Great fit, extremely comfortable! I have never been disappointed by a Merrell product and these are no exception! Here in Northern indiana they've gotten a workout with the snow but I can't wait to take them out on the trails.

I love these shoes so much I have already trekked 30 miles in them over the past month, both hiking and snowshoeing. They are very comfortable and light weight. My feet have stayed dry even with lots of puddles and snow. I ordered the wide width and even after a few hours my feet are not rubbing at all. The arch support is comfortable.

Wow these shoes are awesome. I was hiking on a cold day, my door slipped on an icy rock and landed in icy cold river water. The shoes dried within a few minutes. They are the most comfortable hiking shoe I've owned so far. They didn't have a long painful "break in" phase at all. I ordered 8.5 W and they were a perfect fit. My feet are an average width for a wide shoe, I would suggest getting men's size if your foot is wider than most. They are breathable, ankle support is strong, and the tread is very good.

these fit well, and the soles are grippy! the wide width is actually wide at the ball of the foot and still fits my heel properly. I'm contemplating buying another pair exactly the same

Truly amazing! Excellent quality -- light and truly waterproof. And the colors are awesome. Amazing that I get to support a great org too! Only drawback is that they crease easy and I'm a bit of a sneakerhead so that bothers me. Probably won't bother most outdoors people though!

I typically very picky with my shoes because I have such flat feet and I need something with the right amount of support. But I was so impressed with how little I had to break these in. My feet run a little wide but I have never purchased a wide shoe, however I did with these and I am so happy I did. They provide my toe box with the perfect amount of room and fit perfectly.

These shoes are amazing. They're super comfortable on the trail and perfect for PNW rainy weather. I wasn't sure at first, but once they broke in I wanted to start wearing them everywhere.

These are, 100% sincerely, the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. Now, lemme hedge that a little. I have super wide Hobbit feet and super high arches making me almost impossible to shoe shop for. I was glad to see these come in wide size but all shoes I buy are wide size and none of them are wide enough. These are the first shoes I have ever found that don't put noticable pressure on my pinky toe. It is... I wanna say life changing but I don't wanna oversell it because, like I said, this is very particular to me and I still gotta obviously put in my own arch supports. But still, 5 stars.

I have very wide feet and got the extra wide version of these and they fit great. They look just as nice in person and are incredibly comfortable.

I'm a fan of the UnlikelyHikers IG page so I was excited to hear they partnered with Merrell to design hiking shoes! They are so comfortable and give really good support. After a 2 hour hike, my feet were tired but not in any discomfort. I love the design and look of the boots. I also appreciate there was a wide shoe option as well

FANTASTIC! Always nervous when buying shoes/boots without trying them on. I have a very high arch and wide forefoot, so I don't fit the usual "off the rack" sizes. I usually like Merrell boots in the wide width, but even then, they tend to squeeze my forefoot too much and my neuroma under the balls of my feet start screaming back after only a few miles of hiking. THESE, however, are amazing! Very comfortable, grippy, waterproof - but not steamy hot inside. And, I have to admit, these are WAY more stylish and eye-catching than any other boot I have ever bought! I would buy 5 more pair if they came in different colors too! I heard about the Unlikely Hikers group and wanted to support the incredible idea of unisex shoes that can appeal to so many. (I also tire of the pinks and purples so many women styles fall into. Love these for the style and for the amazing fit. Please make some more colors too!!

These boots were instantly comfortable! I'm highly impressed! I usually have to wear shoes for a while before they're comfortable. Once I adjusted the laces, they were fantastic!

I love these so much. Comfortable right out of the box. I have a slightly wide foot and these are perfect. No numbness in the toes at all after wearing. They almost feel like a super supportive tennis shoe not a clunky hiking boot at all. I've only used them for about 4-5 miles so far but I'm excited to have something that works

I have several pairs of Merrell hiking boots, and the Zion is my favorite. It really does feel like a sneaker. So light and comfy and stood up both in grip and waterproofing to a recent snowy, icy winter hike. And this color and support of the Unlikely Hikers community is the bomb.

I have very short & wide feet (US 5.5, E width), so finding shoes is always a challenge. My last pair of Merrell hiking boots finally fell apart after over a decade of (admittedly light) use, so I decided to try something from the same brand in a 6W. These fit! And the teal color is so cute! A little stiff and tight out of the box, but after a 2-mile walk around the neighborhood to break them in, they felt good and my feet weren't complaining. They don't seem to have much in the way of arch support or cushioning on the sole, but if that ever becomes an issue for me I think I could fit some inserts in.

Overall, I love this shoe! I love the look and feel of it. I was thrilled to finally see a shoe that is actually cute offered in a wide width. However, the width is still a little too snug. If you wear thin socks then it is fine but I found that when I put thicker hiking socks on, it was super snug and my foot lost circulation. If you have wide feet, I would recommend thin socks and wearing these on shorter hikes. They may become uncomfortable on longer hauls.

I was excited to get these, but had to return them for two reasons: 1: they felt quite stiff and there was a seam that was hitting my foot wrong. 2: There was a very strong MUSTSY smell to them as if they were stored for months in a damp basement. I started sneezing almost immediately.

These hiking boots are great! They are super comfortable and easy to walk/hike for miles. I love hiking and haven't really found a good hiking boot/shoe that I truly liked until getting these.

I rated 4 because I have 3 pairs of Moab 2 ventilators that are fantastic and these Zions fit a bit different. I usually wear a 5.5wide, and had to return that size in Zion for a 6wide. So far they are good but have not been wearing on my dusty 2 to 4 mile daily walks. They are so cute I think will wear at home and street wear.

Great lightweight hiking shoe for city or trails. Good ankle support without being too tight in the foot. Just wish there was more arch support but I replace most of my insoles anyway. I wear them for dog walks as well as romping through the woods often.
