Bought these a couple months ago, so this is an honest review. I've been wearing Merrell shoes for almost 30 years. All the ones I have now, except these, are size 15. I had to return these and get a 14. THEY RUN LARGE!! However... these are one of the most comfortable pairs of Merrell shoes I've ever worn! If you're looking for cushion, look elsewhere! These have very little. BUT... they make you feel connected to the Earth like no other shoes I have. The sole, itself, acts to cushion the foot, but still allows you to feel every contour of the ground. The tread is perfect for any outdoor activity, albeit tends to hold dirt within. That is the only "con". Be sure to bang your feet well before going indoors. I've even found them to be a bit waterproof! I accidentally stepped in a lake, immediately pulled my foot out and the water beaded right off! It may not be lined, but the suede is treated well! BUY THIS SHOE! You won't be sorry!

I use these as my work shoes in the hospital. Durable suede upper. Comfortable to stand in for 12 hr shifts. The grip design was meant for outside so it's not the best on slick floors, but that's no fault of Merrell. Good shoes.

I bought a size 10, which I have worn all my life. The shoes are too big in width and length by at least a half size. With medium thickness Socks on the shoes fit OK, but they are supposed to be "natural" shoes and worn w/o Socks. I do like the look and quality of the shoes.

Nice shoe. Comfortable. Could be a b i t wider in the toe box.

Very comfortable in a very basic way. No thick padding that can make your feet sweat. I’m planning to wear them in place of my spikeless golf shoes. The shoes have an aggressive sole for traction.

So comfortable that I forget I'm wearing them! The wide toe box is fantastic and they have the grip to take you anywhere that you care to go!

Merrell shoes are one of few shoes that I can wear right out of the box!!

I really like these shoes. I like the minimalist shoe and think that this has an inspired minimalist feel. I have several pairs of minimalist shoes but I don't know if I would call these totally one. It has the wider toe box, they have a touch more cushion than my other minimalist shoes. I'm no expert but I will say that I really like the style and feel. So far they have been great but I have only used them as causal shoes for work. I'll test them out later as the weather warms.

At first, AWESOME shoes! Fit great, feel great, good traction and felt like they would be great hiking shoes! Well, that is until you go hiking in them and the just fall apart. Literally the bottom just started falling off. The trash was the only place they deserved to go. 2 stars for initial feelings of a great shoe. Minus 3 stars because they fell apart.

4th pair of Merrells I've owned since 2020. Fits my feet well with support with a natural feel to them. Well recommended for walking and trail exploring.

I am always on the lookout for zero-drop shoes that will last. I specifically wanted a pair of durable shoes to use while teaching Tai Chi and Kung Fu. I had been watching these shoes for quite a while, and it just so happened that they went on sale shortly after the soles of my current shoes had broken and the canvas uppers had developed a hole right above the break. The shoes look much better than I expected and I find myself wearing them as casual shoes as well. If the soles holds up I am looking forward to wearing them for years.
I was very happily surprised by the sleek design of these shoes and anticipate wearing them on some of the easier trails, where the surface isn't too rough. That's because I'm not sure how durable the soles will be -- they look a bit "soft." On a recent trip to Big Bend NP, e.g., I left these behind and brought instead a pair of Jungle Mocs, knowing the latter have a "can take it" sole.

Not a good shoe. Size is not correct. Sole is very thin.
