I wish I had followed my instincts when some wrote that this shoe is hard as vinyl and so very narrow. I bought the Merrill Grassbow Air and they were so comfortable. I actually bought 3 pair because it seems as though once I find a lipstick, blush or a bra I really like - it gets discontinued. I am now down to my last pair so I contacted Merrill and asked what their replacement was and they said it was the MXM Flex 2. Are you kidding me? The body of the shoe is as hard as a tire and so narrow it is painful. So, back they go and I continue the search.

Very comfortable for light hiking. Lightweight and feels like a sneaker. Fairly good arch support for Merrell. Size is perfect with plenty of room in the toe box.

Felt super comfortable right out of the box and I am really picky about walking shoes. Love these. Plan to order another pair.

I bought the MQM Flex last year and was looking to replace my loved and worn pair. In the same size, the Flex 2 is smaller in the toe box: feels both narrower and shallower and doesn't accommodate my custom orthotic comfortably. I'm disappointed in the new fit and am returning.
I'd also recommend:

Wore these on many hikes at all 5 national parks in Utah. Great traction and were cooler to wear than the hikers in the summer heat. Hiked the Firery Furnace and could not have done this without the hiker traction provided in this shoe. Had to scramble and control slides down large rocks.

I have real bad feet. Two bone spurs on the back of both of my heals. These shoes are the only ones I can wear that gives me the support and don't press the back of my heals. I wear them all day at work which I'm on my feet a lot. Great shoes!!

I walk 5 plus miles per day - these shoes are amazing and my faithful friends - they fit true to size and are super confortable - my feet feel energized when I wear them - I note they don't seem to be available now - I hope you will consider bringing them back!

I needed a new pair of casual tennis shoes for the beach. The MQM Flex 2 is the right pair for walking on the beach as well as on roads + sidewalks.

I now have three pairs. They are fun and colorful and so light and comfortable. Another plus I throw them in the washing machine when they get muddy.

Super comfortable from Day One! I love these as much as my rainbow Antora 2. I got these to wear in the rain and mud so I don't get my Antoras dirty. ;) I've worn them on sidewalks and off trail and they are great!

These are THE best trail runners. I have metatarsalgia which makes it difficult to go more than 5 miles. I was out yesterday and did 15 miles with no pain! My feet felt great and I could've went further. I bought a 2nd pair as a backup.

Although these shoes don't quite substitute for my beloved All Out Blaze Aero Sport that I've used for the last 3-4 years, the MQM Flex 2's are becoming another fave. They're comfortable, fully supportive, and seem to stabilize my foot and ankle well. I'm glad that I chose to purchase these!

This is my third pair of MQM Flex. Obviously I'm a fan. I bought the non-waterproof version this time to save a little money and for hikes where I plan not to be splashing through puddles. These shoes are lightweight, comfy and have great grip. I've hiked on granite, sandstone and other types of rocks and they are always steady and reliable. The one note I would make is that they are great for day hikes - but after about 6-8 miles my feet start to get tired and I find myself wishing for a little more support/padding. So if you're planning thru-hikes or really long days of hiking I might go with another option. But these are great and I highly recommend them. I've gone all over the US and Canada in my MQM Flexes and they've never let me down.

A classic sturdy Merrell fit with a generous toe box - something you don't find in all of their styles. The juicy color combo is an added plus.

I live in Florida and Colorado and my Flex 2's go everywhere with me. Cool enough for walking in Florida, tough enough to hike in CO. Shoes run a little narrow when you first wear them but it just enough to hold your feet firmly in place and there is plenty of toe box for thicker socks. On the soggy days, I wear them on the golf course. I've been wearing the Flex shoes for about 3 years now and usually buy a pair or 2 every year now, as I like the quality, the price and the color selection is awesome.
