Customer Reviews Merrell Nova 2

I would love to give 5 stars however the insoles keep moving towards the heel of the shoe. It started on the first long walk that I took (6 miles). Thank goodness for duct tape.

I love my Merrels because of the wider toe box. These seem a bit narrower than most though. Still a great shoe and the colors are awesome!!!

I like the shoes a lot. They look good, are relatively light, and well ventilated. Good shoes for hiking and casual biking. My one criticism is that in my opinion, Merrell skimped on the length of the laces. For my size (11M), the laces should be 3-5 inches longer.

Color was expecting camouflage in both & wasn't. Expecting more grey on black shoes. Also was wanting Gray or blue in wide. Couldn't get in wide in those colors. Hubby didn't like either color but said, "he could live with." Fit was good.

These are cool great shoes. Comfy and good looking. Functional but nice looking - more so than a "sneaker". But the insoles are atrocious. Thin, useless and come out every time I remove my foot. So cheap and useless. Merrill has apparently started cutting corners? But still 4 stars but I'll have to buy real Insoles

Product is good it not fit my feet perfectly. have Manny Merrell shoe they fit better .

Very nice shoes , have been comfortable. To get best for I needed to downsize from usual 10 to a 9.5

Great fitting shoe for wide feet. I wear a triple e shoe and these fit perfectly. They're new as of yet but quality seems to be good and the vibram sole is sturdy with a decent amount of cusion. I gave 4 stars as the laces are very smooth and slippery so they come untied a fair bit. I would also like to see another colour option or two. Only black available in the wide fit. Overall a great shoe.

I bought these shoes for my boyfriend. He likes them.

I walked, hiked, and jogged with these on city streets and moderately steep and rugged trails on Tenerife and La Gomera. They held up nicely and gripped the pavement/terrain, although the interior of the shoe is a bit slippery, so my foot would slide sideways when cornering, and my toes jammed forward into the box on descents. Overall satisfied, considering I pushed them a bit beyond their intended function.

So far so good (wearing them for a month). Comfortable and durable! Only 4 because I don't love the look but I do love the shoes

These shoes are great for running on trails OR paved roads (which is what I use them for). Only reason for 4 stars is I wish the soles weren't as firm as they are. They would benefit from a bit more cushioning.

I bought these shoes because the weather was getting too hot for my winter shoes ( Men's ColdPack Ice+ Moc Waterproof J49821 ) I walk 6~8 per day on paved or groomed trails. These shoes are great for that. But I took them on a 10 mile hike, half of which was smooth packed dirt, the other half was various sizes of rock. Around the 8.5 mile mark I noticed the soles of my feet felt noticeably painful and bruised feeling. My winter shoes, on a similar hike, did not have this problem. So these Nova 2's aren't going on the trail anymore but will be used for my daily walking. Just a design comment, the dark side of the sole has lighter colors of grey flecked into it. I don't like that as it looks like mud speckles.

Very nice looking, and comfortable, only took one star off because I had to remove the insole on one shoe to fit my mobility aid (I have paralysis) and despite them being wide enough and the orthotic fitting in the shoe, I cannot wear these for long as my foot swells up and becomes extremely painful in the ankle and parts I do have feeling, so unfortunately I can't use them for what I intended to and only short trips. If you don't have my issue, a great choice! Unfortunately for me, I am now stuck with shoes I can't really wear.

A very comfortable shoe with plenty of room in the toe box for my wide feet.

I love these shoes. Super comfortable. Great grip, and good stability. And I love the colors. My only wish is that they were waterproof. Also, I have narrow feet and they fit perfectly. Overall, I'm very happy with these.

I only wear Merrell shoes. I like the Nova 2 because it is lightweight when I play pickleball.

The roomy toe box, comfy insoles and the traction of this shoe deliver! Great grip on uneven rock and slippery mud thanks to the offset lugs. Have owned for about 1 month now and run daily. The shoes are holding up great although there has been some separation of the sole where it attached to the shoe. Nothing a little super glue couldn't fix! Great shoes!

I bought this last spring and I'm here for a new pair this year. I did over 200 miles in this sneaker last year, about 50 in Desolation Wilderness, 50 in the Trinities, and over 100 in SeKi including the High Sierra Trail to the top of Whitney. The middle vibrant never let me down, I lost about a half inch of the outer lugs from Junction Meadow to Guitar Lake but it didn't really affect the shoes performance on to the Summit of Whitney. This was my final big hike of the summer and was already over 200miles logged in the shoes. They dry quick, fit perfect(the Moab Ventilator has too small a heel cup for me and kills my player at the front of my heel but not this sneaker), enough room in the toe box, laces are perfect, comfy padding, never slipped on a rock wet or dry. I didn't get a single blister in over 200 miles with a forty pound backpack. For reference I'm a 51 year old male and weigh 195lbs( at the beginning of a hike). I'd give it five stars if the vibram sole was one whole piece and the little bit of the outer tread didn't tear. Make no mistake this is a great hiking sneaker and I put it through the ringer in all kinds of terrain.
