Lightweight but cozy boots - tested them on a 3.5mile moderate winter hike in 3”-6” of new light snow in about 15° weather. Bought them for snow shoeing but they were great for a hike. Soles held up to icey patches. Love the gaiter hook at front of boot. All around great boots for winter.

These boots could have been awesome. Nice, warm, dry. Boots. However, the heel was loose and the foot toe box area was wide. So there was too much movement, even with a thicker wool sock for me. I ordered my usual size in boots. In a shoe, I wear a 10. Often in boots a 10.5. Order your shoe size. These were not available in a 10. I’ll be watching as they were just about perfect. They were lighter than Sorel. Would have been good for winter walks and for driving the car if needed, so you could feel the pedal pressure but I need a different size.

I can't tell you anything about the comfort or performance of these boots because they were about a full size too large. I ordered a size 5 so I can't go down a size to try them out. They were so big at first I thought they were mislabeled, but no. I have hard-to-fit feet so I ordered both the tall and the short just to see which one might be more comfortable and they were both huge. I ordered another pair of Merrells at the same time which are very true to size.

I'm in the northeast and take care of school grounds. I have been out for hours using either snowblower, tractor or shovel. You get cold and wet. But my feet stayed dry and warm. The salt washed of easily.

I have only had these a few weeks but have done 3 shorter (around 3 miles) hikes in them so far. All the hikes have been through 5-6in of snow and 5-20F, My feet have stayed toasty and very dry. They are light weight too! Very happy with my purchase.. now need to find my husband a mens pair. They are a little roomy if you are wearing them with thin socks but they are winter boots, so I wear them with thick wool socks. They fit perfect with thicker socks.

needed winter hiking boots, high enough to not let the snow in, good grip, waterproof. these had all that + a broad base of support- so i feel safer walking on ice, warm but not too warm (current outdoor temp 8 degrees, toes toasty in 1 pair of wool socks). medium arch support, relatively roomy toe box. i am extremely happy with this purchase. only downside so far is they are definitely not sexy, but my dogs, and my feet don't care.

Well made, sturdy, warm, comfortable even for someone with very bad feet! I normally wear custom orthotics but haven't needed to with these. I normally wear an 8.5 but the 8 feels very roomy. Would definitely recommend ordering half a size smaller than usual.

I bought these back in October as the weather was changing to replace a pair of much-loved but worn-out Keens. I wear a 7 or 7.5, and bought a 7.5 to be sure they would fit. I could have gone with the 7, but they fit well with plenty of room at the toes. I have Raynaud's syndrome and need boots that will keep my feet warm during our MI winters. I was worried when these arrived because they seem so thin and light. However, it's mid January and my feet have never gotten cold in these boots even without wool socks on. My feet are also somewhat wide, and it's disappointing how narrow other brands are - these boots fit my feet well.

Wasn't sure at first because my feet are really hurting when I put these boots on but after I wore them 2 days I found them to be very comfortable and my feet don't hurt anymore!

I love this shoe! It's perfect. I have narrow feet and usually wear a size 10N. The size 9.5 fits me perfectly. I suggest sizing down by a 1/2 size if you have narrow feet. I think that this shoe is stylish and comfortable. I'm happy with my purchase!

These shoes are warm and so comforting! I have some sensory issues with some boots but these don't dig in, I don't feel like they need to be 'broken in' and have made me feel so much safer in the snow/ice. They have a good center of gravity and fit comfortably even with really thick boot socks on.

My first time buying Merrell boots. Wow. I have some feet issues and needed winter boots for Chicago weather to walk my dog about 4 miles a day. These are so comfortable, light and warm. I had Keen winter boots prior to this and they were awful on my feet- terrible blisters, heavy and pain across the top of me feet when walking. These are a godsend. I found them a tad big. Go with regular size if you want to wear thick/ multiple socks. Otherwise maybe a half size down. Super fast shipping. GET THEM.

Great boot but not true to size. They run big. I'm a solid size 8 in every Merrell shoe I own (I own a lot of Merrells) and I was swimming in the size 8 in these boots. My heel lifted completely out of the boot. Super disappointed as I have worn them and now cannot return them. I also needed them for a snowy excursion and was not able to wear them. Not even with thick socks.

After looking at all the work boots I ended up ordering what they called a females boot but I liked the look so I ordered them in a size 11 women since I wear a men's 9. From the first time I whore them, they felt very comfortable and very warm.
I work for Amazon delivery and it gets cold in the winter but these work boots make my feet sweat. I love them and I hope they make them in this style for men but either way I'll buy them again!
Thanks Zappos....Dave in Colorado ?

These are completely comfortable, extremely roomy, I bought in my normal size. Made a repeat customer out of me. I don't like narrow shoes, so if your foot is very narrow, you might need some thick socks. I think the boot conforms to any width of foot though.

Great boots - extra warmed waterproof - going to go snowshoeing and dog sledding - these boots will keep me warm and safe.

Second day wearing these as we just recently got our first brunt of winter here. Slick sidewalks makes for challenging walks, but felt more assured with my steps with these boots. No boot is slip proof - just like winter tires - but these make you feel safe and much more solid on your feet.

I followed the advice of other reviews that the fit is accurate described. I ordered my regular size and there was enough room that I can wear my nice thick winter socks comfortably. I haven't put them through a test for warmth, because the winter months have not arrived, but I think they will perform well for me. They are very comfortable!!! LOVE Merrells

Probably the reason this boot feels big is that it is made so that you can wear thick socks, double-layer socks, or maybe even have room for some foot warmers. I tried going down a half-size but that one was going to be too small for anything other than thin socks. These boots are super cute compared to many other snow boots available out there. I can't wait to try them out for dog-walking this winter, which is my main purpose for getting them. I have orthotic arch supports, so if I decide I need more arch support I can insert them. Minimal arch support is not a problem for me usually, but I know it is for other people.

I've never ordered footwear online and was nervous about the size. My previous Merrell front zipper boots are size 9.5. My foot is narrow. Based on reviews, I ordered size 9. They fit perfect, have good arch support, pretty good traction, and are lightweight. I actually forgot I was wearing boots when hiking. I would definitely recommend.
