- Love this shoe

The first hour I wore this shoe I knew it was love at first wear! Its very light but amazing sturdy. I must say makes me even more handsome than I was before trying them on, and that's tough to do. I am a ski patroller and bought my first pair of Merrell's last winter the "Innsbrucks" style so I could slip out of my ski boots and directly into them. I was so impressed with the quality that it was a no-brainer to get a pair of Merrell's for some summer fun. I am amazed at how fast they dry, having my cat like reflexes fail me two days ago I stepped into a foot of water. Figureing I now was going to squish for the rest of the day at every step, but no! They quit squishing in minutes and were amazing dry within an hour. Thank you Merrell shoes! Handsome Dan Bodamer Nubs Nob Ski Patrol

Now you have gone and done it .... you've made the "perfect" lightweight trail/walking shoe. These shoes fit like a glove from the first moment that I tried them own. They have a soft inner cushion to them without sacrificing the firm grip I prefer hiking. I even like wearing them around the house because of how comfortable they are. I am seriously considering ordering a second pair for work. I love these shoes and have encouraged my wife to order a pair.

- Really Nice New Shoe

These shoes fit well and are very comfortable. I wear a size 10 in other Merrell shoes, so I ordered the Proterra in a 10 even though some reviewers report that the shoe comes in at a half-size or even a full size larger than the numbered size. Mine were a perfect fit over summer-weight cotton-blend socks. They provide a good feel for the ground and enough support for hiking hills and steep trails; I have not yet tried them out rock scrambling but will do so soon on a nearby Vermont mountain with exposed granite. Their retro look, and the unobtrusive Castle Stone color, make for handsome footgear that can be worn in a casual setting -- meetings, going out to eat, shopping in town. The shoes breathe well in summer, and they're nice and light. I think the Proterra Sport will be a big hit for those who want to combine hiking with casual wear.

Excellent shoe, i'm on my feet all day and my feet feel great. I work in healthcare and like toe protection and fact they can be easily cleaned. And they're great on the trail too. They sized a little big but i've owned a pair of merrell's before ans expected this.
