Customer Reviews Merrell Bravada 2 Waterproof

Much too wide for my narrow foot . Loved the look and colour. Was hoping these would fit. Length wise they were great. Merrell should include a second grommet to be able to securely lock lace .

I have always bought Merrells but the tongue in both shoes does not lie flat and causes discomfort on my foot around the middle of the laces on either side of the tongue

These sneakers fit well on the length and width, and I love the colors, especially the practical fuchsia midsoles (I avoid white midsoles). However, just trying them in the house on carpet and hardwood floors could not convince me to keep them. I felt pressure on the TOP of my foot each time my foot was bending to step forward. Even completely loosening the laces to the maximum did not help. I think the pressure was located where the lacing panels are sewn down where they start, not allowing any stretch as one steps forward and the foot lifts up. I chose these shoes for the soft knit texture, but it did not help because of the way the lacing sides are sewn down, and therefore keep the foot constricted. Too bad because everything else was perfect, plus they look great and stylish! Hopefully, my review will guide Merrell to revise its design.

Super comfy for all day wear! I knocked off two stars for the incredibly awkward asymmetrical toe design. Every time I look down at my feet I feel like I've put the left shoe on my right foot and vice versa. They don't look much better from the side, also due to the asymmetrical toe.

A little big and bulky but comfortable! I returned because they felt too big.

Initially felt very comfortable. Walked 3 miles each day for 3 days. Then a rib developed in the back of the shoe above the heel. The company declared then damaged and i replaced then with different style of shoe. But in the beginning, very comfortable!

They are pretty comfortable however the Bravada original wren better. These i feel need another hole for the laces closer to the top of shoe.

Sadly, the Bravada 2's did not work out for me - they are not supportive enough through the foot and arch area. They made my feet look 2 times larger in width. Also, the insole in one of the shoes was totally bent in half so I will be returning - quality control issue.

This has a captured tongue and I have a very high arch. So could't get in on. Looked like a lovely shoe in all other respects.

A very narrow and tight fit and seemingly cheap materials. Returned.

Purchased in June 2023 but only brought them on vacation in September to the UK. In wet weather one foot was completely dry but the other foot got damp on more than one occasion. The other problem was that the top of the tongue of one shoe was so hard it caused blister and pain when tied. I had to actually cut the material to be able to wear it without pain. The size wide was very good and except for the tongue of the shoe, they were comfortable.

Loved the weight, good style details, however the heel cup was too short to fit my heel which meant the fit and comfort were all wrong. Returned as a result and replaced with Moab Speed Gore Tex.

Started hurting after 2 hours even though I ordered large size in Wide.

I purchased these Bravada 2 shoes because I have wide feet and I wanted a waterproof shoe. This style met both my needs. My one issue is the 'tongue' of the shoe has a fold on either side that digs into the top of my foot eventually causing irritation and blisters. It does help to loosen the laces but this design could be reworked.

I went back and forth on giving 3 or 4 stars and ended up going with 3 because of the amount of money I paid for one of the shoes to end up not being waterproof. So, I've got one dry foot and one damp when I wear them (although it isn't soaking wet, which already makes even a defective pair of Merrells better than some other brands I've tried). I decided to keep the shoes anyway as they function just fine for workdays without rain when the grass is only lightly wet due to sprinklers/dew and there's not a lot of standing water. If you're looking for really good lightweight, comfy, and waterproof footwear, I also bought their Speed Solo Mid Waterproof boot, and it's beyond awesome. I'm only a few weeks into using them, but they've been exactly what I need and my feet are always dry!

This shoe is well structured and has good support. Unfortunately the laces cannot be tightened to allow a good fit. I would say they are waterproof to a point. I did some hiking in extremely wet weather and experienced wet feet.

Runs small toes we're cramped. I preferred a wider toe box. I exchanged for half size up. I usually wear a 6.5 (37) I sized up to a 7.

I bought and disappointed they're too small. I always take a size 10 without fail so I was quite surprised when my toes touched the end.

I wear a 9.5 regular width in all shoes or a 9 wide. I ordered a 9.5 and my toes are touching the front of the shoes. I would need to order a 10 for them to fit and I have never wore a 10 in my life. I feel they are really a size 9, mislabled as a 9.5.

I do love these, very comfortable. However, a year in they are no longer water proof.

They seemed really great, I was very excited. But definitely not for wider feet. There is a seam around the bottom of the shoelaces that is very tight, so while my feet went into the shoe, the pain from that seam was painful and there was no way I was going to be able to wear them, unfortunately. Had to return them :(
