I have painful feet because of surgery and bunions. I appreciate that I can actually feel the arch support on my high arches, love the stretchy laces that you can tie high up on the foot, love that they are waterproof and have good tread, and I love the color and style of this shoe. I only wish they were offered in xwide!

These didn’t fit the same as my first pair. Very inconsistent in size.

Fit is true to size, tongue and lacing a bit weird but overall good shoe. Unfortunately, it made my feet sweat (even just trying on and walking around my house) to the point that my socks were wet and then feet got cold. Didn't want to chance wet/cold feet on the trail so returned them. Waterproofing very good but unfortunately could not keep these hikers.

Comfy Shoes for travel. Used them throughout UK in September/Oct. They did keep my feet dry but are a little warm. Wouldn't use them if hot out! No breaking in required.

Nice looking shoe, they fit a little snug maybe because I have a high in step. Wouldn't be able to wear them a long time but they are nice

Love these shoes. I purchased them for a trip to Alaska in September and they were perfect. I wore them in a rain on a few days and my feet stayed warm and dry. I plan to wear them more frequently for trail walks with my dog, I found them comfortable and had good arch support, which is important to me having plantar fasciitis. My only complaint is the round shoelaces were a bit hard to get a snug fit, they came undone a few times. I'm sure over time they will wear down a bit and be easier to tie.

I ordered these for a vacation in Scotland, and they were super comfortable for walking all day on a mix of surfaces. They were weirdly neither waterproof nor breathable. I would call them more water-resistant, eventually it does start seeping through. I also started carrying an extra pair of socks in my bag because of how sweaty my feet would get, but that wasn't a problem on cold days. I wasn't sure what size to get (usually 8M) so I ordered an 8 wide (in black) and an 8.5M (in green). When I tried them on, they fit exactly the same. All in all a confusing but very comfortable pair of shoes with good traction for hiking on mixed surfaces.

Well made. Water tight! Width could use some work. Fit more like regular width to me. I love merrell. Best shoes ever! Been a fan since 2014

I sized up a half size based on the reviews, which was the right choice. When I first put them on, the top of the shoe felt great (a kind of woven fabric), which was wonderful for my hammer toes, corns, etc. But the bottom of the footbed has essentially NO padding, very bad on the bottoms of my feet, but I really wanted a waterproof shoe so stuck with them. After wearing them inside for a couple of days and ordering Dr. Scholl's heavy duty comfort insoles (warning: remove the flat Merrell's insoles before you install them!), they are now very comfortable. I bought them for a trip to Ireland which will involve a lot of walking and a lot of rain. I think they'll be perfect. They're also a little cuter than most sneakers and in black and white will go with all my clothes.

I have two other pair of Bravada shoes and love them. This pair is waterproof unlike my other two pairs. The waterproof shoes make my fit sweat and do not work in hot climate. ( I think they have a extra material inside of them) They also run about a half size smaller than the other Bravada.

Not as wide as other wides. They felt tight with my hiking socks. I am hoping that they will break in or I will have to switch to thinner socks. They felt great otherwise. The arch fit my foot well, my toes did not touch the end with size 8W.

My shoes are very comfortable, great for walking even long distances, lightweight and I like the way they look. The only downside is they are not truly waterproof. My feet were wet after walking through wet grass. I kept them because of the reasons listed, however I was disappointed they are not waterproof as advertised.

Love! The colors are great (neutral and bright) and love that they are waterproof. Only gave 4 starts, because I haven't tested out the waterproof feature to its fullest yet. Overall, great purchase!

This is a good-looking, lightweight shoe and I would have kept them if they had been comfortable. I have high arches and ended up feeling like there was a lack of arch support along with pressure points at the ball of my foot. Additionally, the top of my foot rubbed on the stitching of the tongue.
The toe area is roomy and the heel fit securely; these could work well for someone with flatter feet.
I ordered a half size up and am glad I did; my regular size would have been too small.

Returning because they are shorter than most Merrell's in size 11. I wish Merrell would make extended sizes in more of their shoes. Otherwise, these are super cute and would be comfy at the right length.

I'm glad I read that they run a bit small. I ordered 1/2 size larger. I wish the laces would pull all the eyelets tighter, but they don't, and when you tighten the lower laces, they loosen as soon as you let go. My heels slip a bit and I can't seem to fix that problem.

I have ordered shoes for myself and my husband and the service and quality of the product has always been amazing I loved these, and was so excited when they arrived. But unfortunately these fit a bit to tight and I had to return them.

I can only give these shoes 4 stars because I have not used them as intended just yet. I bought them for a 10 day bike and barge trip in the Netherlands in April. I will use these shoes for my cycling on a hybrid bike. They say they are waterproof so I am hoping if it's misty or raining they will protect my feet! So far, breaking them in they are comfortable and keeping my plantar fasciitis under control.

The length and width are true to size. The shoe is constructed well. The black shoe with white laces and trim is very attractive. There is not enough arch support for my feet so I will be returning them.

This shoe is very comfortable. It is flexible and durable. I have used it on concrete and sand trails with no issues. That said it is not as stiff as its predecessor which is something I valued. This has more of a traditional sneaker feel vs. the stiff hiking shoe. I have multiple foot issues and the previous design was better suited for me. It is an alternative I can use for daily living and short hikes but nothing very long.
