Comfortable, good for town and to do lighter hikes in. But the upper portion wore out so quickly. Literally tears along the top fabric portion after only a couple months. So they don't seem actually durable for anything more than around town.

I never wear over a size 9 in any shoes. These shoes I am not sure what to do. They seem to be the correct length, however, they are too narrow in the forefoot and pinch my pinky toes. I do NOT have wide feet, so I am am wondering if I need to size up or if these shoes are just plain too narrow. The design of forefoot is "pointy" which I am not crazy about. Toes are made to spread and not be smooshed together, so this is a poor design. The drop on these shoes are minimal which is a definite plus, and the sole is extremely comfortable. I am debating sizing up. I may end up with a long pointy shoe which still is not wide enough.

Very comfortable, but cut larger and had a lot of heel-sliding issue. Would doze down by a half.

I have been eyeing these shoes for a ver long time. I have about 4 other different pairs of Merrell shoes and boots that I absolutely love! These are really cute but I have worn them 5 times (at work, inside) and waterproof sprayed them about 4 times and they already look like I've had them for 6 months or longer - the suede is creased and they feel "stretched out" even though I always order a half size smaller than my normal size because Merrell tend to run a little big. Overall, I like them but they don't live up to the hype I was expecting ( in my head lol)

"Meh" sneakers. Toe area is more narrow than what I'm used to from Merrell (big toe forced to bend towards toes 2 through 5) . Heel cup is wider than what I'm used to from Merrell (heel was slipping even with adjustment of shoe laces). I would gladly pay more to get shoes like Merrell used to produce 20 years ago. I am no longer satisfied with the quality as it has declined to an unacceptable level

Bought these online and loved the look of them. They fit right though and I tried to 'break' them in with no luck. I had a previous pair in another color and material and had no issues there. Not sure why this one didn't work.

I really wanted to love these--I love the colors and the style. I agree with others that they'd look better with black laces, though. However, they didn't fit comfortably. I didn't have an issue with the grips on the bottom, but the toe bed was a bit too narrow and you could see my baby toes in the shape of the shoe, and the heel was a bit too wide, so it slipped up and down as I walked. Also, the black material above the toe area is stiff, which I assume would soften with time but made it feel like my toes were squished. If it wasn't for the slippy heel, I'd go up a half size.

I liked these because of the pretty colors, and they were Merrells. Unfortunately the colors did not last. Maybe because I walked in them daily for a while. Also, the last time I wore them it felt like the arches were not as good as other Merrells. They fit well in the size I usually order, which is half a size up. They are also lightweight, which is good, and cooler for walking in the summertime.

Love almost all of the colors in this shoe except for the lighter color on the toes which is a bad choice as the dirt & debris show up quickly. This is my 1st experience wearing Merrell's & I was surprised by the cheap design & extra roominess around the toes. The toe area is not sturdy but collapses & dents in. The good news: they held up well walking around Berlin for 11 days

I was very excited to try the alpine sneaker. I thought they were super cute and they were very comfortable! I work them on a fairly easy but rocky 5 mile hike. I was disappointed that they easily slid around my heel area and I turned my ankle several times. I typically do not have problems with my ankles which is why I don't wear taller boots. I have had a low pair of Salomans and have never turned my ankle. These however fit very loosely at my heel area and slid whenever I stepped on uneven ground. I am disappointed. I will probably not be wearing these hiking again, but only around when camping.

the alpine sneaker fits to size and is very comfortable. My only complaint is that the colours either run or fade badly. My new show looked worn and old in a very short period of time

I wear an 8 in Merrells and I feel these are true to size. I thought they would have a more rounded toe but it's pretty narrow and not enough room in the toe box. They aren't as cute in person as they appear in the photos.

The rainbow colors of this shoe are truly a delight! I was very sad that the second time I wore them, the stitching broke and is coming undone. The third time I wore them, the fabric material on the right side of the shoe got a hole in it. Both these things happened while walking casually in the city, not hiking or anything off-road. I was hoping these shoes would last for a good while long, but at the rate they are falling apart, I'm not so sure.

Unfortunately my heels slipped in these shoes. They felt perfect until I started walking in them.

They are so so so cute BUT they don't breathe well. My feet get very hot and I feel the toe box is a bit narrow considering the style.

The tread on the bottom is not very grippy. It's slick on wet surfaces which makes hiking in the rainforest or any wet surface very unstable.

I think these are super cute but they were very small on me. Order at least 1/2 to full size up. Too narrow in toe box for me but that is an issue for me always. Think I would have worn them more for style than for activity. Really wish they would have worked out.

I wanted to love these shoes. I have several other pairs of Merrells and bought these to wear to work. They are incredibly comfy, but after less than 3 months, the seams are ripping and the rubber is falling apart.

I purchased 3 pairs in different colors. One pair, the multi color has already ripped at one of the seams !!! Sure hope the other two pairs hold up better !

These shoes are insanely comfortable and incredibly cute...and virtually impossible to clean. I love them, I really do, but I've tried *everything* to clean them and they stain too easily. I mean, all I did was wear them outside while taking my son to school and they got a tiny bit of dirt on them and basically look filthy now. Lesson learned.

Love the style and look of the shoe. Does not fit like my other Merrell shoes. Runs narrow. I wish I sized a half size up.
