I had to return because the fit was much larger than I expected. I usually take a size 9. The boots look solid and well made so I have re-ordered in a smaller size.

I really like these shoes, but I should have gotten the wide style. I didn't realize how much my foot would spread during a hike. Normally wides don't give me enough support so I didn't go for it.
I'll wear them out because I'm stuck with them now, but will be sure to get wide next time.

Fit the right foot perfectly, but felt a half size too short on the left foot. Also, the tongue was just too over-padded puffy for me, made lacing the shoes difficult. Returning.

These felt a little too big and looked huge, as if there were lots of extra padding around the middle of the foot girdling the arch. I liked the generous width and depth of the toe box, but was afraid I'd end of slopping around in them.

Wore these on a hiking trip. The last thing I would have thought was my feet killing me. These really were brutal on the bottom of heels and oddly around heel.

Have bought Moab for many years. Now it seems the insole has been changed to a more rigid material. More rigid arch support, a small cushion for heal (which I don't need) and thinner, rigid fore foot bed which gives the toebox more room but very little cushion. Ouch. I loved the Ortholite insoles which are not available thru Ortholite and the Merrell web site has stopped stocking. Please make Ortholite available! Meantime I take insole out and replace with over the counter insoles.

The one thing about Merrells, I'm finding, is that if you need a wide toebox like me, Merrell will fit that, but the heel always ends up being too wide and my foot slips out. So, a narrow heel and wide toebox is hard to find.

Too stiff so I returned them.
Usually Merrells are instantly comfy but these were not comfy at all.

This shoe seemed monstrous on, and still the toe bed cut off near the pinky toe. I think I'd trip over these because of the width. Looks huge.

Love the look/styling of the shoe BUT it is not true to size, running long and wide; it is especially wide in the towbox ... not wide like giving toes room to breath but wide like 'B' width is more like 'W.' unfortunately these are going to be returned.

Not sue what happened to the Merrells that I loved so much ? These are much wider and have a very high arch in them . As another reviewer worded it they felt and look boxy , I would have to agree with that. Will continue to look for another low cut hiker maybe I will try Keen

Felt "clunky". Too much shoe for my purposes of light hiking/travel walking.

I wanted to love this shoe, as I have always loved Moab hiking boots. However, the sizing just seems way off to me. With Merrell, shoes always seem to fit true to size for me, so I got my usual size 7. Even with my thickest socks on, my heel is moving around like crazy in the shoe, and I am getting blisters galore. Unfortunately, I didn't discover this until taking it out on a few short trails, so now I guess I am stuck with it. At any rate, definitely runs way large and almost seems like the size was labeled incorrectly to me.

I used to always be a size 8.5 medium but have expanded into a 9 Wide. Based on reviews of these being wider than normal, I bought these in sizes 8.5 and 9 Medium, and for comparison, a pair of Moab 3's in size 9 wide width. These Vents felt like wearing a frying pan on my foot. The sole is stiffer than stiff and super uncomfortable. The width was fine. While the 8.5's were WAY too small (my big toe was rubbing at the top inside) the 9's were way too big and felt like floppy frying pans on my feet. It was more like I was trying on an 8 and a 9.5 instead of 8.5 and 9. The width for "Medium" was quiet roomy, I just couldn't stand the uncomfortable footbed. The Moab 3 is so much more comfortable and worth the full price compared to these.

Nice shoes but not for me. Not much arch support. Heavy, heavy shoes. Good width in the toe area. Just not as comfortable as others.

I bought these shoes for the nice bright blue. Sadly the picture totally misrepresents the actual color. It is actually an ugly, blah, grayish, depressing color. I really resent these companies who make the pictures what the product SHOULD be and then you get a tired dull substitute. It's clearly not an accident or the now infamous line about YOUR SCREEN MAY NOT SHOW THE IMAGE CORRECTLY. It's total BS!
Yes, I immediately returned these awful shoes!

I bought these hoping for a comfortable shoe. They fit great but there is no cushion in the sole. I guess if I'm keeping them I'll be shopping for a good insert. Pretty disappointed.

I ordered my normal size and then a half size larger and both sizes did not fit. I have slightly wide feet and these fit more like an average width in the wide size. Both are being returned and I’m just done with this brand.

I’ve had some great Merrells in the past but the shoe design seems to have changed and now the arch support is to far back and doesn’t line up with my arch. Too bad because these are very nice hiking shoes but I had to return them.

I've worn Merrell for years - all different styles. My previous Ventilators (size 7) were too big after losing weight so I sold them. Ordered 1/2 size smaller & we're still too big so ordered another 1/2 size smaller which of course are slightly too tight in the forefoot. I bought Moab mid with gore Tex 2 years ago size 6.5 & they fit great with my winter sock, these however don't.

I really wanted these shoes to fit. The toe box is very large and roomy in fact it was too roomy which is why I am returning them. They felt a good half size larger than my usual size 9 shoes. The foot bed is removable which is a plus since I have orthodotic insoles. Even with the extra room taken up by the insoles the shoes were just too big. I am disappointed as they are really nice looking.

My boots didn't come this stiff. That's why I ordered a pair of the shoes. I have been wearing them around the house trying to break them in. Not very happy .
