Customer Reviews Merrell Siren Edge

I loved these shoes for the first 3 months. Then the upper part of the shoe started developing holes. While these are incredibly comfortable, the top part of the shoe is not durable and has multiple holes on each shoe now. When you pay $90, you expect it to last longer than these have.

I bought these for some day hiking trips in the Smoky Mountains and for Yellowstone and the Tetons. We just returned from the Smokies where I was able to wear them on 4 strenuous trails which involved climbing over rocks, roots, and pebbles and up steep terrain that was very wet and slippery. These shoes did not disappoint!! Over four days we hiked 45 miles up and down mountains and besides the normal ache you would expect for a little while in the legs I felt great! My feet did not ache because these shoes were comfortable and gave great support. Even walking in rain, puddles and mud I was impressed with how dry they stayed. Any bit of water that did get into the shoe dried rather quickly. I bought a half size down as it felt a little more comfortable and snug for trekking. I would HIGHLY recommend these shoes for hiking and am excited to use them on our next trip!

I loved, loved, loved these shoes. They were comfortable right out of the box and look great. Unfortunately, after less than 10 months of normal wear they are already falling apart. I would expect that a $90 pair of shoes would last longer than that. Shame on you Merrell. Very disappointed!!! :(

Very comfortable shoe. Good cushion, but still has good support. No break-in needed. Looks good on the foot; makes foot look small.

Very comfortable from the minute I put them on. Wore them immediately to run errands and then all weekend to attend a festival where I walked miles each day. I wear a size 9 normally but in Merrell's I wear a 10 to allow enough room in the toe box for my hammer toes! I may have to buy another color.

I bought these last minute for a recent trip in Colorado. They were incredibly comfortable all day long from the mountains to the streets. And they never even needed any break in period. The black/purple are cute enough and didn't make me feel like I was wearing clunky hiking shoes. Loved this purchase!

These shoes felt perfect the minute I put them on. I have size 10B feet with bunions and sensitivity to anything that's not perfectly comfortable. These feel light, perfectly sized, and they make my feet look good. They give me a feeling of loft - a sensation of being light on my feet. Some shoes are comfortable "on paper" - meaning there's nothing truly uncomfortable about the fit, but still -wearing them requires energy expenditure. Other shoes give me energy. These shoes do that - they take no energy from me, and make me feel invigorated.

I like this Merrill shoe because it is lightweight and looks nice. I wear it for everyday and for hiking. I wear a 7.5 in Clarks; an 8 in Merrill. This shoe works well for a narrow heel and wider toes. I've had them for a few weeks and I'm very happy with them. Even though they are not waterproof, I have worn them in the rain and wet grass, and they don't soak through, at least not very quickly. The gray color goes well with jeans.

MERRELL SIREN EDGE is my choice among the shoes (Bruno Magli, Dansko, Alegria, Ariat) lined up at the front door. Merrell Siren Edge feels like a "support sock-shoe". It is light weight, supportive, pliable, slimming to the foot, conservative, casual and adaptable for many occasions. It is durable and has lasted a long time. The very long shoe strings are showing some wear. The material on the sole of the shoe is firm, wears well, supportive, comfortable to walk on and visually blends with the rest of the shoe. My black with purple accent Merrells are older and will now go on travel/hiking vacations. My new Merrell Siren Edge shoes will be at the front door ready to go to work, business travel, casual dining. No break-in is needed when wearing Merrell Siren Edge. Put them on with or without socks and you are ready to go. I usually wear below black ankle socks with purple accents. I purchased two Merrell Siren Edge: black/purple and black (with grey accents). The purple accent gives the shoe a subtle contemporary appeal. Enjoy!

I was looking for an all around sneaker to wear in the spring/summer/fall that was lightweight, comfortable and supportive. I wanted something to wear daily that could also allow for the spontaneous park visit for running around with the kids or a short hike in the woods. This shoe is exactly what I've been looking for. Vibram sole felt a bit narrow at first and I was worried it wouldn't be stable enough but haven't had an issue. Great shoe for this active mom!

The other reviewers are right. The upper part (trimming) after only a couple of weeks started to crack and the color faded. These shoes are not going to last long. They, for sure, are not going to look good more than a couple of months at most. It's very unfortunate because these shoes are incredibly comfortable and most important: my feet never hurt when I wear them, even though I have arthrosis on my two big toes.

These are exactly as described and great for backroads, gravel, and mule tracks. Size is accurate, roomy toe box. I needed a bit more space for big toe, packed in a few golf balls to stretch the area just a bit. I find European sizes are best for judging size since US sizes tend to vary. Choose same size as Ecco or ugg.

