Customer Reviews Merrell Alpine 83 Sneaker Sp Botanist

Love them so many compliments everytime i wear them

I bought these because I needed a new pair of sneakers to wear with jeans, that were comfortable and that are durable. I tend to have very narrow ankles, as compared to the rest of my foot, so I'm a difficult fit. These are perfect. I wouldn't say they are necessarily narrow in the heel, per say, but with three added layers of mole skin, I was able to make them fit perfectly. That isn't always the case for me. These are comfortable, functional, to the point that I already have 43.2 miles logged on these shoes and I've washed them, according to care instructions, twice, because I'm outside, rain or shine, for at least 45 minutes to an hour, each day. I highly recommend purchasing the Merrell Rain & Stain to add a light coating, every couple weeks, depending on how much you're outside. It helps preserve the shoes from staining easily and helps make them water repellant....keep in mind, this is different than waterproof. In any case, These are great and I'm going to purchase a 2nd pair to alternate between the two pairs, before my size is sold out. Thanks for another great product, Merrell!

I like my shoes cause they're so cute and comfortable and practical the bottoms really hug the road.

Love the shoes .I own a few merrell shoes some for hiking and sandals.It very light and comfortable for walking around town.I got some compliments for the design.Going to used it for my trip this fall.

Such a fun shoe - bright colors, comfy out of the box, good support, lightweight, plus they have bugs on them! I go between a 7.5 and an 8. I did get the size 8 to give my bunion more room in the toe box area. I'm glad I did because otherwise they may have been too small when the hot weather arrives and my feet swell from walking...

These shoes are SO cute/unique, and I can go all day in them. Perfect for spring travels and even work.

lightweight; feels great; true to size and really cute

Love these shoes! They were super comfortable right out of the box. I have worn them while teaching preschool (standing all day) and while walking around on vacation. No issues at all. I found they are true to size.

These are adorable. True to size in my usual size 8. Love the print and cheerful colors. Comfortable right out of the box, lightweight and breathable.

I started wearing these sneakers immediately and didn't have to break them in. They look so good and offer so much support where I need it the most! This is my second pair, the first pair I wore all through Europe.

The shoe is both comfortable and rugged. It works in all sortsvoof terrain and conditions. Good altogether shoe.

I love colors in design, as they can compliment any outfit. So comfortable and I feel ready for any activity.

Bought these before a month long trip to Europe and they didnt need any break in time at all. I wear them fairly loose - so I can slip on and off without tying and untying. I walked at least 5 miles and up to 10 miles every day and they are soo comfortable! And the look cute with jeans and with dresses. So happy I picked these. Merrill has never disappointed.

These shoes are very comfortable with good arch support. They run true to size and are medium weight so theyre good for being on your feet all day or walking.

Love the multicolor. Fits true--I wear 6.5-7 (37 Euro), ordered a 7 and appreciated the little bit of extra room in the toes due to the slightly tapered style. The arch is adequate but not quite as comfortable as my older Merrells--shorter bump length. There is not much give/cushioning to the insole but overall comfortable enough for all day wear.

Nice sneakers for the gym, esp. the treadmill. My only complaint is that the laces are too short, cause if you dont double tie them they untie.

I got another pair for when these wear out, thats how much I like them! Comfy and stylish-I get compliments from people of all ages!

Unfortunately not the quality Ive come to expect from Merrell - I will be donating these the moment I get home from my trip. I wore them around town for two weeks before leaving and they were ok, but traveling and walking all day, the fact that they are floppy and made for a brick-shaped foot became painfully (literally) obvious. The laces dont really tighten, and there arent two holes at the top to create a lock as a last resort. The heel cup collapses completely. They ARE cute, but unfortunately thats the end of their function as shoes. If you have very square, blocky feet, these might be for you! The rest of us: definitely not.

The shoes are mostly comfortable except the outer edge of the insole seemed to end before my foot did. I could feel it. I normally wear a medium width and so I've never encountered this problem before. Unfortunately I tried walking in them for a couple of weeks to see if it would break in and change over time. That turned out to be a mistake since that made them ineligible for return. I joke that my feet are primarily toes so I often have to evaluate shoes carefully to accommodate both my toes and my narrow heel. These just weren't the solution I wanted.

I like Merrell shoes, but these sem to run a bit big. However, overall, I am very pleased with this purchase.

When wearing these, I immediately felt the comfort, good size, and sturdy soles. But the tie strings have Walmart quality and exterior cloth immediately wrinkled. Merrill did not test for using it with leather. I am keeping them anyway because the color.

Very comfortable with support. Fit my orthotics. Much more comfortable than my previous pair of sneakers.

Cute sneaker! I love the color and style. I can wear these all day. 4 stars because they aren't as supportive as other Merrill's I own.
