Customer Reviews Merrell Alpine 83 Sneaker Recraft

not a good fit. Got a size up. Got foot in shoes too big. Came with no packing slip. can't find how to exchange. First time had a problem with this company

I have been wearing Moabs for many years on my daily 4-5km walks, so I was excited to try the Alpine Sneaker, expecting similar performance & comfort. Unfortunately in the first week of wearing these after only a 30 min walk I developed pain in the ball of my left foot. It was sore the rest of the day & the next morning was very swollen & tender to the point I was limping. I ended up needing to stop my walks and rest for over a week, wearing a metatarsal cushion to allow my foot to heal. I can only think this was caused by the shoe, the footbed seems quite rigid so maybe that? Nothing else was out of the ordinary & I've never had this kind of issue with my feet before. These shoes are cute & the colours are stylish, but they actually injured me so I cannot recommend them if you plan on walking in them for more than half an hour.

WHY WHY did Merrell get rid of the original Alpine??? Leave well enough alone, that was a great shoe! PLEASE bring back the original, these are garbage.

I couldn't get my foot into the sneaker. I returned them.
