This shoe is "out of the box" comfortable. I wore the shoes for a full day of sightseeing and deep sea fishing... not one complaint!
Pulling the shoe on and taking the it off proved to be somewhat challenging.
Overall I give this shoe two big thumbs up!

I was excited when I fist saw the shoes, but dissapointed that they did not fit. I rated them 3 stars because I did not get to wear them since I sent them back, so the 3 stars are ment to show I have a neutral oppinion of them. I have bought Merrell shoes for years, and am a great fan of the shoes, but they must have changed thier fit within the last 2yrs. The shoes were too short in length; felt about a half size too small. Thery were also very wide for a women's shoe. When I used the elastic cord to tighten them, a feature I love on an older pair of Merrells I own, the shoe still remained loose. I also felt the cord was too long once tightened. Dispite the fact the shoes didn't fit, I liked the overall appearance, they seemed they would hold up fairly well, and I liked the easy slip-on design. Although I cannot recomend them with any personal wear experiance, I would not recomend against them. If you fit Merrel's now, or have a slightly wider foot, I would deffinatly try them.

This shoe is the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. I get bad leg pains when on my feet a long time and I have not experienced any pain since wearing these shoes.

My husband and I bought the Chameleon II by Merrell to hike Half Dome in Yosemite. The hike took 13 hours, and our feet never hurt once. Since then, we both have multiple pairs of the Chameleon because they fit so well, and they are truly the most comfortable shoe we've ever purchased. We've had our first pair for several years, which we wear often, and they still look in great shape- they're worth every penny. We love the fact that there are no laces- you just slip in and pull the band. I love the style, too, because it is a hiking shoe that doesn't look so masculine. Great shoe!

I wear flip flops year round, but now that I have bought these I cannot seem to take them off... even now that summer is here and flip flops ARE appropriate!
They are one of the most comfortable and versatile shoes out there!
from Nantucket, MA on 5/13/2008
I have 2 pairs of this shoe, one for everyday and one for work. I have orthotics that I insert and I have found this is one of the best shoes for that because it comes up high enough around my heel so I don't step out of the shoe like I do with most others. This shoe is extremely comfortable, durable and excellent for proper foot alignment which aides total body alignment. I also like the way it looks, it has the cinch lace which adds to it's secure feeling. I can't think of a negative aspect to this shoe, my only hope is that they never discontinue it as that would be a huge loss. I strongly recommend this shoe for anyone who is active and requires good support.

The Gore Tex keeps me dry in the puddles.
from Oconomowoc, WI on 3/21/2008
These are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned! They are durable and water resistant while being sporty. Look great with jeans! The slip on feature was what I was really looking for in an all weather shoe, and I'm not disappointed with my choice at all. They are easy on & easy off so you can kick them off at the door after traipsing through the mucky snow & sticky gravel or mud. I bought them for a trip to Colorado but couldn't wait to slip them on & I've found many excuses to wear them again and again even though I'd planned to save them. You have to break them in, right?! (Actually, I haven't felt that these shoes even need "breaking in" because the gel-like cuff around the ankle which makes them easy on and easy off is so extremely comfortable and form fitting that they came out of the box "broken in".) Great shoe - I'd definitely buy another pair!
from Pound Ridge, New York on 3/11/2008
This is my second pair of Merrell Chameleons. They are sturdy, but look 'oh so cool' for everyday use. I can wear them for a hike in the morning and then wear them to the movies in the evening with a pair of jeans and they still look great.
from Chicago on 2/26/2008
My first pair was for use as an everyday alternative to a gym shoe. I loved the idea that it didn't need tying, like so many of my kids shoes.
The shoes are comfy right out of the box, lightweight and wear well.
My second pair was purchased about a year later, as the soles were starting to wear, and I needed a good walking shoe for a tour of China. From keeping my feet warm in the cold weather of Chicago to breathing in the heat of China, the shoes did not disappoint! Now I'm on my third pair, I'm glad Merrell is still making them 3+ years later.
from heart of Texas on 1/30/2008
As my feet have aged, it's been hard to find comfortabe shoes for hiking and long walks, but these are working out great.
from Southern Indiana on 1/28/2008
When I first got these I wasn't too sure about them. But the more I wear them, the better they get! It's almost like they adjust to your feet and how you walk. They just keep getting more comfortable! I'm thinking of getting more in different colors. The only thing I've found wrong so far is that the slide locks on the laces stick.
from Albany, Ga on 1/27/2008
The best thing for bad feet! They helped after foot surgery.
from Brush, CO on 1/13/2008
Wear as an every day shoe, for both my fiancee and myself, very comfortable.
from nj on 1/13/2008
This is a very nice for everyday wear, it is warm and durable. I wear it almost 300 days a year.
from Pittsburgh, PA on 1/9/2008
Great product. If they added a model with Gore-Tex and water resistance, I'd like them even better.
from Raleigh NC on 1/4/2008
This shoe is ultra comfortable, durable, and good looking. I use this shoe for day hikes and even daily wear around the yard. This would be my third pair of these shoes. My first worn out pair works awesome for lawn work.
from sounthern Indiana on 1/2/2008
This seems to be an excellent hiking shoe for the trail or casual wear. I bought these for my wife as a gift. The size was dead on. The shoe appears to have excellent traction and is extremely comfortable, requiring very little break in.
from New Jersey on 12/17/2007
Bought these to wear as casual winter shoes but I'll be wearing them all year round. For a slip on shoe they stay put really well. Feels like its a little wide but for a casual shoe that adds to the comfort. I have several different styles of merrell shoes. They are not a shoe that requires "breaking in". They are great from the first time out of the box.
from Indianapolis, IN on 12/6/2007
I find these shoes to be great for walking. They are so comfortable and your feet never get tired. The inside sole is a great comfort. These shoes were first chosen from an earlier retailer who went out of business and I have never looked back. Reliable shoes for your money.
from Tennessee on 11/14/2007
This has got to be the most versatile and comfortable shoe I have ever worn. The greastest thing is that they can be worn causually, or for blazing a trail! take your pick. We have but one set of feet in this life time, so take care of the them now!
from Chesapeak, VA on 10/31/2007
The day after I got my first pair I was messing around a beaver dam and next thing I knew I was up to mid-calf in mud. I was so bummed because I thought I ruined them. I went home sprayed them off with the hose and never lost a beat! Very comfortable and stylish. These were my 3rd of 15 pair of Merrill.
from KENTUCKY on 10/9/2007
MOST COMFORTABLE SHOE I HAVE EVER OWNED. OWN 5 PAIRS.
THIS SHOE IS SO COMFORTABLE I CROSS TRAIN IN IT. DEFINITELY
A SHOE FOR ALL OCCASIONS.
from Ithaca,ny on 10/4/2007
Besides being a great outdoor shoe, this is for me the ultimate work shoe. I already purchased my second pair. I'm on my feet all day and make on average 12 000 steps on an eight hour workday. These shoes never let me down. They are so comfortable and stable, and they look great. merell is my preffered shoe brand anyway, but this is my all-time favorite.
from East Lyme, CT on 9/14/2007
I love most merrel shoes that I wear - especially chameleons. Only once had a problem when one of the slide lock things on the shoe lace broke and I could not tighten the laces.
from Sioux Falls, SD on 8/21/2007
these are the most comfortable shoes that i have owned so far.
from Hawaii on 8/20/2007
Great shoe! Super comfortable .
I wear these shoes on a daily basis in Iraq where it has been as hot as 125+ degrees. I am on my feet 12 hours a day, 7 days a week and these shoes do not dissapoint. I have 3 pair that I rotate and all are consistently comfortable. I do reccommend air wicking socks, but again, I am dealing with heat extremes. If and when I wear these out I plan to purchase another pair

