I want something lighter than a boot but more wet resistant than a tennis shoe when I am working with cattle and doing my chores -- this shoe is perfect !

I average 20-30k steps a day at work, these do the job.

Great shoe for walking, hiking and fishing. Excellent traction. Plan to buy another pair.

I do like these shoes very much. I do a combination of trail/gravel road walking. My one complaint is that the are difficult to put on. My suggestion would be more stretching or a larger opening so its not such a struggle to get them on your feet.

Great Slip-on rough and tough shoe. Just a little tight when they first arrived. I did a little work on them and they fit great now.

I love this shoes one of my favorite Model of Merrell. The only thing I find uncomfortable is the stretch part, cause if you have a wide feet, it's not easy to wear, plus in many cases the material inside the stretch area tend to gather in one side.

I've had a similar pair of stretch shoes and wanted them to work but were too narrow.

Have been a long time wearer of the chameleon. Would have been 5 stars but the last couple of pairs have been sub par. Just seem to wear out faster then they used to an I've had the strap on the back fail prematurely. But my love of this style shoe has brought me back for another pair. This is my first water proof chameleon an I got to say they work pretty good. Not 3" of water kind of good but was out in the snow for quite awhile the other day and feet stayed dry and warm.

They are Chameleons. They work. Not much else to say.

Only drawback I have on the chameleon is the sock. Struggled to put foot through, however once through the sock , the fit was good. Very comfortable. Went through Rocky Mountain National park without issues.

I've owned mine for about a year. I typically wear a 13-14 depending on the shoe model. I bought a pair of 14s and they seemed comfortable. After wearing them for a few hours I noticed that the side of my big toes were getting sore(on the outside where they came in contact with the shoe). Since they can't be returned once they're worn, I wear them when I know they will be for a relatively short time(less than two hours). I just bought a new pair of 15s, and I am returning those. The laces on the 15s are freakishly long. There is no way to neatly tuck them away. I just ordered some Moab 2 Ventilators and since I already have a pair of Moab 2 Mids goretex I'm certain they will be perfect. I would love to see Merrells available in narrow width.

Easy to wear with good support and comfort but even after pulling on the string to tie the shoe they feel a little loose.

Great for playing DiscGolf. Waterproof, breathable, awesome traction
I've played about twelve (18 pin)rounds and they are holding up to the abuse of water, mud and trees.

Solid choice for a mix of outdoor activities. No break-in period. Good traction and effective waterproofing. Weight is in the rear of shoe. A diet of a few ounces would make this shoe perfect.

This is my 4th pair. I love them. However this is the first pair that has not been true to size. Disappointed in that but otherwise they are great.

Happy At first but somewhat disappointed now. These shoes are supposed to be waterproof. They are not. Anytime I walk in snow my feet become wet and cold.

My Merrell Chameleons were delivered last week, and I have worn them every day since they arrived. This is an amazingly comfortable shoe. They fit and feel wonderful without any break in period. So you can only imagine how great they will be in six months. Fits like a glove for the feet.
The one drawback is the drawstring lacing system. Not my cup of tea. The problem is that when I pull the drawstring tight I have a full eight inches of left over elastic lace that needs to be somehow tucked in or stored unless you want to risk the danger of tripping over the loop. Not good. Fortunately it is easy to see how to convert the shoes to a standard lace. I ordered them immediately.

Had a pair of these for years and loved them. Ordered same size (11) but new ones were tight. Design is slightly different. Had to exchange for 11.5 which fit good.

Purchased these 2 weeks ago and they are comfortable. Only complaint I have is the elastic cord. It is very long and am having to tuck it under other rows of the elastic cord in front to get the fit snug enough.

I just got these boots and wore them to work a couple times to break them in. They didn't need much to break in. I then took them on a backpacking trip into the Uintah Mountains in Utah. They worked great. They were comfortable and I didn't get any hot spots or blisters. They had great traction and arch support. I have Plantar Fascitits and the boots gave me good support and my feet felt good. The only issues I had were with the height of the boots on my ankles. The boot doesn't go up my ankle as far at the Moab boots and rocks got into my boot. The laces are cool but the plastic clip seems a bit cheap and it got stuck a few times. I think it is on the verge of breaking. Merrell could do a better job on the plastic lace clips.
