Customer Reviews Merrell Alpine Sneaker

I loved this sneaker so that's why I purchased a cute pair. However, after only having them for a few months I was dissapointed in how quickly the exterior wore out. I wouldn't drop this kind of money again on an sneaker if I would have known. The look is great and feel is great bit unfortunately not for long. I wouldn't recommend.

Merrill is my go to brand for hiking and work boots. I needed some casual sneakers so thought I'd give these a try. They are super cute and seemed to fit fine when I tried them on. I wore them the first day to walk down our long driveway. After about 10 minutes the fit across the top of the front of my foot was painful. It made them so uncomfortable that I ended up walking home in my socks. I won't be wearing them again.

I love the colors of this shoe, but, unfortunately, it is too narrow and I will be returning it. Too bad it doesn't come in a wide!

I am disappointed with the insoles that are in the shoe. Need to replace these if I want to wear the shoes comfortably.

I'm so bummed! I love the look of these sneakers. Ordered the rainbow, too popular to even grab a different size! I needed some new walking / working shoes. I work on my feet all day running around a store. I am wide and flat footed, ordered a size 7. The length of the shoe seems great, but my pinky toes are always rubbing on the side. My feet hurt during and after. Hoping I could break them in but doesn't seem to be working. Too narrow for my wide feet.

I ordered the Syrah plaid that in the picture looks bright true red and white.. got them in the mail and they are maroon and pink??

I love the look of these sneakers and wanted so badly for them to work out. However, I had to return them because they slipped halfway off my heels when I walked. This may be partially due to the thick sole (especially on a small size, 6.5) which doesn't flex much. Such a shame.

Seemed very nice, but too narrow for me, which is a frequent issue I have. I wish they offered more in wide width, I may have to stick with men's regular width in the mean time.

The sole inserts make these shoes uncomfortable.

I bought these October 5, 2023. At first, these shoes were INCREDIBLY comfortable with great support. However, they quickly wore out. Now it's February 1, 2024 and I am looking for new shoes. I did not wear these daily! Maybe a few times a week. The cushion is gone, the suede toe is dingy and worn, and the dyes bled badly (including dying my socks). I'm disappointed that these shoes basically lasted 4 months...

The shoe felt comfortable wearing it, but when I started walking in it, it was squeaking so bad that my cats were afraid and ran and hid. The rubber soles on the shoes were very, very squeaky!

Nice looking sneaker but had to return. They felt stiff and uncomfortable.

Pros: Cute colors and lightweight Cons: Zero traction on snow or ice. Not just an ordinary slip and/or slide here and there, I'm talking full blown Bambi on ice, praying you don't eat it in front of others. I'm not sure if I'd trust these "hiking" shoes on a wet, rainy day across a rocky terrain- I guess I'll find out this summer.

I LOVE this style, but unfortunately, the shoe wasn't as comfortable as my other Merrells and didn't want to take the risk so I returned them. I wear mostly Merrells because other shoes tend to exacerbate foot pain (plantar fascia/heel). Loved the design, though!

I really wanted to love this sneaker. Design-wise it's east on the eyes and warm. I'm a size 6, it ran a little bigger but I tied the laces tighter. The rubber sole APPEARED to be one that could grip to anything. I was wrong! I nearly slipped in a bank ATM vestibule on a drizzly morning. All the floors I stepped on that day that didn't have carpet I felt the "whoops/ whoa" sliding feeling. Another incident was wearing to do some holiday shopping. I thought it would be comfortable as other reviews mentioned. After 1 hr, the top of my feet were sore. I threw out the box before trying it outside so it was too late to return.

Cute, these were very stiff and had to return ghem

I returned them. Not enough room in the toe box. Loved the color and tread.

The fit was small and the foot bed hard and uncomfortable.

This shoe wasn't comfortable at all. I'm hoping it'll get better with a little breaking in time. Usually Merrell's are comfy from the start. I was disappointed.

The sole on this sneaker was odd to me. The tread runs almost in a saw tooth pattern in 1 direction and I found it difficult to predict my own footing. I didn't wear it often and donated them. There wasn't the traditional Merrell ankle support--but I might have expected something the shoe was not designed to do.
