I love this shoe i bought them about a week ago. I have very hard to fit feet as one foot is a size smaller than the other foot.but they fit very well. they run to me a bit longer as i normally wear a 8 but had to get a 7 1/2. but that is ok . they make my feet feel good an that makes me feel good. a very nice snug fit, they have a nice look and i would most diffenently buy another pr. never even heard of merrelle ,till my trip to nashville ind. i saw them the style caught my eye, so of course i had to try them on an i fell in love with them. not much else to say . I LOVE THE SHOE

Very light weight and comfortable. Have only had for a few weeks, but seem to be great for trail walking. Also comfortable to wear to work.

I had tried these shoes on at a store, so I knew they would fit, as I have a difficult foot to fit. I haven't tried them yet on a rough trail, but on unchallenging walking trails they have been very comfortable - no blisters, and no issues with the bad spot on the bottom of one foot. They are good and "sticky" - one thing I was looking for, and are also light on the foot and will do well in this hot climate. They have so far met all my criteria.

These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever had. I have had good walking/sports shoes up to now, but none compare to these.
