This is my 3rd pair of Nova trail runners. I've had 2 pairs of the Nova 2 and I'm looking forward to even better performance with the Nova 3. These have been great shoes on trails and also for general use. The soles are extremely durable with solid grip and the overall construction has been excellent! I just ordered a pair of the women's version for my wife as well. Maybe now she'll be able to keep up with me :)

Supportive, comfortable, durable and well constructed, and pretty good looking overall. Best pair of everyday sneakers I've had in many years.

Most comfortable pair of shoes I own. A little slippery on tile when brand new. Light weight. Great on trails and grass.

A wonderfully comfortable pair of shoes. Comfortable for all day and use them for workouts as well. Cheaper Nd better alternative to a pair of Hoka's.

These are great shoes. At 6'3" and 250lb. I go through shoes quickly. These lasted a good 5 months before they started to loose support and developed a small hole where my big toe is. I work in a marina and these gave me great traction on a multitude wet and dry surfaces. I would definitely recommend then and would buy another pair if they were in stock in my size.

Hadn't worn Merrells in years but bought these as a daily walking and light use trail running shoe. They have been phenomenal. Been using them almost daily for the last 11 months and they are still quite comfy. Two things of note are the tread under the front of the foot is almost completely gone and the heel of the shoe is breaking down despite using a shoe horn every time. Still love these shoes and likely will buy the same ones again!

These are some of the best shoes that I own. I have tried many, some Merrell's, but mostly many other top brands. The support is great for long days on my feet at work on concrete floors. Plenty of room up front for the toes and no weird rubbing anywhere else. Also good for neighborhood walks, a little more than two miles a day. Plenty of cushion so no sore feet. But the best enjoyment comes while on our weekly 4 mile hike through the woods on all types of terrain. This is where they really shine for me. Traction over wet rocks, muddy spots, leaves and pine needles is great too. Ohand the rock plate is just rightnot stiff or heavy like some. Right now they are my favorite shoes!

I've had the Nova 3s about one week now. The shoes were comfortable and ready-to-go out of the box. Size and width were both as expected. In the past seven days I have averaged 10-12 miles per day on the shoes over a combination of pavement, crushed gravel, and trails with roots and rocks. The Novas have handled everything just great! The remaining test will be to see how long the shoes (particularly the soles) stay durable.

Around town or on a trail, loved the Nova 2 shoes. Nova 3 even better. Like the bungee for keeping your laces out of the way. Great colors, comfortable fit, true to size.

Took these on a trip to Germany and they handled everything I threw at them! Hiking and city cobblestones were easy peasy! Wore them everyday for 2 weeks straight!

One of the most comfortable waking shoes I've ever owned. Light weight but still supportive. Spent hours in them in Europe this summer.

4th pair, Dona lot of long distance hiking and general long walks with my dog twice a day. Super comfortable on pavement and as for the trail, the only shoes I haven't had blisters from in a long time.

Tough, versatile and good looking for a reasonable price. As lightweight hikers they are just what I was looking for.

I bought these as a shoe between Merrell trail runners and Merrell hiking boots. We hike in Italy or Switzerland every fall, usually doing hut-to-hut outings for 14 days or so. Our packs weigh 12 pounds, plus/minus a couple pounds. So we do not need MOAB boots. These Novas serve that purpose. Very supportive, comfortable and mid-light. Very happy with them.

Another in many years of great Merrill shoes. Something was not right with this pair, so Merrill made it very easy to return I am going to reorder them in the next few days when restocked with the colors I'd prefer

Awesome shoe. I've walked 15+ miles in NYC with no issues. They're comfortable, lightweight, and have an overall amazing build quality. I'll buy these again.
