Customer Reviews Merrell Antora 3 Botanist

Comfortable and good support. Purchased the celery and the colors were true to what showed online. Breathable fabric.

I have gotten 2 pairs of these. They both have had yellow stains on them. I decided to order a different one not the antora 3. I have 5 other different merrell and am just surprised that these are not the quality I expect from Merrill.

Merrell shoes leave me with happy feet after a long walk. I will only buy this brand.

I have always had good luck with Merrell shoes and these are no exception. I ordered these because I was looking for a walking shoe that didnt have white soles and didnt have a lot of different colors or fancy designs. I ordered these because I really liked the light blue and grey colors. The absolute bonus is how incredibly comfortable they are. I put these on and immediately knew they were going to work. I am a size 10 and these are true to size. They have a round toe bed, which I prefer. My feet are pretty finicky and these sneakers work! They simultaneously have just enough support and cushion. I put these on and started walking and could believe how comfortable they are! Immediately ordered a second pair!

Was looking for a good support shoes because I have fasciitis in my left foot, finally found a great walking sneaker. Just wish they made in all black I would have purchased another one in all black hopefully they make one in the color. But well diffidently recommend and try it out if you have the problem or just need comfortable shoes.

I returned these shoes because they felt too wide even when the laces were pulled as tightly as I could wear them. Merrell shoes typically fit me perfectly and comfortably right from the box. These did not. Wasn't a fan of the gray color I ordered and I could not figure out what the elastic band on top of the tongue was for. The elastic turned into a loop that stuck up uselessly and oddly when laces were tied. Also didn't understand what the velcro thing on the outside of the back of the heel was for. Strange shoes!

These shoes are wonderful! They are lightweight and very comfortable. I wear them on a walking path as well as woodland walks. My Merrells provide excellent support and comfort.

Super comfortable, sturdy shoe. So glad I purchased instead of my usual running shoe!

I was unable to do much walking for about 4 months due to chemo. My feet hurt a lot initially walking. These shoes give me the support I needed. Very comfortable. Now Im walking 5 miles a day in these.

Comfy shoe! I basically bought these shoes for the support & comfort paired with the great design. I work 8 hours a day on my feet and these shoes get me through each day with minimal pain. Yay!

After to speaking with a rep they advised me that their newer model Antora 3 was far more comfortable. Straight out of the box there was no break in period and fit comfortably true to size. The vibram sole was not too stiff yet firm. These are extremely comfortable, like wearing a pair of slippers. Great job Merrell.

I love the Antora as both a trail walking/hiking shoe and as every day sportswear, and the 3 is even better than the 2. Lighter, more comfortable, but still feels just sturdy and confident walking in wet and unsteady conditions. Also a great shoe to wear to the wet fields for kid's sports every weekend morning! I have a wider foot and the medium fits really well.

Very comfortable and durable but only 3 stars because they are extremely slippery when the sole is damp. For an outdoor shoe I find this very disappointing.

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

I had a size 7 of the previous version and they felt a tad small but were comfortable. I bought a 7.5 this year and they feel loose all over even with an insert.

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

I love this print, but they're 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, I'd try a whole size down, but instead, I've returned them, and will see if there are any Antora 2s left. (For comparison, I've owned a handful of Moab 2s, and a handful of Antora 2s, all of them size 9.5.)

I purchased these sneakers for everyday use. I always buy merrill but this time I was disappointed. When I first put them on I felt like the left foot was leaning in to the instep. I adjusted the laces a little and off I went. When I got home from my 3 mile walk in my neighborhood my left call was sore and the whole walk I felt like the arch support was lacking. I wore them a few times for running to the store they were ok. I foolishly wore them for an all day walk around the city. Needless to say both feet and calf's are sore, mostly the heel and outer foot. I will keep them to wear for short trips but will return to my hikers for longer walks and continue to look for a good everyday walking sneaker.

there isn't any insole. just rock hard base inside. returning immediately.

Super cute but sizing is off. Bought my usual merrel size and they were way too big and had to return.

I bought the Antora 3's 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've had many ultra comfy, long lasting Merrell's 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). I've 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.
