Customer Reviews Merrell Alpine Hiker

Bought a half size larger for a perfect fit. Very comfortable.

I've had mine for a year, I walk in the woods, wore them in caves and they are so cute I like them for my regular shoes too, so much so that I bought a second pristine pair I wear when I'm not on the trails. I found mine to be very comfortable- I wear orthotics in my running shoes but didn't need them in these. I had no issues with blisters or rubbing of any sort. After wearing in rockier areas while on vacation, the toe of the boot started wearing through the top of the vegan leather which is a bummer, and they look irreparable scuffed. My rubber sole at the toes also started loosening a bit too. I've put a lot of miles on them tho! My favorite hiking shoe of all time.

Oh my gosh this is my favorite shoe. IT IS KEY THAT YOU SIZE UP HALF A SIZE!!!!! I experienced similar issues with pain and the lace holders digging into my foot when I ordered a 6.5...but they were so cute I couldn't give up. I reordered in a size 7 and they are the most comfortable shoes I own. So comfortable that I now have a total of 6 pairs of these so that I can continue to wear them as the years go on. I have terrible foot pain that I can't get rid of but with these I have stood at multiple concerts for 4+ hours with zero foot pain. I also wear them walking around NYC all day with zero foot pain. They are a miracle shoe for me! I have not experienced them falling apart but you guys please understand these are CITY HIKERS....these shoes are NOT for actual hiking and are not built for it!! To Merrell - please never stop making this shoe, I'm obsessed. The black with the blue laces is my favorite it's so gorgeous I have 4 pairs in that color!!

very comfortable, true to size, took these to Arizona and they were great

So nice! These are very comfortable and they look really good!

I have these in black. I love them! I'm short so they give me a little boost. I can wear them with skinny jeans or flare, or with leggings. I can go hiking or just wear them casually. I wear a 5.5, ordered a 6, thinking I could wear thick socks to take up the extra room. I should have ordered a 5 or 5.5. They are a little big.

I have wanted a pair of vintage look hikers for years but the vegan options were scarce. As soon as Merrell released these, I bought them and I am so happy I did. They were comfortable right out of the box, look so good, and performed really well on an easy hike through a nature preserve. Merrell's vegan leather is the best I have seen in any kind of footwear. I am so thrilled they provide this option and will always purchase new styles, as needed.

Very comfortable. Gives a good ankle support, which helps my ankle pain.

So comfortable! Never had to break them in! Highly recommend.

I purchased these hikers at the Merrell outlet store in Virginia. These are soooo comfortable! It feels like I'm walking on air. I love the heel height. I purchased the black and burgundy. Money well spent!

These boots are the greatest. At first they were a little stiff but after a couple Wears they are my go to. At first I didn't need to put my orthotics in. I supinate . They feel great and supportive. Love em thank you Merrell

Didn't have time to "wear in" before hiking. Very comfortable from the first day. No blisters or foot pain. Super cute too. Would definitely recommend.

I love this shoe SO MUCH that I bought three more pairs. I have such difficulty finding shoes that don't kill my feet. I've spent thousands of dollats on shoes that I can't wear anymore because the pain in my heels from Plantar Fasciitis has gotten so bad. But these shoes/boots feel amazing. I think the slight heel with an incline helps a lot. But they are 100% stabilizing and have a great sole. They are my favorite and have literally saved my feet. Plus I've gotten several compliments on them. The vegan leather is perfect. Since I've gotten these shoes at Christmas, I have probably worn them at least 50 times and they still look awesome.

I bought these a couple weeks ago at a great price! They run narrow which is perfect for me! otherwise true to size. They hurt my ankles the first couple times of wearing, but broke in rather quickly and quite comfortable now. I wear them walking the dog on cool damp days, out walking casual trails and to work at the shop (pool, patio, fireplace store). I would not recommend as serious hiking boots but perfect for short day hikes, walks on damp days or everyday casual wear! I love them!
