Customer Reviews Merrell Yokota 2

Well made product. Insole needs to be better. I replaced with another.

This is a great shoe for light hiking and especially travel. Super comfortable and light weight. I recommend this one.

Excellent product as always from Merrell.

Always a great fit

I like the ruggedness of the shoe. I have heard they are great for your feet - too soon to tell on that one.

I think these hikers will be great. No breakin required. Just put them on and go.

I ordered a 10 size but the pair was short for a size 10. Total waste of money for me

You make great shoes. But why do you offer shoes up to size 15 in medium widths only and not also size 15 in wide widths.

I bought these in September and they are completely falling apart and because I didn't buy them online merrell says they won't do anything about it I have to take them back to the store and the store is the one who's suppose to deal with it I would normally swear by merrell but not sure anymore

they wear like they are a half size to small. i have purchased two other pair and they are sized perfectly

My foot measures in-between 8EE and 8.5EE. Pretty much all my shoes and workbooks are 8.5EE and fit great. I must have read reviews that these Yokotas run small so I got a pair of 9EE. I was surprised as soon as I opened the box. They looked small nonetheless their tags listed them as 9EE. They are a bit short and narrow. Surprisingly I should really have a 9.5EE but I kept these anyway. Mine have had issues with seams coming undone and Merrell to their credit sent me a pair of Moab 2 at the same 9EE which are much wider and longer (too big with heel lift)...surprisingly those I should probably have 8.5EE or maybe even 8EE. Merrell makes it tough when their own shoes are not consistently sized.

I've bought near a dozen different Merrells over the years and they have always been extraordinarily comfortable but are always true to size (10 1/2). These are the first that didn't quite hit the mark. They are tight at 10 1/2 and my toes are fairly pinched.Not a bad shoe but they need to be more correctly sized for me to give a positive review.

Nice looking shoe but just like the ALVERSTONE MID WP shoe they are a very comfortable fit but when you stand on them and with every step you take it feels like the heel of your foot is on a ball, very unstable. It feels like the heel of your foot wants to roll either way. I will be returning these as well.

The first issue was they run about a half size small. I've always worn a size 10 and had to exchange for a 10.5. The 10.5's are wider and don't fit as snug they should. How is it possible to be off 1/2 size? Second, the sole has a bit of a heel rather than being flat. I prefer more arch support, but for some reason shoe manufacturers rarely include this type of support. Merrell has long been my go to shoe brand, after this experience I may think twice next time.

I had to return these finely made shoes because they were too small. When can I receive the refund. Thanks

I really liked the style of this shoe and had no hesitations about thinking they would be comfortable out of the box just like the 8 or 9 pairs of Moabs and Chameleons I've worn for many years. Something is different about these though. These were not as comfortable out of the box, but I thought maybe they needed a little getting used to since my previous pair of shoes were not Merrells. It's been a few days and my feet hurt. The soles feel thin and not as supportive, and there's too much arch. I can't return them now, so I guess it's insoles for me, or they're headed to the donation bin if that doesn't work. I hope it doesn't come to that; really like the style. Merrell has been my go-to brand for a long time, but a little disappointed this time.

I originally ordered a 10.5, since my Merrell hiking boots ran a bit small. The 10.5s were actually too big, so I exchanged for my normal size 10s and they fit great! Insole was comfy, the shoe felt really good... until I walked around in them. The big toe pressed the inside of the shoe. Try as I might, I couldn't get the fit to where it didn't press, so unfortunately I had to return them... So close to being great, but just not quite the right fit for me. Will try another style!

I have had these 2 weeks and worn them once. If 3 STARS is average, these are 3 STARS. Not sure if they will break in nicely or how they will do on a long hike. They look good.... I have not reason to think they will work differently than my other Merrells. I will post up a follow-up review in 6-9 months.

I bought this pair of shoes around a month ago, I average around 3 miles a day on mountain trails. The finger strap on back has already broke on one of the shoes, both are showing the thread that bonds the suede with the protective toe material coming out, the foam rubber type material in between the outsole and the suede is cracking open with gaps in them. I thought I had found the perfect shoe, it fit perfect, the outer sole's are aggressive enough to handle some of the roughest terrain, the arch in them are great and it is a great looking shoe but, the price I paid for them as opposed to a month worth of wearing, I just can't justify buying another pair, but I really liked them, they just started falling apart so quickly.

Arch support is lacking. Size is a little on the small size

Hoping to try a different model than Moabs I've been wearing for many years. This one caught my eye as being a bit more breathable. Alas, sizing just is not the same. My shoe size is 10. Has always been 10. Even with a 10.5 these are just too darn short. Buying online and waiting 2 week turnaround I just simply had to abandon this model. I went back to the Moab, as I know this one fits. Bummer....I was hoping for a change. Just can't beat the feel of the comfort of the Moab. Just wish they were a bit cooler.