For the last thirty years the rule has been that athletic shoes have to be as weird and clownish looking as possible, and that the better and more expensive the shoe is, the more ridiculous looking it has to be. I like Merrill hiking shoes and always buy the ones with the best ratings, but to me it's a big bonus that these shoes are shaped like an Oxford rather than a mothership and that I could buy them in an understated neutral color.

I purchased these shoes for the sole purpose of yard work to include mowing the yard. I wore sneakers in the past but they just didn't provide the support nor the grip required for a hilly terrain. The Merrell Siren Edge is very comfortable, pretty light weight and provide outstanding grip. In addition to being a good utility shoe they are also pretty cute. I have no doubt that these would be great for moderate hiking as well. Paired with Smart Wool socks, these shoes are hard to beat!

There's always a risk ordering shoes online but I find Merrell's to be fairly consistent in sizes. These were no exception. They are a nice weight - not going to weigh me down walking and I love the color. No problems using them all day right out of the box and no rubbing on the back of my ankle which is gives it an all around 5 star rating from me.

I am an 8.5 and ordered 8.5. Fit like a glove. I wore these first time hiking in Arizona on very rugged terrain. No pain or break-in necessary - what a great pair of shoes! Comfortable from minute one. I'm thrilled.

I absolutely love these shoes. I bought them to wear at work (healthcare worker). They didn't need any break in period. They fit so well. I always go a 1/2 size larger on my tennis shoes because my feet swell when I'm on them all day. I am thinking of buying another pair to have at home.

As always Merrell fits perfectly! I love their shoes! I have feet and ankle issues and Merrell gives me the stability I need in order to remain active. Highly recommend!

These are the mosonly comfortable, good looking shoes I have worn I need a very long time. Right out of the box and with orthotics, I was able to wear them and walk in them all day without any problems. I will purchase another pair as soon as my size comes back in stock! Great fit and comfort.

I love the look of these shoes. They are not heavy or "orthopedic" looking. I read reviews and ordered my normal "street shoe" size. At first try, I thought they fit perfectly. However, I tried them on again and after walking around inside for a few minutes believe they would fit better if I went up a half size. I overpronate and these shoes are very supportive and stable feeling. I think a 7.5 will be perfect.

It was time to replace an older pair of Merrell hiking shoes, and I settled on these. Maybe it's not a good idea to buy a pair of shoes and take them out for a 6 mile hike without breaking them in, but that's exactly what I did. They're lightweight and were fairly breathable on a hot and muggy day, comfortable (no hot spots or blisters), and had good traction on the trail on a variety of terrain. I purchased a half size larger because my feet tend to swell when I'm walking long distances, and it gives my toes a little more wiggle room. I'm really happy with these and looking forward to logging lots of trail miles with them.

Love these. I read so many reviews on so many hiking shoes before purchasing these. They fit perfectly and I love the way you don't look like you're wearing hiking shoes. I took them out of the box and immediately hiked an intermediate 4+ mile hike in Colorado with a 1000 foot increase in elevation. I did not have to break them in at all and they gave me great support and grip on the rocky trail. I also wore them out for pizza and beer after (this is why I hike) and I didn't feel out of place wearing these. I wish I had purchased these months ago. Great purchase.

i work in an ad agency in LA, so i can basically where what most folks would call "hiking clothes" – and i bought these for work. i usually where keen hiking shoes, so for me, these seem very lightweight. i like them because they're very comfortable, but also, i really like the style of the shoe. it's a bit of "flash", but not too much!

I love the color and style of the Merrill Siren Edge. I get many compliments on them. After reading other reviews I went 1/2 size up and it fits me well. I do have narrow feet so width was no issue for me but might be tight for a wider foot. I am on my feet 8 hours a shift and these give me good support and are comfortable. They can be squeaky sometimes which others have commented. I don't know if it's the insole that causes that but it's minor. If I worked in a library it might be bothersome but I do not. As always Zappos delivery was swift and I was able to use my reward points as additional savings on my Merrill's.

I've bought Merrells before (2 pairs in recent years--Siren 2 Sport, most recently) and wear them daily to work, in addition to hiking...it's Seattle after all! I have loved them. However, when these Merrells arrived in the mail, I opened them up and they looked extremely cheap; they've gone to stickers on the sides, apparently, rather than cloth detailing. (See photo.) Anyway, they fit just fine, though the arch support for me was a little too far forward and I'd have needed to change the insoles. Not insurmountable; I've needed that before for all my Merrells. Unfortunately, the style was a deal-breaker for me, and I sent them back. I bought a pair of Oboz instead. Maybe in 2 years I'll give you another shot, Merrell....
