Customer Reviews Merrell Chameleon 8 Stretch

Fourth pair I have owned over the years and I love them

These wear well, are very durable, and have great traction.

Second pair. Maybe third. Cannot tell they last a long time and are great for outdoors!

I love these shoes. I've had about 5 pairs. I just wear them out and then get a new pair. They fit so comfortably and snug and are delight to wear.

I am on my fifth set of Merrell Chameleons Stretch (various models), and have been wearing them since 2015 for work. I absolutely love them - I have owned the 2, Prime (3 sets), and the 7. All were awesomely comfortable and all held up well, despite an enormous amount of harsh use. I wore mine on patrol in jungles, deserts, mountain terrain, and additionally for fast roping + close quarters marksmanship courses and in wet/amphibious environments. The advantages this shoe offers are great - they are flexible (stiff shoes/boots suck for your feet), provide great grip, are easy to don/doff, they dry reasonably quickly, and are overall incredibly comfortable. I always paired these with thickly cushioned wool or synthetic socks and never got a single blister wearing these. I have no clue what I would replace these with if Merrell ever discontinues this model, and every shoe I ever tried to replace these with ended up in a box somewhere or given away.

Awesome right out of the box Hiked 4 miles the first day in them and they were great. Great traction, stability and comfort.

I purchased them for my 71 year-old husband for his daily 3-mile walks. He likes them as they are comfortable and supportive.

Effortless and durable shoe for hiking or casual walking

I have always loved this Shoe! Easy fit to your feet shoes! Very comfortable! Very well made product.

When I find something I like, I go with it. I now have seven pairs of this shoe. This shoe is based upon the original chameleon stretch, which was my favorite Merrell style ever made. I use these shoes for everything. I have never found shoes that I have liked better than these. I was ecstatic when these shoes came back out.

Very comfortable shoes. Exactly what I wanted for urban operations with the SWAT team.

I bought the pair I have about 10 years ago now and they are just now getting to the point i need to replace them, the tab on the back came off and i have had to replace the shoe laces (both in the last 6 months) and the support has finally started to die. I will always purchase Merrill, had a similar situation with the pair of hiking boots I had and that was with taking the hiking boots on long treks and I took these shoes on day hikes almost weekly and wore them everyday. bought a different pair for everyday use to replace these.

I love these shoes. I recommend the waterproof shoe but I have and love both versions. These shoes are so comfortable and I can wear them everyday from the trails ,work in the office, or just out and about. I have 4 pairs of these and they get used and abused!! My first pair is finally starting to show wear around the toe with the sole coming apart. I will gorilla glue it when I get home!

I've worn these shoes everywhere from Iraq to Afghanistan, to hunting in Sweetwater, Texas. They are the best shoes out there and I have 3 pairs.

I am so glad they are making Chameleons again. This is about my 8th pair over the years. They are the perfect shoe for just everyday work and great for hiking. My favorite part is how fast they dry out after walking through streams or any water. My senior dad even love them especially with being able to slide them on and off with ease.

Really like the way they fit and no need to tie them. Slip on and off, but fit very snug. Look good too.

Super comfortable right out of the box. Easy to get on without using hands. I normally have problems with the balls of my feet causing pain, but have gone hiking 3 times now (Don't make fun of me.) and these shoes have left with me with pain free feet after the hike which is highly unusual. Oh, I think they look really good, too. I got the tan ones. On the down side, they don't offer as much support as my Moab 2's, but for easy to mid level hiking, these shoes will be my choice.

I'll continue buying these as long as Merrill makes them. They are the best shoes I've found for my plantar fasciitis. I wear a size larger to fit my custom inserts.

This is probably my 10th pair of Chameleon Stretch in the past 10 years. I wear them everywhere. They are great for every day use, day hikes, and mountain biking. Throughout those years I was very happy that Merrell went back to the Vibram soles, because the other didn't last a whole year.

I have been buying Chameleons for years. They are comfortable right out of the box. They provide great support for walking, hiking and work (I'm on my feet all day). And, they look great.

Hunting feral pigs in the summer where I live You are going to dunk your boots or you're going to be very limited where you can go, so trying to be waterproof is a waste of time, you'll just be miserable because they'll hold the water in once they go under. A light, vented, quick draining and quick drying shoe is the way to go and these fit the bill perfectly. By far the best hot weather hunting shoe for wet environments I've ever had. It's not 1965 anymore, throw the uncomfortable, heavy jungle boots in the garbage and buy these instead. I wear 12.5-13 usually in other brands, needed a 14 in these.

love love love love these shoes....light...ventilated yet sturdy and durable. Love these shoes.

I like that they are lite weight and flexibility. I am able to enjoy life no matter where we go. At the same time I can dress up and still look acceptable to my wife's standards.
