Review for model:

I ordered size 43.5 instead of my usual 43, but they turned out to be so small that even with a thin sock and insole they are impossible to put on. Now I wear them without insoles. They look quite good, although they have their flaws. Merrell - I won't return to this brand.

Review for model:

The shoes are exceptionally lightweight, but they are one, or even one and a half sizes smaller. They do not provide water resistance, so they are only suitable for short walks with the dog. I removed the insole to eliminate the height difference between the heel and the toes. I value them very much for their comfort, but their poor water resistance reduces their practicality.

Review for model:

I bought these shoes, at first they seemed ordinary, but I was quickly very disappointed. After wearing them for the first time, after 20 minutes my socks were soaked. The shoes don't let any air through at all; I feel like I'm wearing plastic bags on my feet. 500 PLN wasted. I definitely do not recommend them, these shoes can really harm your feet!

Review for model:

The shoes run much smaller – usually wearing size 43 (trainers, boots), here I barely managed to fit into them. I should have chosen a bigger size, maybe even one and a half sizes up. Other than that, overall I'm satisfied with their appearance and quality.

The shoes are generally nice and comfortable, but the description claiming they are waterproof is a disaster—after an hour in light snow, it feels like an aquarium inside. If you are looking for waterproof shoes, this is not a good choice.

Review for model:

I think these shoes are also extremely comfortable. However, mine were not waterproof at all from the very beginning! I also believe that the sole does not provide adequate grip.

I think I'm unlucky, because after briefly getting wet, the shoes – especially the toes – get completely soaked. The shoes/the membrane sewn into the shoe draws in water like a wick, causing the inside to become completely wet, almost up to the heel. If this is a factory defect and doesn't affect other pairs, then the shoes are very good. Incredibly light and comfortable, the corrective insole inside is very good and helps keep the foot from collapsing inward, which is an issue for me.

The shoes are nice but the sizing on the website does not correspond at all with the size on the shoe. A size 42 should have a 27 cm insole, but on the shoe it is 26.5 cm. So this is a mistake that is a bit annoying and is not checked when shipping the shoes.

I agree about the comfort and lightness, but in my opinion, they have a major flaw: the sole tread wears out far too quickly. With moderate activity, the shoes have been put through real tests in all four seasons and in all possible conditions. Despite my fondness for the footwear, I will choose other, much more durable models.

Very good lightweight shoes. They look like sneakers, so they're a bit casual. And that's an advantage, they don't stand out, which is important to me. Comfortable and light, and waterproof as well.

Merrell is a brand whose shoes I've been buying for years, the one I trust, and whose shoes I simply like, although they are not the cheapest. I bought this model as a typical 'for the forest' pair. First impressions after walking a few kilometers are very positive. I was curious about this ballistic mesh and their waterproofness. And I was not disappointed. They are light and very comfortable - like slippers. At the same time, they are very warm but not excessively so - here the membrane does its job and doesn't let feet get sweaty. Interesting design and color scheme. All in all, deserves a 5. I recommend!

The shoes are great, super comfortable, they look solid, they breathe, your feet don't get hot or sweaty, and after a long hike your feet don't feel tired. The membrane works; I haven't tested them in the mountains yet, but in the rain around the city and in the woods, they work perfectly. As for sizing, every brand has some differences: I have several pairs of Merrell shoes and always buy the same size and they always fit, which was also true in this case. It's best to buy based on foot length (trace your foot on a sheet of paper and measure it). I have wide feet with a high instep and these shoes fit perfectly, they don't pinch anywhere, they're not tight. At the beginning they rustled a little strangely, but the sound quickly disappeared. Delivery was as usual very fast, great purchase.

Although I ordered shoes half a size larger than usual, they turned out to be too small. I expected them to be comfortable and to have a proper amount of space, but unfortunately that was not the case. Please pay attention to this issue.

Perfectly fitted. Lightweight, comfortable. This is my second pair from this company, so I bought them without hesitation. Time will tell how durable they will be. The previous pair has been heavily used for 4 years and only the heels have worn out :-) I recommend them.

These are my second pair of shoes from this company and once again I am not disappointed :) The size fits perfectly and they are very light, comfortable, and well-made ;) The color is also nice. I recommend them!
