I figured that these would be a good quality hiking shoe & all around athletic shoe.The 1st time I put them on, I knew something was different. Not only are they the very best hiking shoe I've ever had, but they are THE BEST PAIR OF SHOES I'VE EVER WORN ! For a guy who's had foot surgery on the R side & Achilles Tendon surgery on L, the confidence they provide me regarding balance is exceeded only by the supreme comfort of this shoe. They are a cut above.

These are probably the most comfortable shoes I've worn. I've only had it for about a week, but they've exceeded my expectations. They fit perfectly, breathe nicely, and they seem to handle well in the rain. Great shoes!
Merrell's Reply:
That is awesome you find them to be the most comfortable shoes ever just after wearing them for one week. Make sure to keep us updated on how they do when you take them on different adventures. We do want to let you know these are not a waterproof shoe so in wet conditions they may take in water.

I believe this shoe was secretly molded for my foot! I put it on - and it seriously fit the grooves perfectly. Great for wider feet, and amazingly comfortable - lightweight too! This is the first time I've ever purchased Merrell products - but will not be the last. Very impressed. I am extremely happy with these shoes!

I am very pleased with this shoe. It's very comfortable and looks better than I expected (I let my wife pick the color). It is also sturdy enough to hike up Mt. Monadnock in NH while lugging our 1-year old daughter in a backpack carrier. No blisters, no foot pain, no falls! The trail was dry, so I didn't get to test out the traction on wet rocks. So far so good!

Awesome! That is great these were able to join in on the adventure through Mt. Monadnock in New Hampshire. Keep us posted on how they do through out the summer on other hikes. Thank you for sharing this great review on the Proterra Sport.

I had used Merrell hiking shoes but never their athletic shoes. I am overwhelmingly pleased. It has tons of support on the bottom but feels as if nothing is on top of your foot. I am in Kuwait and use them daily as my gym and running shoe. Ill never buy a different shoe for working out again.

We are so glad you find this to be a great shoe for working out. These are a great light hiking, multi-sport shoe that have cushion, are breathable, and lightweight. Thank you for this great review.
