Customer Reviews Merrell Antora 2

These are pretty and feel okay to walk in... but awful for running. I was very disappointed because my last pair of Merrel's were my favorite running shoes with over 250 miles. I have tried to run twice in the both times a 2-3 mile run and each time my feet hurt and my toes went numb. Very uncomfortable.

Don't provide me the stability I was hoping for with this product.

While it did have a wide toe box, the footbed was hard, without cushion, which was uncomfortable.

I was so excited when these were available again after missing them the first time. I based my purchase off of the fit of other Merrill shoes I have (and LOVE) and ordered a regular width. They were a little tight when I got them but I assumed they'd break in with use. I've worn them every day since receiving them, hoping they'd break in and feel better. They don't. I have the laces so wide that they just look silly.

Although these are touted as "wide width" they are not very. I do not have abnormally wide feet, just enough that wide are much more comfortable. These hurt, so are sitting in my closet, looking good.

I bought these shoes normally loving Merrell's products, but the insole doesn't stay in place, so even after straightening it out, as soon as I put the shoe on, the insole slides to the back of the shoe and I can feel my toes dangling over the front edge. No matter how many times I take the shoes off to straighten it out, it just keeps happening, rendering these shoes unwearable. I am very disappointed, as I loved the rainbow design.

The product is not durable, after a week it developed a whole/tear on the side of the sneaker

I love the fit and comfort level of this shoe but within 1 month of me wearing them to my office job, the netting overlay started fraying and pulling apart. The shoes look like they have had some hard wear but they are only 2 months old. The sole isn't even slightly worn because I only wear them in my office. Very disappointed in the materials used on the outside of the shoe.

These do not last. I have had them for less than a year. I wear them walking for about an hour a day and the fabric has split. My feet are very narrow so it's not like I am putting pressure on them.

I'm so disappointed in the durability of these trail runners. I cycle through a few pairs of trail runners, and these are showing considerable wear at the pinky toes consistent with other users' experiences after less than a year of light use. I have other older Merrells that are doing much better, so I am now trying out the new Antora 3. The upper seems much more durable.

I bought these shoes last summer to wear for walking excursions on a cruise. They fit well and are very comfortable. The problem is they have developed a squeaky noise with every step. The sound is exactly like that of baby alligatorssort of like grunts. Very noticeable and embarrassing! There are no other issues, but I cannot wear them with this annoying flaw.

I bought my shoes three months ago and holes are already beginning to form on the top of one shoe. I am super disappointed because my other merrell shoes have been amazing quality!

I loved these so much - but as others have said, they fell apart quickly. The interior lining started deteriorating and causing awful blisters on the back of my heels. I barely wore them! I'm so disappointed!

Does not have a supportive heel. The heel is very soft and flexible and does not look like the pictures describing the heel online. If you need a ridged heel this is not the shoe for you. Shoes arrived the same day my return window closed.

I have had Merrell shoe that last way longer than these, after 3 months they had holes on the top outside, then holes on the ankle, then on the other top side! Well I kept them because the bottom was still in excellent shape and still are after a year. Still fit great today. The problem is the material Merrell used for the top. Just purchased Moab 3 hope the top last on these!

poor quality, barely used, but showing great wear on soles and have a hole in the fabric on one sneaker. I am a long, long term user of Merrells so this very sad to me. I love the colors, but can't believe they are not up to the usual Merrells standards.

Not at all like my Merrill's I've been buying for years

The worst, because I could not buy the shoes and my card was charged and the money was reversed five days later and I lost the opportunity to make another purchase

Within my year of traveling in the EU, UK, and AUS, it's too bad that the uppers wore out so quickly with four visible holes. Made me feel like a poor relation, rather than a seasoned traveler. Otherwise . . . Great arch support. Great sole. Very comfortable. If they held together better, I'd gladly have another pair.

I bought these for daily walks in the park and hiking trip to Great Smoky Mountains. I was excited when first receiving them as they were comfortable. But in less than 2 months & while on my trip to GSM, I noticed my ankles were killing me. Upon examining them, the spongy/foam in soles had broken down causing mis alignment of feet and ankles. Unfortunately they were the only hiking shoes I had taken. I was miserable for a week. I would not recommend these unless Merrill update the support system for the Antora shoes. Now they are glorified lawn and garden shoes & almost ready for the trash. I have several other pairs of Merrill boots and shoes that are fine, but I'll pass on purchasing the Antora until they are actually made the hiking.

I got these shoes for some light hiking. The stitching started coming undone within one week. Now after 6 months of casual use there are holes in the sides. Can't imagine how bad it would be if I was actually trail running as they are intended for. Maybe I got a bad pair, but super disappointed in the quality of these.
