Customer Reviews Merrell Hydro Moc Drift

These shoes are more comfortable than I expected. I call them my chemo shoes because I purchased them just for that reason. Easy to put on and take off. Very flexible. Supportive enough for navigation to/from chemo and in no way bulky. Breezy so when my feet get hot, I have air flow. I can't wait to wear them on the beach when chemo is done and life finds a new norm. Thank you, Merrell!!

The hydro has become my daily shoe. Excellent shock absorption. Comfort, support and flex are top notch. I shattered my ankle in 8th grade. Severe pain all the time. These have reduced my pain to near nothing!!!! Im so happy i found them.

I have terrible feet problems ! Last summer I went to Africa and Italy and for a solid month I wore these shoes! I hiked, swam, walked and danced in them! My feet never hurt which was amazing! I plan to use them for running now as no other pair of expensive runners has worked for me! I can't say enough good about them! MY FEET LOVE THEM,

These fit better than crocs, are breathable and when worn with thick socks, serve as good gardening shoes. Seems pricey for molded, squishy plastic, but what the heck.

Odd having to order 1 size down, size 7 would have to be too big on me though. I love it, super comfy as I use this as a house slipper - for now. We shall see how this performs when I go kayaking at the Emerald Cave in Las Vegas.

I have owned Merrell shoes previously, but never tried the water shoes. These are the most comfortable water shoes I've ever tried. Seriously. They're a little tricky to get on my feet with the strap in the back, but they fit perfectly, they don't rub anywhere on my feet, and they have amazing arch support. I wear them when I go to physical therapy, where they have an underwater treadmill machine. The shoes are great for my feet and I recommend them highly.

I'd love to get an " incentive " for this review because I want another pair! I've owned 25+ pair of Merrell over the last 17 years. Lately some styles I had to go up to a size 9 from my solid 8.5. Was frustrating because Merrell was always perfect w sizing for me. Recommendations on this shoe was size down. I hesitated because lately I was sizing up...but I got the 8 and it is PERFECT. And the comfort is exquisite. Would love the pink pair but the blue strap is a turn off. So if you'd like to gift me the black pair that would be awesome LOL.

I received these as a gift. They work very well in my shallow water running class! Great support and protection. They don't slip on the bottom of the pool. Easy to get on. I usually wear a 7.5. These are perfect in a 7.

This shoe is very comfortable. Although it is a water shoe, I use it for wearing around the house. I do wish it came in half sizes since my toes just brush the front. One thing that helped was to rotate the strap to the front over the instep. When it is in the back, it pushes my foot forward. With it in the front, it keeps my foot from going too far forward. The shoe still stays on without a problem.

Although usually a size 8-8.5, the 6 was a perfect fit - still room for socks. Perfect for kayaking - good heel protection & light weight for bike touring (wear off bike).

For rocky beach walking and water entry, these amphibian- looking slip-ons are great. Ordered the smaller size (an 8 rather than 9 for 8.5) and they fit well and stay on. The arch support makes them much more comfortable than other, flatter-soled varieties. Easy to rinse off and keep clean. My bunion-related issues are not exacerbated by the construction. Very important! So good, I bought a pair for my husband, too, and he is equally pleased.

Was not sure when I ordered these how often I would wear them, however, now it seems I never take them off. Wear them for all my outdoor activities and garden duties.

My husband and I each purchased these shoes. They are very comfortable but do fit big. They aren't just for water. We will definitely purchase another pair just in a smaller size.

I wear an 8 1/2 wide in most althetic shoes and sandals, and often have a hard time finding "easy" shoes that are also supportive (and don't look orthopedic). I tried these on in a size 8 just in case they fit, and not only did they fit great, but it felt like they were doing the walking for me! The arch is in just the right place, and they feel very stable. The heel strap allows me to adjust the tension exactly where I need it to keep them secure. You may feel like an extra in Aquaman, but you're buying shoes for the functionality anyway.

Now days, I'm wearing more 10s than 9s, but still get a 9 every so often. After reading other reviews, I decided to err on the small side & ordered a 9. It was perfect! The shoe is comfortable with tons of toe room, plenty of built-in support, & will be great to wear on our flyfishing trips. Can also see myself wearing them around the house & making a dash outside. Hmmm...maybe there is another color in my future!

LOVE!

As expected, these are so comfortable and supporting. I know they say Hydro, but I wear them around the house! And the color is fantastic.

Wanted good shoes for kayaking that stay dry and don't hold onto the salt water smell after coming off the water. These shoes are perfect for both purposes and I appreciate that, unlike similar shoes, these have backs that keep my heels from coming into contact with the sand inside the bottom of the boat.

I bought this shoes to take to our lake house for boating and use around the rougher terrain in the mountain lake water area.I love the way they feel and they have a nice snug fit around the heel. I have to admit though they do look a lot like a Croc shoe. The difference is on the inside in the arch. These shoes are very supportive. I like them so much I think I'm going to get a second pair to keep around the house for those unexpected invites out on the rivers nearby.

I finally found a great water shoe by my favorite brand in running shoes. I went with previous reviews and bought a size smaller and I'm glad I did! I like that the back strap can be moved to the front. I found that when I was walking in them dry, the back of the left was rubbing my ankle. Once I moved the strap to the front, problem solved. I moved it to the back when wet to help secure them on my feet. I love that they dry out quickly so you don't get the soggy feet syndrome you get with other types of water shoes.

I was attracted to the well thought out design and aesthetics then sold by the stylish comfort and functionality of this moc. The sole is thick, supportive and cushy like a shoe with a gummy and soft upper. Looks great with funky colorful socks. Fit is roomy, easy to slip on and off. I normally wear a size 9 and have a narrow heal / wide toe. I chose size 9 because 8 was simply too short when I tried it on. Despite being roomy the shoe doesn't slip around on my heel when walking around with socks. Great design work by Merrell! Highly recommended for folks wanting a fresh comfortable alternative slip-on, or an alternative to the same old sport sandals.

Live on a Lake and these are Perfect. Love the strap in the back. Keeps things snug. This pair are the second pair I bought. Gave the first pair away. The person I gave them to Loves them also. Will be our Go To Water Shoe this Summer.

I love this shoe, it may not be very appealing to the eye at first but they are better in person. They did run a little larger than normal "sandals". I am an 8.5 and I always size down for sandals and I could have purchased a 7 and they would have been more fitting however, the bigger fit isn't terrible! Don't size up though, I'll be purchasing an additional colorway.

I ordered them for my wife.We take our kids on creek hikes and nature walks. She must really like them because she wears them everywhere now, running errands, running across the traffic with a coffee and a water bottle in her hands.she says they're super comfortable.

Great water shoes. The only issue is that the vents are big enough to let in gravel.
