Not up to standard
Bought these expecting the flagship shoe to be top notch and last me for years. There is something wrong in either the design or the production line or both !
Anyway, i ordered a UK 11 which ALWAYS fits me when it comes to Merrells (which i have been wearing for probably 20 years now). They were way too small, so i exchanged them for a 12 which fitted properly (these are the first 'size 12' shoes i have ever bought).
After wearing them for maybe 15 miles or so the right show developed a squeak towards the back of the sole somewhere - it was hard to pinpoint. It started quite faint, then got louder til it was quite distracting. It seemed to come and go as well. After maybe another 5 miles of wear the left shoe also developed the same squeak. Both squeaks were intermittent - sometimes both shoes, sometimes the right shoe, sometimes the left shoe, and - just occasionally - neither shoe. But it would always come back. I'm guessing there is some moisture getting between two surfaces that rub....
I thought i would simply have to put up with this, but then after a long walk in the mountains the back of the right heel became extremely uncomfortable, and upon closer inspection it looked like the interior support had slipped within the wall of the shoe. This was clearly not right, so i took them back to the retailer, who had them for a couple of days to inspect and offered me a refund or a new pair. Since they told me they had not had any other reports of issues, i decided on a new pair.
Well with this new pair - after about 15-20 miles of use - the right shoe has started to squeak again. Tbh, I wish i had taken that refund now.
Unlike other reviewers, i have not had any leaks (yet!).
It's a shame really, because i found them extremely comfortable, but i could not recommend them due to the issues i have had with 2 pairs. Look elsewhere in the Merrell range.

Disappointed Returning Merrell Chameleon Gore tex Customer
I have owned 2 pairs of Merrell Chameleon's before and they have been outstanding in a range of conditions. Model J39921with Gortex Size 11. (I am normally a size 10 in other shoes but go for 11 (Uk) with my Merrells)
Recently purchased the latest Chameleon 7 Gortex only to find that they have changed the width (narrower) and shape of the sole and footbed!!! Very irritating since the new ones don't fit - returned them and got my money back.
Why o why has Merrell decided to change the basic size and shape of the fit - lost me as a serial Merrell buyer. Went into John Lewis to try on alternatives and they said many other customers had experienced the same.
In summary if you were a happy and loyal Chameleon customer in the past - you can't assume the new version will fit!! Its a different hiking shoe!

Right shoe not waterproof on toe area
Bought these shoes based on shop advise wish I'd never listened for cost should be waterproof and clearly there not as mentioned in other reviews seems that my right shoe also let water in somehow. My sock was always wet not soaked but damp on top near toes. All I was doing was walking through fields as well.

Really Disappointed
Bought these shoes in June as I was told they had Gore-Tex lining and would be waterproof. Wore them for walking the coastal path in Fife. Due to the hot summer they were never really tested but last week, on the first wet day we had, I went for a walk and couldn't believe that my right foot was soaked through when I got back after only 45 mins and 4 km. I also noticed that like the other reviewer, the right shoe had begun to squeak.
I am so disappointed as they are really comfortable and are my third Merrell shoe. Gutted to say the least. My wife and I both bought the same shoe but hers are fine.
