this pair all day long and not feel any discomfort. A my only complaint is the sole, I'd like a bit more traction and durability. It wears out too quickly.

Fit fine , comfortable, expected “charcoal” to be gray, but they are actually olive green, which is weird, but not totally awful.

Comfy fit right out of the box. Plenty of room in the toe box as well. I ordered 10's which were just a bit too large and my son liked them so he kept them. The 9.5s fit prefectly for me. Like them so much that I bought another pair in a different color.

This is my second pair of Merrell shoes. The quality of materials, workmanship and design is excellent. Merrell will be my first choice for new shoes in the future.

Comfortable out of the box. True to size. Reasonably stylish. Good build quality.

Overall, a good looking comfortable sneaker that can perform double duty as both casual with shorts or dress up a little with slacks. They run a little wider than I expected, although I have narrow feet.

Good looking and comfortable. Great with shorts or casual days in the office.

I like the look and style. casual wear yet dressy. thin socks only and it is a bit smaller than expected but I do like them

Overall good casual shoe

They are very sharp but are very wide in the heel. Even laced up quite tightly, they still slipped off my heels, even though they fit well everywhere else.

So far so good. I've worn these 4 or 5 times now. I was looking for a shoe to wear to work in a business casual/casual environment. I use a standing desk with an anti-fatigue mat most of the day and these have been great so far. They are slightly clunker looking in-person than the pictures online.

I love(ed) everything about these shoes except one thing: They are too narrow for my feet. I wore them for an hour or so sitting on my couch and they made my feet hurt, so I had to return them. I would buy them again in a heartbeat if they released wider widths. [For reference, New Balance's EE width fits me perfectly.]

Quality shoe. 2nd pair of merrells, their quality never disappoints. Sizing is true to fit. Stylish as well.

Very lightweight and comfortable. I have owned many pairs of Merrells over the years, and have always ordered the same size. This is the first pair that feels a bit too long, maybe a 1/2 size.

Fits great. Looks even better. Just getting started on breaking in but they are a little hard on the feet as of right now, after walking in them all day.

Very stylish looking shoes. I love the look. The material is a bit thin, that may be good or bad, not sure. Not much arch support but over decently comfortable.
