Slip on for a quick errand.
Easy to put on.

Most suited for cold weather. Keeps the feet warm! Great to wear with jeans or leggings.
OK I BOUGHT THESE BOOTS LAST WINTER.I LIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS OF IDAHO LOTS AND LOTS OF SNOW! AND THESE BOOTS ARE THE GREATEST! THEY ALWAYS KEPT MY FEET WARM ALWAYS. I COULD SLIP THEM ON FOR RUNING OUTSIDE FOR SOMETHING I EVEN SNOWBLOWED WEARING THEM A FEW TIMES.THEY WOULD SLIP-ON LIKE A SLIPPER BUT WORKED LIKE A BOOT.THE ONLY THING THAT I DIDNT LIKE WAS THE COLOR IT WAS TO LIGHT AND STAINED EASLY (ALTHOUGH EVERYDAY DIRT AND SPOTS WOULD CLEAN EASLY), SO THIS YEAR I AM ORDERING A DARK PAIR. PS. THEY DO FIT ROOMY WHICH WORKS PERFECT IF YOU WEAR THICK SOCKS.
from Pond Inlet, Nunavut, Canada-artic circle on 5/5/2008
Within the first few days of wearing the boots, four people asked me about them and one of those four actually ordered a pair from onlineshoes.com. Living in the high arctic in Pond Inlet, Nunavut, Canada -- walking is the main form of transportation up here and these boots have made my daily mile walk to and from work a real pleasure! I most highly recommend these boots.
This shoe runs nearly a full size large. I'm an 8.5-9. Got the 8.5 since some reviews were stating that they run a bit large. Usually if that is the case, the 8.5 will be perfect since I can wear a 9 as well. The 8.5 was HUGE. I got the size 8 (I'm NEVER an 8) and they fit me with some room to spare. They are warm but they are very wide and make your feet look big. Because of the shape and fit of the shoe, the heel slides up and down when walking (it is a wide/loosefitting shoe and remember I'm in a full size down from normal and I don't have narrow feet). So, I'm kind of on the fence about these. I think ultimately I wouldn't recommend them.

Excellent for walking, even through blankets of snow. Traction is great and ice is not a problem.
from Gobles,Michigan on 2/9/2008
Easy to slip into now that they're broke in. Warm to be outside in. Nice looking. I have a wide foot with a high instep so it was a little difficult at first to get them on. Once I stretched and flexed them it became easier each time. They are comfortable now.

Nice look. Nice feel. Nice and warm. Nice and lightweight. Did I mention nice?Must own to appreciate!
from bellingham wa on 1/28/2008
I love the look of this shoe and the boots in the same style. Unfortunately, I haven't experienced the same kind of comfort I've come to expect from Merrell's. Maybe it's just me, but it doesn't feel like there is enough cushion on the sole of the foot, I feel pretty close to the ground. It feels particularly un-cushy on the ball of the foot.
They look cozy but they're not! I've thought about insoles, but I don't know if it will fix it. I don't understand why they don't have the same cushy shock absorption other Merrell's do.

These boots are extremely comforatble. I had difficulty getting the right size, but I'm glad I got them. Super warm too!
from Illinois on 1/27/2008
I love these boots. I was looking for something that would keep my feet warm in the winter since I am in the cold often for my job. They are not only warm but they are very comfortable, easy to wear, and nice looking.
from Spokane, WA on 1/11/2008
Great shoe for slopping through snow and slush- but not for deep snow because they are a low boot. Being shorter than a traditional boot does make it very easy to slip on and off. Waterproof is an enormous plus for living in the pacific northwest.
I live in the midwest where the weather is often cold or sloppy during winter months. This boot is perfect for every day wear! [...] This is not the first purchase for me and I sing the praises of Online Shoes to my friends and family all the time.
from Massachussetts on 1/10/2008
this shoe is fun to look at . Also very cozy and dry.
The only problem is that it's a bit difficult to get into.
A shoe horn may be in order.
from Bolingbrook il on 1/9/2008
wore it walking playing and having fun in them.
from Chicago, IL on 1/9/2008
Merrell shoes are very well made and I have never found one pair that didn't fit or wear exceptionally well.
The only thing that would have made it better would have been to add about another inch to the top to make it just a tad higher.
from Kent, OH on 1/7/2008
This is one of the warmest and most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. LOVE THEM!
from new york state on 1/5/2008
The toe box was so round and flat that I looked like a clown. I was very disappointed. I LOVE, LOVE Merrell shoes for their fit, comfort and look. I exchanged these for another style of Merrell's that were much more graceful in the toe......
from Zion Illinois on 1/4/2008
Use the shoe boot mostly for going to work. Wished I had bought the taller one for the snow we recently got in Illinois.
from Boston, MA on 1/4/2008
Really cute but comfortable bootie....great for the winter blues.
from Cape Cod MA on 1/1/2008
I bought these boots to keep warm on an upcoming trip to Berlin. I haven't taken them off! They are so comfortable that I even wear them around the house like slippers! We have had some really sloppy weather here in the Northeast and the sole has kept my feet nice and dry and warm. They are great for walking too. There was no break in period - they were comfortable from the first time I put them on. They do seem to run a tad big - but are fine with heavy socks. I like them so much that I want to get the same boot in other colors.

Wear them everywhere I can. Very comfy and cozy
from Connecticut on 12/3/2007
These little boots are adorable, unfortunately I could not get my feet into them. I have a high arch and sat there fighting with them until my husband said 'Wow, imagine doing that with cold hands'. That was enough, they have to be returned.
from Houston, TX on 11/27/2007
I spend a lot of time outside and I was looking for a shoe that would keep my feet warm - this is the shoe! I love this shoe, it's just like the picture, it's warm and comfortable and they were easy to wear the first time. I haven't had to clean them yet so don't know how that will hold up, you could pre-spray them with a protector if you plan on stomping around in the dirt with them - that's what i will use them for.
from Germany on 11/21/2007
Love this shoe! It has a very roomy fit, though, it's a little too long and a little too wide. It does not fit-like-a-glove like most Merrell shoes, but it is still one of my most favorite shoes...just slip on and go!
from Pittsburgh, PA on 8/29/2007
I really like the Merrell Spirit Tibet Low boot. I was looking for a great boot for around campus for the winter weather, but not looking for a boot that looks like Im ready for a back country hike. This boot has it all. Very comfortable and easy to wear all day every day.
