I bought these for work. They are light weight and comfortable. They grip well and are true to size. I am glad I purchased them.

I have been wearing Merrells for decades and never have a problem with them. The fit perfect every time and are always comfortable. I have around 12 different pairs... and am wearing pair as I type this review. Can't say enough good things about them.

I work in solar installation, so we are on roofs quite a bit obviously. I have not only tried numerous types of shoes, from numerous manufacturers; but also numerous Merrell products as well, and these are by far the best. Comfortable. Tough. Tons of grip. A wonderfully engineered piece of footwear. About to get my next pair as soles have worn due to constant roof work, which is to be expected and happens much quicker with most other shoes. May not be for your application, but if you're on roofs, get these!

I love this shoe. Speed laces are perfect. Vibram is the gripiest for rocks. I did notice the tacticle were tighter in width at first but eventually broke in.

I bought these shoes for shooting competitions. I train and compete in them. They are extremely comfortable. A little tough to get on, but once you figure it out, it's worth it.

I have 8 pairs of Cham shoes and I rotate them daily. I wear them everywhere, from playing catch with my grandson @ Little league, walking the dog to batting practice with the kids. They withstand a lot of use even though each pair gets used only once every 8 days.

I love these shoes. I have them in several colors and multiples of many. These are the best shoes ever made in my opinion. These are virtual carbon copies of the original Chameleon Stretch. I was extremely excited to see Merrell bring it back. I hope this shoe does not "evolve" again.

Great breathable shoe, NOT waterproof. If you're looking for a good shoe for dry days this is the one.

I have two pairs for daily LEO use and I really like them. In my opinion they are a great compromise between sneaker and boot. Stiff and tough enough sole for protection but still light enough to be comfortable. I admit I'm not a huge fan of the lacing system. I replaced them with some high quality laces. Overall very happy with these.

Fit perfectly and super comfortable. Needed a shoe that didn't press on my Achilles. These are perfect. I'll be buying more when the other colors are available.

Had my first pair a few weeks, now, been difficult to get out and use them the way they were designed, since, who wants to dirty up a new pair of shoes, right? Wanted a better selection to go with all outfits, so, I snagged a second pair in a different color, and, boy, am I glad I did! Took the first pair out to the dog park, today and ran the boys. The ground is still wet, and slick in some places, as we haven't fully dried out, here, yet. First off, these are nice and tight, and feel very secure on your feet. You can feel the traction, it's that good. If the dog's pulling on the leash, and you find yourself on the tough end of an 80lb dog who just saw a squirrel up ahead on the trail, just dig in and lean back - you ain't going nowhere, and neither is he. Hold the line! Once again, the firm fit and foothold is great for running, as well. One of my main concerns, just walking in these, was how loud they'd be at pace. They're a little, "clicky" when walking, which is why I thought this. However, jogging at a good clip on pavement, they're much quieter than I expected. They're not soft sneakers, but they don't slap, either. The, "tromp" is tame, if you're thinking you're gonna need to move quickly and quietly. Thus far, these seem well-built with a few, "tactical" aspects, and I wouldn't hesitate to use these for fieldwork where traditional tac boots may give away an otherwise plainclothes appearance. You're not gonna be able to keep your feet dry slogging thru ankle-deep mud or water, but, it's enough for most suburban patrols and ops, I suspect. All in all, very satisfied with these, and, my only complaint is their lack of fashion, but, that seems pretty facile, given what these are designed for.

I love these laceless water proof shoes. I wear one pair for refereeing (when the grass is wet with dew in the mornings, these shoes keep my feet dry and warm). I have a second pair for work. They are super easy to slip on. I love these so much, I've got a third pair already ordered (cos my referee shoes, after two years and tons of games, are finally looking like they will fall apart in the next month).

I've had these shoes for a month. I think they are the best hiking shoe I've ever owned. They've been fantastic on all surfaces including snow. My foot feels so secure in this shoe. I joke that it's like having a hoof. They do require a good shoehorn to get them on
