Comfortable shoes for walking !!! I have sensible feet and I walked like a breeze in this pair. Will like to find more color selection than what they offer. Only reason why I don't say 5 star

Great, comfortable sneaker. I have many Merrell shoes and hate to wear anything else.

Comfortable and true to size. I loved the color scheme. But the very thin tongue made it difficult to put the shoe on easily -- the tongue would get bunched up as I was slipping my foot in. If this shoe had a thicker, slightly padded tongue, I would have kept it.

I have been buying shoes, including Merrells, in size 8 for years. When I put this shoe in my cart, size 8, Zappos gave me a suggestion that 8.5 would be a better choice. I was not sure about this ,but ordered the 8.5. Zappos was right, this is a great fit! I wish it was available in some other colors, but glad it did come with an alternate set of shoe laces in a bright purple--the shoe itself is pretty uninspiring in appearance.

Good looking update on the Alpine sneaker. Pros: Similar super comfortable fit like the original Alpine, better/brighter colors for women and accent color on the tan/navy (fuchsia) is great, decent arch support. Cons: Tongue is flimsy and gets rolled on the sides, stiffer insole in the heel than the original. Overall, a great sneaker that I'd buy again, would like to see even more bright color combinations for women's.

I bou go t these because I got dressed in the dark and accidentally wore 2 different shoes! I ran to sports store and bought these. They are beautiful and comfortable I always go 1/2 size up with this brand and they fit wonderfully. The only frustrating thing is walking in the tiniest bit of dirt sorties the teal toe and try as I might I cannot ever get it clean again. I have used suede cleaner at least five times and the toes is still dirty. I can't imagine these on an actual trail. Even with that I think I will get the ones with the pink toes. I wear them with scrubs and can stay in my feet all day

I got the darker rainbow color, size 6 and they fit perfectly. I'm always a size 6. I got compliments on them all the time in the beginning. I guess once they started to get dirty no one noticed them as much. After 2 years, the toe flap on the outside is peeling off slightly and there are holes in the inside back of heel, which seems odd, I guess that's where my heel rubs it? Anyway, I've loved these shoes, but one star off for how they've worn, some stitching has come undone as well. These shoes have been well loved. Also, one annoying thing is that the sole makes lines in the carpet like no shie I've ever seen before! It drives me nuts. If your house has a lot of one tone carpet, you'll REALLY notice all the lines. Thankfully I only have a few spaces in my house where I notice it.

I absolutely loved them. They're like walking on cushions and they're wonderful. I might recommend sizing up half a size,

I have worn this shoe for about a month now. I have to say the shoe laces are poorly made and have already begun to fray in some spots on the lace. Also the tongue of the shoe is not very sturdy or well padded. Overall the shoe of very comfortable but I would not buy another pair in this style.

I wore these for some serious walking on vacation, and ended up with matching blisters on the sides of each heel. So they may not be the best for hard core walking, but they are very cute and comfy for shorter distances.

I needed a more substantial sneaker for vacation. Lots of uneven walking, hiking. I like the look of them, but they aren’t as comfortable as past Merrell sneakers have been. The tongue seems to get wrinkled and gets stuck and I end up pulling it back up. My toes aren’t very happy if I wear them for any length of time. They rub under my toes. They would be okay for short term use, but hiking not so much.

I own the original Alpine sneaker and really like them, but they are tight in the toe box. I loved the look of this "sport" style when it came out so I bought a pair a half size larger, thinking that I could get the cute look but with more room for my toes. Unfortunately, it seems like this is a combo of the Alpine look but with the rounder toe shape of the Antora, which I guess is part of what makes it a "sport" style. I love them but they're a little big. Super cute and comfortable shoe though and I think an improvement over the original Alpine sneaker. Definitely true to size.

I purchased a pair with the pink accent. The shoes are super comfortable and true to size. I normally wear a 10.5 and they fit great. I also appreciate that Merrell carries half sizes beyond size 10.
I was disappointed by the color discrepancy between the photos online and what I received. The pink in the photos looks much brighter and lighter than the muted, more dusty pink on the shoes I received.
Their still fun but I would have loved the colors to be as bright as advertised.

The toe box is a little narrower than other Merrells I've had, so take that into consideration if that's an issue for you.

This is a very comfortable pair of sneakers, except for one caveat - they are very slippery on wet tiles. I almost fell more than once wearing these sneakers.

Shoe fits a little narrow and I was not too thrilled on the purple/orange color, it looked more subtle in the photo.

I bought these for the colors which work great for me, but the bottom of this shoe is just not amenable to being broken in. Its like walking on a thick flat platform. If you're looking for cushioning, look elsewhere.

Very comfortable!
Runs a bit large and think I should have ordered 1/2 size smaller, but keeping and wearing with heavy socks.

I like the look and feel of these for casual wear. They're great with jeans. The ridges on the bottom feel a little awkward.

I like the fun colors and get lots of compliments. The toe box is a little small and I have to wear thin socks with these. They're great for my job as a teacher - perfect for standing around in all day.

A bit wide fitting around the ankle, but extremely comfortable shoe that is great for long walks or to pair w/ your favorite jeans. You can see the quality right when they come out of the box. Durable and fashionable. Can't go wrong.
