When is Merrell going to take the advice of it's customers and stick with a design that worked? Chameleon Stretch IIs were the best. Chameleon Stretch 3 and 4 are poorly designed.
Thanks for the review. We will pass your request to out Product Development Team.
I put about 600 miles of mountain hiking and jogging on a pair of these last year. The bottoms are now nearly smooth and the stiffness in the arch is gone, but I wear them anyway because they are so comfortable/responsive - I'm on line now to buy another pair.
We are happy to hear you are back for more! Thank you for getting outside and taking these on many adventures.

An excellent shoe so far on short hikes. We'll have to see how they hold up during a couple weeks on the Appalachian trail. Hopefully I still feel the same as I do now about them after the hike. That's when I can deliver a true review.
Thank you so much for this review. These are great for light, day hikes and with the stretch they offer a secure fit. Keep us updated on their performance.

They are a combination of my tennis shoes and my hiking boots.
I just bought my 4th pair of Chameleon 4's. I have never had a problem with them. They are perfect for work. I am a contractor working in the middle east. These shoes are perfect for the desert terrain. They keep my feet dry and I never loose my footing. I am on my feet all day. These shoes give me constant comfort and support all day. I have been buying new merrills about every 6 months. I find that to be the life limit of the chameleon 4's. I imagine these shoes would last longer if used for their intended purpose (ie: hiking), I put my shoes through some serious punishment. Over all perfect shoe for me.
With the bungee lacing system they will fit like a glove and snug to your feet. We are so thrilled you are putting them to work and they are perfect for you. Thank you for sharing this outstanding review.
