Customer Reviews Merrell Alpine 83 Sneaker Recraft

These were just delivered and they are so comfortable I cant believe it. I love the attached tongue so they are actually slip on shoes. Its great that you can tighten them with the shoestrings. I love the color scheme too. I might just order another pair in a different color.

I am soooo disappointed in the Alpine Sneaker Recraft, which has been so recrafted that its not even nearly the same shoe. Ive bought a new pair of Alpine Sneakers every year for the past 4 years and was looking forward to the shoe I have absolutely fallen in love with. This one is not that. Its large and its clunky. The ankle collar comes up higher than any shoe Ive ever had and I miss the tongue. I mean, Im not a shoe expert, but I think if you completely change a shoe, you should just say its a new shoe and come up with a new name.

New design of my favorite shoe! The only thing I dont like is that you have to stick your foot through a fixed size opening. You can still tie to make it tighter. Its harder to get on but not enough that Id never buy again. Otherwise I love the shoe and this was a great color. Very comfortable! I will buy in the future again!

I ordered these because they looked very much like a pair that I bought several years ago that I wore out. These however are a slip on, the colors are different, and they come up higher on the back of my heel. I have a narrow heel. An issue with these is that since they are slip on, it is more difficult to tie them sufficiently well to compensate for my narrow heel. However, I like the colors which I find attractive. Also, the outer soles seems like they will be tougher than than those of the other shoes.

i bought wrong size; it was much larger and wider than expected, no fault of product at all

Loving these for every day wear! Not only are these very aesthetically pleasing, They very well made! I have cuboid syndrome in my foot andI work 10 hour shifts in these on cement floors and not once have I had foot pain. Will definitely be investing in mor Merrell shoes!

Poor fit and very difficult to get on. Tight ankle.

My job requires me to be on my feet for shifts 8-10 per day and since I purchased these Merrill shoes, my back pain has lessened and the heel pain has also improved. I also love the multiple colors on the shoe as well.

Great shoes. Cleans up easily. I love how the sole comes out.

I bought the Alpine 83 Recraft and did not realize how "attached" the tongue really is. This sneaker actually has more of a built in "sock" which makes it hard to just slip on and off, as I like to do. My modus operandi: leave the laces a little loose - slip the sneaker on and get out the door. On the plus side, once you work your foot into the "sock" the shoe is very comfortable, but I would not buy this again. It is too hard to put on for a casual walk to the mailbox. NOTE: We have had Merrell sneakers with "attached tongues" before and could simply cut the fabric to loosen the tongue. You can not easily do that with this particular shoe. PS I wish all colors came in wide. I wanted the peach and bought it in medium - the "sock" issue might not have seemed like such a big deal with a wider shoe.

they are cute but I don't like the closed laces- my foot doesn't do well with slip ons.

The laces arent of the tie up variety and the tongue of the shoe irritates the top of the foot. I love Merrills but these werent the best fit for me.

Love the original alpine sneakers, but the recraft does not work for me. Very challenging to get my foot into the shoe and the top of the tongue is very irritating to my ankle. I imagine the way you have to step on the heel to navigate your foot into shoe will cause it to break down quickly. Would recommend trying on first, the fit is different than original.

These are the most comfortable sneakers Ive ever bought

They don't fit as well as the other Merrell's I have bought. One shoe is slighly smaller than the other one.

These are comfortable shoes. No problems out of the box. The problem is they are so hard to get on. If I had known they were this difficult to put on I would not have purchased. I should have sent them back. But I needed a pair of walking shoes right away. I think the way the opening is designed is a major flaw in these shoes.

The shoes are cute, and besides, the constricted ankle are comfortable on the foot bed and elsewhere. You really have to work to get your foot in without the laces, allowing the tongue to open, and I felt some pinching and digging on my ankles when trying them out. I have the basic Alpine sneakers and I love them and was looking for a similar fit with a new look. Just didn't work for me.

Not the quality of Merrill. Not much support and run wide. It is a disappointing purchase

These shoes had to be sent back, because the opening was difficult for even my daughters slim, narrow foot to get on.

Comfy but the integrated tongue is very weird and makes it difficult to get the shoe on.

These shoes are crazy comfortable. I have virtually no arches that causes very painful plantar fasciitis and I was having a hard time looking for a pair of shoes that looked good for everyday wear and were comfortable for long walks. I havent given these shoes a break since I got them! Super comfortable and well made, worth the money.

Was hoping to use these as a light hiking shoe, but was disappointed in the lack of support. There is NONE. Had to buy inserts for some support. Otherwise, cute shoe. Not crazy about the lack of tongue. It is just solid fabric across the top. Makes it more difficult to get them on and its just not the same tightness when tying them.

Great quality great fit, just the right footbed that Ive come to expect from Merrell

Love the shoe!!!!!!!!!!! Very comfortable. Love the colors
