Customer Reviews Merrell Alpine Sneaker Sport

The right shoe’s sole is not right and feels very uncomfortable.

Hard as a rock on sole/insole. Too bad thought they were super cute.

I wanted to love these shoes because they are very comfortable, stay fairly dry, and I think they’re cute, but the tread on the bottom just ruins them. It’s like they are made specifically to cause you to slip when going downhill on any type of terrain. They also are prone to slipping on any kind of smooth surface regardless of incline, whether that be a boulder out on a hiking trail or the floor at the grocery store. Very sad to not be able to wear these without worrying that I might slip and fall.

I love Merrell, however, these particular ones are too tight for my everyday walking. I wish I’d go for a half size larger. Also, compared to my other many Merrell shoes of different styles, these pair is the least comfortable.

Felt at least a half size too small, with zero “give.” I think there’s a price to be paid when you stitch different materials together, as was done in this style. And the price is comfort! The stitching does not allow the foot to move around properly. Also felt a bit too shallow and slipped on and off my foot, despite feeling too small. This seems to be common in Merrell non-hiking shoes, I’ve noticed. They feel cheap. I still love my Merrell hiking boots but the quality has gone down in recent years, especially in the non-hiking footwear (which this shoe falls under). Zappos should probably not put these shoes under “hiking,” either. That’s literally the only reason I bought them, since hiking normally=comfortable. With that said, Zappos customer service is still top notch!

I've had great success with every pair of Merrell shoes except for these. The tread is slippery on wet surfaces and I don't like the fit of these. They are a little too thick in the sole and a little too wide around my feet.

The treads are all horizontal which makes walking on damp, wet or snowy surfaces very hard. It’s almost like having many skating blades on your feet. Wouldn’t recommend

Was really looking forward to trying a pair of Merrill sneakers and very disappointed. These shoes have very little cushion and the arch support feels like a small bubble in the middle of your foot. They were more attractive online than in person . The midsole is a tan/cream color and look dirty straight out of the box. The treads on the bottom are serious. The best thing about these shoes is they are much sturdier with suede like uppers and strong medial lateral support in the midfoot. They were very uncomfortable and I am sending them back
