These shoes are fabulous straight out of the box and onto the trail. I wanted something for jumping through streams and being waterproof these fit the bill. I think the color is even nicer in person.

So comfortable for the arch. I usually were 7.5 but I guess 8 is better for me in hiking shoes. There aren't great color to choose from in hiking shoes, but I liked these aesthetics-wise.

I'm not one to typically write a review on a product, but i am BLOWN AWAY! First of all how quick i received the product i was very impressed. This is my first pair of Merrell's. I ordered the Alverstone waterproof shoes last Monday they arrived Thursday afternoon. I had zero time to break them in other than i had them on for maybe 20 minutes in the house. I headed out to Georgia the following day for a weekend full of hiking. I love the arch support i have a skinny/narrow high arched foot so these really work for me. They are extremely comfortable and light weight. I love the color and style of the shoe! I've had zero problems/no hurting feet and i really put them to the test with yesterday's hike. I'd highly recommend this quality shoe to anyone! Merrell you have a new customer for life!

Comfortable and good looking hiking shoes are hard to find.I have received my first pair of Merrill Alverstone's a few weeks ago.They're lightweight, well supported and so comfortable. They are perfect for summer and fall.The 7 is a little big for me, I wish I had ordered the size 6.5, I think I will wear socks rather than exchanging them.
The customer service is super friendly and efficient.Thank you so much!
P.S. I just ordered my second pair of Merrel today. I can't wait to wear them :)

My boyfriend got me these the day before a month long camping/hiking trip. I never had to break them in and ended up wearing them everyday. So comfy and breathable, with a great high arch. I would suggest to purchase a half size up. Highly recommend!

Great support, fits as expected-that is, just right. I don't even need to put any inserts in them, as I typically would do with other shoes. Only slightly negative is that they are a little stiff around the ankle and rub a bit, but wearing socks that come up a bit over the ankle helps to alleviate this. Good traction on both pavement and hiking trails. Laces stay tied tight!! And yes, it's summer, but they do seem like they'll be warm once the weather finally cools off!

I bought these to go trail walking in the early hours of the morning when there is a lot of dew. My sneakers got destroyed so needed something to keep my feet from getting wet. These are definitely waterproof and running them under tap water cleans the dirt right off.
I am a size 7 in Asics and a 7.5 in Nikes. A 7 fit me very snug and gave me great foot support without being too tight.
They aren't the prettiest of shoes but I'd you are looking for waterproof shoes, these are a must.

I have been wearing this shoe for over a week, and it is doing great! It has a cushioned heel, wonderful arch, and it holds my heel closely which I need for plantar fasciitis. I got caught in a rainstorm when they were only a couple of days old, and they proved to be worthy of their claim to be waterproof! I was really glad for that! Haven't tried them on a trail yet, but with their tread, I can imagine they will work quite well.

This is one of the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever owned. My feet tire quickly, but not with these shoes. I highly recommend them.

I got these as a gift because I needed a good pair of hiking shoes and they're perfect. They arrived surprisingly fast considering we're in a literal pandemic, and the same day they arrived I took them on a short hike, including through a river, and they were comfortable, kept my feet dry, and didn't require extra time to break in. I'm impressed.

Just a little snug on my bigger foot so ordered 1/2 size up and fit perfect with both mid and heavy socks. Only returned bc a little too stiff (but I’ve been wearing moccasins and slippers for a few years for health issues). Great shoes!

I was so happy to discover that these (my first Merrell's) fit perfectly without having tried them on beforehand. Very comfortable without requiring a break-in period. Very happy with my purchase!

Very nice shoes, super attractive and generally sturdy, but arrived damaged-- one of the suede eyelet loops for the laces is broken. Will need to return. My size varies between 9.5 and 10. I ordered a 10 and they are a little large, will be down-sizing. They seem to run true to size.

Wore these shoes right out of the box for walking my dogs. They are really comfortable. Only negative is that the shoelaces are a little bit short and frequently come untied. Highly recommend.

I have worn Merrill hiking shoes for many years now and this is the first time I'm going to return and order a half size larger. They don't seem as wide either but they are still wide enough.

Very comfortable toe box and stylish. I have not tried them in wet conditions yet. Fit is true to size although I went 1/2 size larger to accommodate thicker hiking socks.

These shoes are pretty perfect. They have those slippery laces that come untied, but that's the only issue.

I'm breaking these in for a two day hike I'm taking in two months. I needed waterproof hiking shoes that would allow me to walk several different types of terrain. These are perfect.
