Bought these when my previous shoe choices (Chamelion & Moab Ventillator) weren't available in my size. I prefer the colors and styles of the others, but these are extremely comfortable and better ventillated. I've come to appreciate the draw string lace feature, too.

I love the shoe

I usually wear a size 7, but in this shoe I took a 7.5, which really did feel great. I have a hard time finding shoes to fit me. This is the second Merrel Shoe that I have purchased. I love the first pair that I bought too. I will buy more in the future

My husband is on his 5th pair!

I have overpronation and therefore require a fairly supportive shoe. Well, needless to say, I found that shoe. these are not only supportive, but are also comfortable. They seem pretty rugged and have good traction for running. I wouldn't recommend them in muddy conditions if you wanted to be able to clean them easily though, as they have small openings on the bottom, but if your not worried about keeping them clean, they're great for any conditions. They tend to be a little on the warm side, but not to bad. My next shoes will most definitely be made by Merrell.

I ordered my show size, 10, but the show was too small. So I ordered a 10.5 and still had no luck. I finally ordered an 11 and they fit great. I own several other styles of Merrell shoes and they all fit true to size (10=10).
One I got the right size, they were great!

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The most frustrating aspect of this shoe is the lace up button. I guess you are supposed to know how to make it work. No instructions on it. When you squeeze the button it is difficult to adjust. Wish they would offer it without the stupid thin string laces. Reminds me of the velcro shoes worn by senior citizens.

Great all-rounder !

Great all-purpose trainer, very light, roomy fit, confidence-inspiring traction and support.

The one-hand tie-up is excellent !

Highly recommended.

Great in the gym (not every one has them) on the treadmills, great outside on the pavement. In the past I have had Merrells with the stretchy laces, I think these shoes would benefit from those. I have not used these shoes to run on trails, however I expect they would be great there as well. This is my third pair and all are consistent in sizing and support.
