Customer Reviews Merrell Siren Hex Q2 E-Mesh

I just bought these hiking shoes for my trip to Arizona. I loved them at first! In DRY hiking conditions they are wonderful. I hiked up a mountain just fine but then it started raining and I SLID down the rest of the mountain! It was terrible. So slippery. Almost would've rather taken off my shoes and walked the rest of the way in my wet socks! Then the next day I stepped out of the car in a garage and immediately slipped and fell and slammed into the car! Currently icing my back as I type this! I am not a clumsy person! I am worried for my safety if I wear these shoes. Will not reccomend.

I absolutely loved the look of this shoe. The bleached aqua and gray was the perfect contrast for the crochet details to show. The construction was great too, with attention to detai, showcased by the durable overlay on the mesh over the toes. However, my heart broke because I had to return them. I tried them out indoors for a few hours on 2 different days. I ended up with shin splints and the most sore feet I've ever had. I have worn Merrells for 6 years (2 pairs of walking shoes, 2 pairs of sandals, and 2 pairs of hiking boots). I've loved every pair until this one. I'm still sad about it.

The Siren Hex Q2 - E-mesh is a disappointment. The toe box is long and curls up. The insole is hard and not comfortable. The sole is not substantial and doesn't support an arch. I will be returning them. I wanted to reorder the same Merrell sneakers I ordered 2 years ago. But of course they no longer offer them. I am tired of shoe companies changing styles and materials and continuing to charge the same high prices. Have fun making your profits but you lost a customer here!

I have always loved all products I've gotten from Merrell but this is a real disappointment in terms of quality. I've hiked in these less than 20 times and the inside leather lining above the toe is coming apart and falling down in one shoe making them completely unwearable. I tried these as a lighter weight alternative to the All Out Blaze which I literally wore for years with no issues. This was a mistake and waste of money.

Longtime Merrell fan and frequent buyer of both the Jungle Moc and Moab ventilator series for women's shoes, but first venture into a lighter weight athletic or hiking shoe for me and the Siren Hex Q2 mesh disappoints from first slip-on. Why? The way the tongue is stitched at the top above the laces leaves a lot of fabric/ harder material edging that rubs across the top of the midsection of your foot. No amount of loosening the laces helped with this rubbing problem. Another observation: there are no traditional eyelets in this shoe - rather, the laces are secure via fabric loops which I wondered would wear out/shred apart in time. Lastly, very little padding to the tongue of the shoe itself. This is in contrast to the MQM Flex shoe my husband purchased at the same time which has none of the these issues and he says is extremely comfortable on his feet from first slip-on. Sadly, I am returning these shoes - despite them looking rather cute!

I am disappointed with this hiking shoe. It has very little support and feels too light on my feet. It feels like a "summer" shoe and would not wear it in colder weather.

I purchased these shoes in August 2018, after only about 3 months of wear (3-4 days per week, about an hour and a half each day) there are holes on each shoe by my baby toe. Comfortable to wear but this quality issue would make me rethink purchasing Merrell hiking shoes in the future.

I LOVED these shoes. They fit true to size, had excellent support but they cut into my feet when I tested them around the house. I kept trying to get past that because I knew they were a perfect fit but the cutting into the bend of my foot was to great.
