Great trail shoe! Really nice color too, and overall a good shoe to wear everyday for comfort!

Love these shoes! Supportive in all the right places and super cute. Haven't taken them on a trail yet..But I think they'd do great because they aren't too heavy or clunky.

I ordered two pairs of Keens (my go-to for a decade) and a pair of Taos, these were by far the most comfy. New fan of Merrells!!

I received my shoes today, put them on and know I'm keeping them already. I have difficult feet - bunions, bones sticking out everywhere, high arches, narrow heel and wide feet - but these shoes do it for me! Plus, they are very attractive. I got the charcoal and I'm going to order the brindle as well. I ordered my normal size and they fit perfectly. Thanks Merrell!

Very comfortable out of the box. Great arch support. I usually size up a half size because my feet swell and these were no exception. I wore them for several hours and they were still very comfortable.

Great arch cushioning. Nice wide toe box for those of us who have feet that swell. Very comfortable out of the box. Shoelaces untie pretty easy but that can be dealt with.

This shoe is more of a hiking shoe. It is a little heavy for my use. Love the look of it though and it feels good on feet.

These are a perfect fit for me to use as an active walking/hiking shoe and even though I usually require a wide fit shoe, this works well.

These ran small in my experience. I've always worn a 5.5, 6, or mayyyybe a 6.5; I ordered these in a 6.5 to account for wool hiking socks, and they were too small. I was shocked. I could feel the ends of my toes rubbing on the front of the shoe. I exchanged for a size 7 and they fit! So weird. I've never once bought a size 7 shoe. I like how they look and they're super sturdy. If you want a little flex, these are not it. I'm happy with them so far!

Good fit and comfort. I hike on slick rock and they have good traction

These are great shoes! They seem a tiny bit short for my size 10 foot but they will work. I am satisfied with them.

Attractive, lightweight, comfortable out of the box. Typically, I wear a size 9 in Merrell shoes, but a size 9 in this style was too small. I exchanged for a size 9.5 and they are a good enough fit, but not roomy in the toe area. If I hadn't already walked 3 miles in them, I'd exchange for a size 10.

For me the fit was a bit wide especially through the heels. Shoes were too stiff to be comfortabl, and the arch support was more than I needed..Was hoping they'd be more like the Merrell Allout Rush style. I was looking for more of a trail running shoe, and ended up returning them.

I really liked the arch support in this shoe, but it was a bit short. I kept hitting my toes at the front of the shoe. Had to return it. Might buy a half size larger, unless I decide on a different shoe.

Size and fit are okay. They’re very stiff & will take time to break in.

I had high hopes but the arch support was insufficient for my needs and had to return them. Unusual for Merrill.

Size was good, but shoes are wider than described. I think after they break in I will be able to tighten the laces to help them fit better.

Wanted to like these. Nice color and style. Too wide/loose in the main part and my foot slid up and down. Had to return. This is not the case for other Merrells in this size.

I like this shoe OK. I've had about 8 Moab Ventolators and have loved each of them. I didn't really like the colors of the MV line this year so I went with this Alversone, online, no trying on. It is not as cushion-y and cozy as MV but they are firm and supportive, lightweight. Overall OK but not as loveable as my Moab Ventolators have been, sorry.

I like these shoes for everyday. I have a narrow foot so having laces let's me control how wide the show fits. I got these for n a size 8.5 to allow for thick socks during winter.

Runs half a size large and the arch support is pretty extreme. Cute though!

So far so good. I purchased a pair of these a year ago and they squeaked, thankfully an online shoe company took them back. I reordered them this year in gray (storm) and no squeaking. They were a bit rigid to begin with so I am breaking them in slowly just doing walks less than 2 miles. I like the gray color but thought that with the light aqua blue as shoe accents they should've had the same color laces instead of gray. I ordered a Siren Sport 3 earlier hoping it would be the great shoe it was in the past but there was a sizing issue, the 8, which is my normal Merrell size was too small and the 8.5 was too big - how can that be? So returned both sizes sadly and bought these. I use my shoes for walking dogs and light hiking. I live in the desert so a lightweight hiker is a must and I always feel more stable on my feet with a vibram sole.

Very comfy. I just hope that they change the type to shoes lace, it comes loose too easy.
