Customer Reviews Merrell Antora 3 Botanist

I have worn Antoras for years now and have been very happy with them. I took away one star, because the fit is not quite the same (they are bigger, seemingly by about a half size, than my other pairs). I like the styling, though and always look forward to the new series.

I always wear a 10 in Merrells, bought these in a 10, And they are slipping off my heel. I did wear them outdoors thinking they fit fine , so now cannot return them. I gave them to a loved one. I do think these are super cute so may get another pair in 91/2

OK on shorter hikes less than 18 Miles Longer became uncomfortable

preferred the antora 2 .. front of this too wide for me .. def not the same fit and feel

Great walking shoe. Once I got the right inner sole they fit like a glove

These tennies definitely run big! However, they said that when ordered. I ordered 1-2 size smaller-perfect. I love them! I get compliments everywhere I go! They are comfortable and Merrell shoes so how can you go wrong! I save them for special occasions. I dont want to get them dirty or wear them out! They have goo traction.

Shoes are great. They are very light and I love that since I walk all day at work. The only thing I didn't like is that I walked over water and shoes are slippery!! That's why I give only 4 stars

I have two pairs of these i work at hospital in lab and Im standing all day long. Only shoes that dont make my feet hurt

This is my 4th pair of Antoras but the sizing off. It seems like a whole size larger than my previous other 3 pair. Ive returned them and ordered a full size down. I really like the print so Im hoping the smaller ones fit better.

Honestly, I bought these because they were so cute. I didnt plan on hitting the trails in them, but Im glad I did! They fit even better than I expected. I was never able to wear the Moab because the arch didnt feel right. So I didnt expect them to feel so good! I went on a nice muddy hike and they handled it well. I am a big fan now!

there isnt any insole. just rock hard base inside. returning immediately.

The internet suggested these shoes to me. I loved the botanical print, when I received them I liked the way they felt. They are my first Merrills.

I love these shoes for comfort and grip. I wear them for my urban hikes. I wore out my last pair of Anita 3 the same way! Im taking these to Europe next month and am counting on their support.

These shoes needed no break in They were comfortable the first time I wore them . Bought another pair. Love them!

I really like these shoes. They will be a lot of fun this summer. They are not as supportive as my other Merrell shoes (Siren) this the 4 stars.) they are not hiking shoes so will be worn for pleasure. They are comfortable enough.

I love these sneakers!! Theyre so pretty that they wont be used for hiking. The sneakers and hiking boots I own are all Merrill. Such comfy shoes with a wider toe area so you have freedom to move!

Comfortable shoe but oyster is waaay darker than the photos. I thought I was getting a cream/white shoe but its more like a very light brown/beige

I ordered at least a dozen different trail and hiking shoes across different brands before settling on the Antora 3. Without time to break them in before leaving on my trip, I hoped they would not ruin my feet and my hiking plans. I also brought a pair of Hoka trail shoes just in case. I started with the Hokas in Sedona and the Grand Canyon. They were great to start but by the end of the day, they felt a little tight. I moved on to the Antoras and never went back. Hiked several trails in Arches, Canyonlands, Corona Arch in Moab, Bryce, and Zion. No breaking in required. So comfortable on my bunioned feet. Held their ground on all different types of terrain. I didnt hike in any wet conditions so cant comment on that. But these were perfect for my moderate and strenuous rated hikes. I will continue to wear these on every day walks back home.

These just came today and they are on their way back already. They are not the Antora threes of even a few months ago. We start with they are very slimily made no lateral support whatsoever and just walking around on my wood floors I could feel the tread of the soul coming through. Not at all like my old ones where I felt like the streets have been repaved with memory foam. Also, the print is nothing as colorful as what shown, and if you hold sneaker up to the light iyou can see through it!!! I sincerely hope that this is a one off and this is not how Merrill intends to continue to produce their Antora threes.

I bought the Antora 3s recently and was pretty let down by the lack of arch support. I have very high arches and am dealing with pain from a talus fracture almost a year ago and could not wear these shoes for more than 30 minutes. I would compare the arch support to that of Vans, which are essentially completely flat shoes. Very appealing looking shoes and seemed to be decent quality but the lack of arch support was very disappointing.

I love this print, but theyre 3/4 longer than all of my Antora 2s in the same size! Sooner or later, that extra length at the toe would trip me. If I were to re-order, Id try a whole size down, but instead, Ive returned them, and will see if there are any Antora 2s left. (For comparison, Ive owned a handful of Moab 2s, and a handful of Antora 2s, all of them size 9.5.)

Ive had many ultra comfy, long lasting Merrells over my life, but that trend seems to have stopped with these shoes. They are super cute and have nice quality uppers, hence the two stars. They were comfy and cushioned in my test walk around the house. However every single time I walk more than one mile in them I regret having worn them. They cause pain in my arches, toes, and outer edge of my foot. They cause my ankle to rotate inward in a weird way when I step. They are unwearable at this point (2 months after purchase). Ive never had this experience with any shoes, Merrell or other. The worst part is that Merrell takes no accountability for their change in quality and will only offer a discount on a new pair of shoes. No thanks.

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 Im 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.
