Customer Reviews Merrell Embark Lace

Been walking around Seoul, S. Korea 10,000 + steps a day for the last week. These sneakers are light weight and comfortable. Great choice for light duty rambling but will stick to Moab's for hiking.

Shoes are light and easy to put on. But the soles are stiff.

I've had these shoes before and they are wonderfull with the exception of the soles wearing out after 5 months of walking. Because they are so comfortable, I've purchased them again.

Love this shoe. Very comfortable and supportive. I own many different kinds of Merrell shoes (barefoot, etc.) and these have become my favorites. I will say that the recommendation on the website to order a smaller size seems off...I read through the reviews and more of them said that they fit true to size, rather than small, so I ordered my regular size. I'm glad I did, because they fit snugly. A half or full size smaller wouldn't have fit at all. Not sure how some people are ordering smaller with no problem (again, I have many Merrell shoes that are all the same size).

I love the way it looks and I love the materials. The sizing isa but big though so get half a size smaller than you normally would wear. And it's narrow too so you should consider getting a wide.

The colours on these are far more muted in person than what you see on the website. I dug em big time but they fit like a size 16 not a 15! I could fit all my fingers on one hand behind my heel so I had to send em back =(

These shoes are very comfortable from the start. Like walking barefoot. My only complaint is that they are hard to put on. It takes a long time because of the flexible part in the shoe opening. But once you get them on, they are great. At least on my feet.

The shoes fit comfortably and have good traction. My only complaint is that it's hard to get your heel in without bending the heel of the shoe.

I brought these with me on a roadtrip to Germany, Czechia and Austria. I needed a sneaker that could handle continuous wear on all kinds of terrains. These sneakers were always comfortable. If I were to change anything about them, I wish they would go on a little easier. The softness of the material makes it a little difficult to get on, but once on they feel like part of your feet.. well worth the effort!

Very comfortable shoe right out of the box. Merrell recommends ordering a smaller size (which I did, but shoe was too small), so I ended up with my usual size. Looks great

The straps on the sides of the shoe make it very difficult to put my foot into the shoe. They are fixed into the sole and sewn at the top. Even pulling the laces out to provide slack in not enough to put on a " tennis shoe without a shoe horn

I've owned a few pair of Merrells now, and theese are just OK.. Pros:breathable, pretty comfy Cons: runs 1/2 size big and your foot kinda slides around in them, i just wear a little thicker sock to correct this..

Got these a few weeks ago they are alright. Got the wide but still difficult to put on and it hurts my feet when walking a while but I guess I just got to get use to it.

They are comfortable if you don't mind the sandal like feel. I wore these Oregon and Washington during fishing trips. I haven't tested them in the water, but i think that's going to be my main use when i fish.

Comfortable overall. Lightweight. I got the wide fit, but slightly too narrow still for my feet. The biggest problem I have with them is they're extremely difficult to put on - so much so that I avoid wearing them as much as I'd like to.

I returned these because the opening at the top was quite narrow and hard to get my foot in and out.

Size 10.5 ran too big and the 10 is too tight they also have no removeable insole making them somewhat uncomfortable.

Not enough cushioning as a sneaker. Cannot add insole because the one in shoe built in and toe box not high enough. Very lightweight but that's about it. Not worth the price. Not useful for working out.

I returned them. Too narrow. Seemed like they would have been a great show though, loved the tread.

I like them, but only 3 stars bc the right shoe seems defective. It squeaks when I walk, but the left one doesn't. Other than that great trail shoe though.

I wear orthodontics and the shoes squeak when I walk.

This shoe fits well, I bought my regular 9, unfortunately the high back on the heal rubs and I received a terrible blister. Do not wear low rise socks. I have still not worn again cause heal is still recovering. They are also not a real runner, they are more like a Vessi shoe, one rubber piece.
