Very comfortable, I wear them daily. Nice arch support, and one of the better made merrell shoes.

I've owned 9 or 10 pairs of these shoes, starting with the Chameleon Stretch IIs. The IIs were great, but they got a little worse with each iteration. They were still good mind you, just not as good. But the 8s are a big step up. Maybe as good as the IIs.

Just a little tight across the mid-foot, but that is because I have to wear an orthotic. But it does stretch into shape after a while.

Great walking shoe. I’m using this for yard work at our lake house. Great support and great traction on uneven terrain. I am a 12-1/2 B width and normally order 13 M in Merrells but these run 1/2 size smaller and are a little wider on my feet. So I bought a 14 and pull the laces for a great fit.

Not quite as dressy as my regular Merrell slip-ons but still look fairly sharp and hold snugger when needed for a little more athletic day (when you don't want to run or twist out of your shoes)! Very happy with them and a nice slightly sharper substitute for tennis shoes.

I purchased my second pair, kangaroo, after getting the black. One of the most comfortable Merrell yet. I wear these for an everyday shoe and have several pairs of other Merrell, you just can't beat them.

Recently purchased the Chameleon 8 Stretch. I had an older pair a few years ago and it was great. These are better. Highly recommend them. Comfortable, light weight and hopefully they last as long as the last ones did. These are great for airline travel as well. Comfortable, easy on off, and great for walking as well. Great product Merrill, keep up the good work!

This is by far the best and mast durable shoe I have ever owned. I use on kites and everyday use and have held up great. I am about to get my 3rd pair!

Been wearing this Merrill for many years and have always been very happy with everything. There was a period when they were not using the Vibram sole which really cheapened the shoe and shortened it's life span. However they are once again using the Vibram sole and its a huge difference in longevity. I have always loved the speed laces and they are easy to slip on while providing great support for just about everything. They look great for casual wear and function great on the trail as well. I have never found a shoe I liked better and when they are well worn they become yard work shoes.

Best pair of light weight hiking shoes. The stretch function really works. You may initially want a shoehorn handy. After a few hikes, you'll think they are part of your feet.
I do a lot of hiking and this is my 4th pairwell done.

Love the new Chameleon 8's! They seem lighter and more comfortable than past ones I've had for some reason.

Glad I found a shoe like these. In between a trail running and hiking shoe.

This is my 6th pair of Chameleons. I swear by them, Nothing is more comfortable when hiking or long treks in the city or country, than the Chameleons.

These are absolutely the best sport shoe available. I've worn the Chameleon Stretch in all of its adaptations and have found them to be true to the original. I walk in these shoes daily for exercise and they are very comfortable through multi mile hikes. They are dry and true to fit.

These are probably the best fitting Chameleons I’ve had out of 5 pairs. They feel more roomier than the previous ones and look great. Hopefully they keep making these, as they are the best looking Merrell shoes in my opinion.

Most comfortable hiking shoe ever, on my third pair and been wearing them since they were introduced. This shoe and the vented moc slide sold me on the Merrell brand for life. Love your shoes.

Bottom line, I was very very nervous to get these shoes. I just wasn't sure how they would fit with my feet being since my legs and feet have a bad tendency to swell up bad and this started this last year as well as painful neuropathy along with it. And with everything I just said I am so glad I picked the shoes these are by far my absolute favorite shoe that I've owned from Merrell and I'm a diehard Merrell user through the past 12 years and you guys have never let me down I mean on the trail and off the trail but as far as the shoes I love the souls have the right amount of grip and hardness for everything I can throw at them and like always with vibram very comfortable it's hard not to take the shoes off. There was no break in period right out of the box there was the right amount of flex with no cutting into my toes. The breathability of the shoe is amazing. Not having a tongue in the shoe was a little weird at first but after the first few hours wasn't noticeable and I actually prefer it without one now. I know it probably went on too long there's stuff that's probably left out regardless this is an amazing shoe and thanks Merrell for The quality of life you have given back to me.

I've been a Chameleon Stretch fan and owner of several generations for almost 20 years. The Chameleon 8 model didn't disappoint! Comfort, durability, reliability. Actually, one of your best iterations on a classic. Keep 'em coming!
