I bought these for my wife as we walk 4-5 miles everyday and she LOVES them. Every time we go out she comments how much she enjoys having these new shoes. She says they are very comfortable with zero need to break in. She likes the style and is considering buying another pair just to keep in the closest for when these wear out as she likes them that much.

I have gone through a couple pairs of Antora 2 sneakers for work (hospital RN, 12 hour shifts) and I absolutely loved every pair. It was time to buy a new pair of shoes so I bought a pair of the Antora 3. Despite buying the same size (8.5), the fit is longer and wider than expected. The sole feels cheaper - lighter in weight, but ridged and in need of breaking in. After switching shoes I noticed more lower back and knee pain after my shifts, and I'm hoping this resolves once the shoes break in a little more. The overall style is great and the rainbow color way adds interest and a much needed pop of color to my all white nursing scrubs. Overall, the Antora 3 are ok, but I want my Antora 2 back.

It's been about a month since I received my new Antora 3's and I have run in them several times now - on ice, snow, trails, with spikes on, without spikes on and am enjoying them thoroughly. The room in the toe box is great, and a great heel lock.

Great Shoes and support! Got them in Tucson for the sand on the trails, bought another pair in Ohio! For hikes and walks! There is a bounce to my step!

Much too cute !!! I love Merrill shoes. They fit my feet perfectly. And last FOREVER ! I have one pair of boots (17 years), a pair of sandals (15 years), a pair of Jungle SLIDES (no longer available as far as I can tell — 25 years). I still wear all of those regularly. Now I have this VERY CUTE pair of athletic shoes. These are so exceptionally visually pleasing. Ordered my normal size, perfect fit. Typical FAST Zappos service.

So far I have only worn these to walk indoors. They have been comfortable and have good support. True to size.

My beautiful sport sneakers just arrived,.. right out the box I love them! I have plantar fascia and have been looking for a good supportive, comfortable shoe. I have been wearing these shoes with my orthotics around the house, no complaints or ouch. I am a golfer and walk the course.. and I needed a good shoe to keep me going, this is going to be perfect!

I have had these Antora 3 Botanist sitting in my cart since the moment I first saw them! I have several pairs of the Antora 2/3, but I always order a 9-Wide. I was so afraid that I was gonna get them and they weren't going to fit. I really dislike sending things back. Last week Merrell sent me an extra discount and it put me over the edge! I ordered a 1/2 size bigger to make up for the width. They came today and they fit absolutely perfectly! They're beautiful. They look even better in person! I hope they wear as good as they look and feel.

We took our Merrells to New Zealand. They were so comfortable on our many hikes and held up wonderfully. We will never buy from any other brand again!

I am using a wheelchair most of the day but this sole is great for standing to do transfers! Gives me confidence. Attractive and I LOVE an all black sneaker... dress it up or down!

They fit fine but when I saw them in person I can’t imagine wearing them with any of my clothes they just aren’t for me

I was disappointed because this is my 5th pair of Merrell tennis shoes. I ordered my usual size and they were at least 1 full size too large. Order at least one size smaller.

Just returned from a 2 week trip to the UK where these shows carried me for an average 25k steps a day on various terrains. Thumbs up for these shoes!

If you love florals- these are the shoes for you.
They are comfortable and supportive with good traction.
I wear them to walk my dog- and my dogs love them because I wear the shoes to take them for walks.
I have the hoka bondis- but i find the Merrill’s to feel better.
I liked them so much I ordered the rainbow color too!

I’ve been searching for a comfortable shoe that supports my peronus brevis tendinopathy, weak ankles, supination and fat pad atrophy on the ball of my foot. Such a combination of issues that finding a comfortable shoe that addresses all of these issues has been nearly impossible. I’ve ordered and returned at least a dozen pairs of orthopedic recommended shoes, but I finally found these! Even Hokas made my ankles turn with each step and they were very highly recommended.
I am a little skeptical about the colors matching my clothes but I love them!

Cute shoes but not much arch or support from the upper shoe - which I need. I am keeping the Merrell Alpine Botanist and returning the Antora 3 Botanist.

I'm a nurse who works 12 hour shifts and I went out on a whim trying this brand for the first time and I am so happy with my purchase! I am picky about shoes and will definitely be buying more! They are lightweight and I barely even notice that I've been on my feet for 12 hours after my shift ends. Also the colors are very appealing and I've gotten a ton of compliments on them and questions about what brand they are!
