Customer Reviews Merrell Alpine Sneaker Sport

They hurt my feet and don't bend well. I don't wear them. I walk five miles a day and I thought these would be dressy and utilitarian. Not. They live under my bed.

I want to love these! Unfortunately, I've rolled my ankle twice now in these shoes. The base is too narrow. It needs a more substantial sole so that if your heel strike isn't perfectly aligned, your whole foot won't roll.

Purchased this shoe to trail walk. I was looking for good traction in a light weight sneaker to walk uneven and hilly trails in Panama. I have been a Merrell fan for years, so this brand was my go-to. I had never seen a sole like this one, so walked around the store in the shoes for a bit, just to test it out before making my purchase. I would highly NOT recommend this shoe. Although my time in the store was fine, once I hit the trails I found this shoe very wobbly. I have never experienced this kind of instability from a Merrell in prior purchases. When I contacted Merrell with the issue, their response was prompt and courteous, but I'm stuck with a shoe I can't use except indoors on flat surfaces. Merrell calls this a "comfort" issue, but I would call it a stability issue and wonder what other customers think about this sole??

I was so excited to try these because of the rave reviews here but unfortunately they were wrong for me. The tongue is way too stiff and digs into my ankle. When I first tried them on I noticed but then thought maybe they would break in, so I wore them for a day. Bad mistake, because now I can't return them and my ankles are bruised. Super disappointed in Merrell and this design

I love how colorful and how comfortable these shoes are. Having said that...I've had them for about 3 months, don't even wear them everyday, and when I do, I only wear them for 2 hours max., but already there is a hole in the right inside heal that goes through the material and the padding to the leather. The left shoe is not as bad, but getting there. This is not the quality we are used to from Merrell and unacceptable for a shoe in this price range!

Super stiff sole; it's like wearing a foot cast. I think a lot of people are cool with that degree of support or even looking for it, but it was the opposite of what I was looking for unfortunately. Otherwise comfortable enough. No fault to Merrell - it's just a lot of shoe.

I wanted to love these, but sadly had to return. At first I thought the sizing was bizarre, but even after trying my true size and a 1/2 size down, my heel slipped no matter what sock I wore. I have never had this issue with shoes in the past. I returned them in the store and we tried different laces, a heel insert, sole insert and the employees couldn't figure it out either other than the same shoe in a different material had a totally differently padded heel. I loved the look of this shoe so much! So bummed they didn't work.

I don't know what was wrong with my pair I received, but the bottom was so sticky that it was adhering itself to the floor and making a very annoying sound with each step. I couldn't deal with it and I returned them. I don't even know if they were comfortable because I couldn't wait to take them off.

I purchased this pair of Alpine sneakers because my friend told me that they were the most comfortable shoe she had ever purchased. They felt fine when I tried them on and walked around the house. I wore them for a 40-minute walk, and couldn't wait to get home and get them off my feet! The left sneaker was fine. The right had an area above the joint on my big toe where it rubbed and was unbearable after the 40 minutes. Of course, I can't return them because I wore them for 40 minutes.

Make the men's available in the same colors as the womens. Men enjoy style too... Just saying
