I have been very satisfied with these shoes from the very beginning. They are lightweight for trekking boots, very comfortable, even though I have wide feet and was wondering if they would be comfortable – but from first use it was great. The stitching and gluing are flawless. The sole is stiff on the outside but springy inside, so my feet don't get tired. The tread provides excellent grip (on wet ice they naturally slip, but that's normal), no problem on sharp or small rocks, walking on asphalt or gravel is no trouble at all. They do not soak through. The foot is very stable even without a high, stiff upper. They are uninsulated, as intended – not for winter, rather for spring, at temperatures around 0–10°C, and while walking I felt no discomfort. I definitely recommend this model. I only wish there was a greater choice of colors—this is my only wish for the future.

The EVA sole made of lightweight foam is characterized by its flexibility and good shock absorption properties. It reduces foot fatigue, especially when wearing shoes for long periods of time. It adjusts to the shape of the foot, providing support and comfort for the wearer.
Gore-Tex is a thin membrane made of polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), which features a microporous structure. Its structure makes it highly water- and wind-resistant, as well as breathable. The membrane's pores are 700 times larger than a molecule of water vapor, which allows it to efficiently wick moisture to the outside. Gore-Tex is widely used in the production of outdoor clothing and footwear.
Cleansport NXT is a technology that uses microorganisms to neutralize odors by naturally breaking down organic matter. Beneficial microorganisms are permanently fused to the fibers of the materials, where, when they come into contact with the organic material (sweat), they activate and produce enzymes that fight the bacteria responsible for the odor. This ecological process ensures a feeling of freshness and comfort even during the most intense activities.

I bought them blindly – I needed them urgently because I was leaving the next day. The shoes are relatively light for trekking shoes, comfortable, and carefully stitched. Over 5 days, I covered about 60 kilometers in them through snow, slush, sleet, and a mix of all that with road salt. They never got soaked, the grip is very good, and the foot support – for low-cut shoes – is very decent, even at -13, -15 degrees Celsius. The thermal insulation from the ground was sufficient so my feet didn't freeze. So far, I've been walking in Terrex shoes during winter in the city, but these Merrells are a class better at a similar price. I recommend them.
