Customer Reviews Merrell Siren Sport 3 Waterproof

I ordered two new pairs to replace the ones I've worn and loved for 5 years and ordered the exact same size; 8.5 and they are obviously NOT the same size. I knew immediately when I put one on that it felt smaller so I checked the size thinking I must have been sent the wrong size, but no it says they are 8.5. So now I have to go through the lovely friggen process of repacking and returning to wait all over again for a larger size.

The color is not well represented in the advertising or I did not perceive them as they actually appear. They are actually green

I bought these as I am trying shoes for a 500 mile hike on the Camino de Santiago. These were recommended so I bought them to see how they were. I have wide feet and these aren't as wide as I would have liked. I bought a size up and still had to relaced them to help with the width but could use a tad more space. I think I would have to size up even more but then worry they would be too long. I do like the look. I took these on a 12 day trip where I knew it would be raining and I would be walking a lot. While I loved the waterproof aspect, these were a little too hard, sole wise. I have plantar fasciitis and after a day of walking 10 miles, my feet were so sore, I was worried I would not be able to complete my trip. I had taken other shoes that I knew I could walk in without pain and wore those the rest of the trip. I will continue to use these on short distance walks hikes but no longer than 5 miles. I also have to pay attention to the socks I wear. They need to be long enough to cover my heel so the back of the shoe doesn't rub and cause irritation. I do not hate these shoes and glad I tried them but wonder if there is a better shoe to try for my journey.

Brindle color more of an olive green, but in a good way. I had to go up a half size, because the wide width was not wide enough. Comfortable, with good arch support, but lacks much sole padding...feels hard like a boot sole, not springy like an athletic shoe. Not sure how comfortable they'll be after a long hike.

I tried this model of the siren after I destroyed a pair of waterproof siren edge shoes after 2 weeks of hiking in Utah. These have held up better than the siren edge, but I've found them to be less comfortable. For about 8 years, I bought the original waterproof siren sport model, one per year to use as my everything shoe, before they discontinued them. While the old model would fit me perfectly out of the box, I've found this new version gives me blisters on the balls of my feet. It also causes me muscle pains in my toes. I wish they would make the original siren sport again!

These say they are wide. But, they are still too narrow. Why not design a show with adequate space for the toes? I normally wear a wide with no problem. I don't recommend these for people with wide feet.

I have a wide foot, and this shoes didn't make it for me. I liked the gore Tex, vibrant soles and appearance, but if you have a wide foot like mine, they will wear out quickly.