I have six pairs which I rotate. I have probably owned 30 all together. There is no other shoe like it, especially for baby boomers who are beginning to suffer from arthritis. Everyone in our big family wears them now and when we go out together people notice that we are all wearing the same shoes. We tell them it's because they are the BEST!
from Columbus, Ohio on 8/2/2007
I like to have a stylish shoe to tromp around in the snow - no huge snowboots for me, thanks. These fit well, are super-comfortable, look great, and are wonderful in the snow. Yay Merrell for putting out awesome cold-weather shoes!
from Baltimore, MD on 8/2/2007
No break in time needed
from Dothan, AL on 8/2/2007
This shoe is great for long hours on concrete floors. It is very supportive and comfortable enough to wear for a 12 hour shift at work.

I love this shoe. I use it for everything which means they are very versatile. I just do not like how they turn my socks green all of the time!

from Coral,Pennsylvania on 8/2/2007
I have another pair of these shoes and just love them. They fit fantastic! I ordered the same size in this green merrell and had to send it back for a half size larger. Still fits smaller than my original.
However, I purchased another color for a gift and that pair was more true to size
from West Texas on 8/2/2007
I love these shoes. This is my first pair of Merrell's, but certainly not my last. I have worn them just about every day since I got them (about 2 months now) and they are still like brand new.
I did go up 1/2 size, that is just a personal preference in a serious walking/hiking shoe. Never got that first blister, even after 10 miles. I don't see how anyone would be disappointed with this purchase.
from Lafayette, LA on 7/31/2007
This Merrell is the PERFECT outdoor play shoe. I bought it for my trip to Arizona and I was not dissapointed. We hiked up 5000' on red rock ledges, through brush, rocks and shrub and my feet felt sure footed and light. This is an extemenly comfortable shoe that has tremendous traction and helped me grip the slopes. Since back home on flat ground, I have been wearing it to work in the yard. Thanks [...] and Merrell!

from Portland on 7/31/2007
I loved these shoes so much, I did serious searching to find this pair to replace my worn out pair. Merrills are perhaps the most foot-friendly shoes around and when you walk 20+ miles a week, they are the absolute best for comfort, durability and support. When the time comes, I will buy these shoes again!
from Flint, MI on 7/31/2007
This is a must have for any woman. Being I am on my feet all day long it is great to have a pair of shoes that reduces fatigue in my legs and lower back.
from Davison, MI on 7/31/2007
This shoe was recommended by my physician because of lingering lower back pain. Skeptical at first but now a true believer. I have several family members and friends now wearing Merrell Shoes, all of them relieved to not only have this much comfort on their feet, but the way it reduces stress in your lower back. This is a must have for any woman.
from anchorage, alaska on 7/30/2007
My mother, my husband, and I all have the same cute shoe. We love doing our things in these shoes.
from Santa Monica, CA on 7/30/2007
This is a great shoe if you love the Outdoors. I use it for traveling, mountainbiking and hiking, even riding a motorcycle. The sole is great on different terrain. Wear it in cold or even warm weather or rain. Your feet stay warm. I usually wear a size 9. The shoe seemed to be a bit big for its size. It would be almost better to have a regular tying system. In all this is a great shoe for me I can use when I travel or do outdoor sports. It's a good investment - not too stylish - the choice of other colors might be an option and reach more style oriented women.
