Customer Reviews Merrell Antora 2

Comfortable as a casual shoe. Nice looking. Would not purchase if you plan on wearing for long periods of time and have high arches. I have a higher arch and feel that the Siren edge three were a better fit for me. However, I do wear these Casually if I don't plan on standing or walking all day

I would give these shoes a 5 except the color around the bottom peeled off very quickly. Other than wearing very fast they are extremely comfortable. I would have been completely happy if they held up for more than 2 months.

They have a new material on the outside of these and it shows wear sooner than previously owned Merrell's. The wear is at the cease of the flex of the foot. I'm a bit disappointed. However the structure of the shoe has kept it integrity so still using it. Color is nice(gray). Shoe strings are strong and stay tied when wearing-a plus! I use them for digital weight training and everyday work around the house, shopping.

These are super comfy shoes and not too pricey. Lots of support, great tread, they stay tied, and the toe box is not too big but still roomy enough to maneuver. They dry quickly after walking through a river and repel the rain well enough. I have taken these shoes on trail runs and hikes from the sandy washes of the desert to the red rock canyons of the Colorado Plateau and up the Rocky Mountains and they do the work. The fabric around the toe-area plastic sealant can wear out slightly quickly though, mine ripped on both shoes (dominant shoe first) within 6 months.

I was so excited to purchase these sneakers. My issue is not with the fit. Like all Merrell's, they are comfy and supportive. However, I really was looking forward to getting these sneakers because of the color. The pair I received are so muted, they do not look like the pictures where the blues are vivid, stars are sharp and the color contrast is obvious. That is the disappointing part.

I love Merrell products and these shoes are almost perfect. I love the style and the color (Capri). I deducted one star from the overall rating because I had an issue with the shoe insert. It has plenty of cushion, but the built-in arch support hit my foot in a funny spot -- too far forward to align with my arch. I solved that problem by buying some shoe inserts I like and swapping them out. With my new inserts, the shoes feel so good. They're supportive with lots of room for my toes. Love!

These shoes were so comfortable that I bought a second pair soon after the first. However, they do not wear well. I am still wearing the first pair even though a hole developed over the big toe. The soles are wearing well.

I like these shoes a lot, but they're a little too wide for me, so they don't keep my foot very stable. I've put a lot of miles on them so far, and I can tell they will last a long time, but I don't pick these for technical runs as these will only increase my chance of rolling my ankle. Additionally, as someone who runs in la sportiva I find that in comparison, merrell runs fairly large! So size down?

I really enjoy the cushion and the traction with these shoes. I do wish they were wider though as they still were tight by my pinkie toes.

Love the colour. The fit is a bit tighter/shorter than my other pair of same size Merrell shoes.

Comfortable for walks and shopping, these are the perfect all-around daily shoe. The only things that bugs me is minor-- the bottom of the shoe is a warm greenish blue while the rest of it is black, lavender and a cold blue. It just doesn't seem to be an integrated color scheme. But other than that, they've been great and I'm very happy with them!

I bought this online and didn't realize the outside "webbing" was just a print. I love the shoe, it's very comfy, but I'm a little disappointed.

I got these and was very happy with the colors and the comfort. I had to use a tape measure to get the sizing right but it was accurate. I am on my feet for 8-10 hours a day and these felt like walking on clouds. After 6 months of hard daily use though, the soles gave up the ghost and the tread separated off in a couple of chunks.

This is my second pair. First pair held up about a year of weekly hiking and running before they started to fall apart. Pros: great for both hiking, city walking, and running short distances (under 3 miles). Ridiculously comfortable. I wear them everywhere. Great daily wear shoe. It has a rock plate that makes it perfect for hiking. They're not too hot. No falls with these shoes on hikes. The toe looks more durable than previous pair which is a plus on the old design. Love the rainbow tread!!!! Hiked 12 miles in these with no pain or blisters. Everyone complimented my last pair. Cons: Average in terms of mileage you can get before needing to replace. Little loose in the heel compared to my last pair. I would get blisters after 2 miles on the road, but fine for trail running (which is the intended purpose). Would not use for long road running. I miss the old design which featured ALL of the rainbow on the top of the shoe. This one is mostly green and purple, which is a huge disappointment in terms of aesthetics (you get a rainbow shoe to see the whole rainbow). I would keep getting this shoe if they reverted back to the old color scheme, but would not buy this current color scheme again.

I was really sad to see Merrill discontinued their Bare Access model, but I took a chance on the Antora based on the reviews. I'm glad I did. Although I'm still getting used to the extra cushion they are great for walking. I have received many compliments on them. Definitely recommend.

I Loved the traction , these really are comfortable and have a great fit .My only complaint was the breathable mess didn't last but about 4 months .I have worn holes in both sides of both pair.
