One of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I would buy this shoe from Merrel again. The first time I put the shoe on, it felt like it was already broken in. Since I live near the Rocky Mountains, I use it for hiking, walking and running. Great traction and my feet never hurt. I recommend highly. Get it now!!!

I have worn the Chameleon II's for years and found out they were going faze them out to replace them with these. So, I tried them, not good. Most uncomfortable shoes I have ever had.

I love Merrell's, but all the others are waterproof and hot in the warmer months. This is perfect - worn with shorts, jeans, pants, everything. So comfortable and cooler because my feet can breathe! I can put them on without worrying about tying them too, which is perfect for me. I am a volunteer firefighter and don't have time to tie shoes when a call comes in in the middle of the night. Highly recommend these shoes.

Puts spring in my step.
By The Sand ManVerified Reviewer from Denison, TX on 8/11/2008

Feels too narrow

The Merrell Chameleons make my day. I have the Chameleon Wrap, , the Chameleon II Travel and just received the Chameleon II Stretch all of which are great fit.
The Chameleon Hex felt a half size too long and narrow. I have returned them for exchange, not return.
With ongoing plantar faciatus, I tried shots and then Merrells. The Merrells make my feet feel great. I wear a pair every day. I also have the Throttle Moc , thongs and Jungle but the Chameleons are tops.
Might say I have stock in Merrell.

A friend recommended I give the Chameleon Hex a try. It just so happens that we share the same size shoe and after wearing his for 5 minutes, I was sold. I ordered a pair that very day.

So far so good - a half size too big; though I hear with slip-ons vs. tie you need to drop a half size (now I know).

My teenage son uses this shoe for school and weekend activities with friends. His foot is wide, but I order this in the regular width. These Merrell shoes last an entire school year and go into at least half of the next school year. So, I consider them a bargain. They do not wear down easily at all. Very, very durable.
