Seem narrow compared to years of merrell use. Not as comfortable as past merrell experiences
from Bay area on 10/20/2008
Wanted a light weight waterproof shoe with great support. Walked all over Europe with no problems. Didn't get to experience "waterproofness" but that's a good thing!
This is an awesome shoe. I go to work with this shoe and am on my feet most of the day. My feet used to hurt by the end of the day, but after I bought this shoe I have not had one day where my feet hurt while I wear them. I take these shoes with me everywhere I go.

Cheap materials used on upper half of shoe.

This shoe does run small, I ordered 1/2 size larger. Other than that fits and looks great. It appears to be durable but I have not had a chance to really put it thru the test yet.

I needed hiking shoes for dog-walking in the park. These turned out to exceed my expectations. They are comfortable, supportive,keep my feet dry, and look good,too. I have been recommending them to my felllow dog-walkers.

great shoe- I ordered two of the same kind of shoes my other choice wasn't with gortex as this one is. They are a comfy fit! The shoe runs small to length so be sure to order 1/2 size larger than you would normally wear. I read a review before ordering my shoes. the review was exactly right so it saved me from having to exchange. I normally wear a size 5 1/2 but took a chance on a 6 fit perfect. Thanks to my reading the review. You will really love this shoe, I do.

I searched 5 stores and 5 websites and found the exact shoe that I was searching for....nowhere else had the color combination in my size.
from Maxville, MT on 9/17/2008
I had a foot procedure done and my doctor said to find shoes that have a wider toe area, and these shoes are just what the doctor ordered!! I am very happy with my Merrell's and I have been wearing this brand for about 5 years now. The best ever.
from NJ on 9/16/2008
A very nice shoe for people who do not have sensitive feet. I found that they were just too stiff for me. They hurt. I also found them too narrow, and I have an average to narrow foot. The also felt skimpy in length. They are made very well, and looked good on. Merrill makes quality products, but these were just not the one's for me.
from Seattle, WA on 9/3/2008
Great for hiking, looks petite for hiking shoes, but they do run pretty short. I usually wear size 6-6.5. I got these in 6.5 and need a 7.
from Corning, CA on 9/1/2008
I bought these for a trip to Alaska. I followed the other reviews and bought a larger size than normal. The only problem I have is the stretchy laces make getting a tight fit difficult, however they do make removing the shoes easy. Won't know if they were a great buy until I get back!
from New Brunswick, NJ on 8/28/2008
These shoes are great! Very comfortable! I listened to the other reviewers, and ordered a half size larger, this was the right decision! The Merrell's have very good arch support, which I need for my flat feet. I have a narrow heel, and these fit without slipping. I like that they are waterproof, but they are not too hot indoors. We do a fair amount of weekend hiking, and these are perfect for me. Very pleased with the product [...]

Spent 4 days in the Boundary waters wearing this shoe - fantastic. I had just recovered from a broken bone in my foot and these were great support. Stepped in water several times and always came out with a dry foot.
from FL on 8/2/2008
This shoe looks so cool! I really like it, order a 1/2 size bigger though, and it's sweet for hiking etc. I live in FL, so it's great for hiking in the warm weather around here.

I already owned the Siren Sport non-Gore-Tex shoe and loved it, so when I saw there was a Gore-Tex version I immediately oredered it. The Gore-Tex version was half size too small, so I had to exchange it for the 10 1/2, but it fits perfectly. I find Merrell's Q-Form to be unbelievably comfortable - even more so than my sneakers. I have a bad back, and I was on my feet in the Merrells for about two hours, and my back felt fine. Can't say enough about this shoe - definitely worth the money.
from Miami, FL on 5/27/2008
These are great shoes, but be advised that they run small. I'm normally a size 9, but ordered a 9.5. I really could have used a 10, but since I've already worn them, I'll stick to thin socks instead.
from Seymour, CT on 5/23/2008
School teacher/coach--great support in this shoe!!
from Amherst, USA on 4/14/2008
First time in my life (37 years) I did online shopping. Until I open the box, I can say that I could not sleep. I thought that maybe It was wrong to buy a shoes online. However after I got it, I hug like a child and I said thanks onlineshoes. Before I go to Turkey back. I will buy few more pa?r too.
like them better than the top new balance sneaker
from Kansas City Missouri on 3/11/2008
I am a nurse with a very active job. I also have arthritic knees. When Merrell says this shoe is made for a womans gait, it is soooo true. At first I resisted the way it made me walk, when I relented, it took away a lot of my knee pain.
from Fresno, CA on 3/5/2008
Three intense 12-hour days of exploring San Fransisco and my feet are not hurting! I got them for spending the summer in Northern Europe. A perfect shoe for whimsical weather. A little stiff in the beginning, after couple days of wear softened up. (Do it before long excursions.) Breathes well and is light on feet despite sturdy structure. Perfect for a variety or purposes, though definitely hot in Central California summer. Looks nice, though I would have ordered in a bolder color if available. I ordered half-size up for enough room for a heavy sock in winter. Merrell fits my wide-ish foot with bunion perfectly. I don't even look at other brands any more.
from PA on 2/26/2008
Love, love, love these shoes! So comfortable and warm. Great for dog walking!
They are off by half size. I have another pair of Merrells and I needed a half size bigger than my current ones.
from San Francisco, CA (for now) on 2/8/2008
I'm leaving on a year long backpacking trip and have done a lot of research on shoes. I've learned that the sole of the shoe should be fairly stiff to level out the extra weight of a backpack - and this shoe fits the bill! No need for a big chunky boot - these shoes will work perfectly well and are pretty cool looking as well.After reading the helpful reviews and ordering a half size larger, I find that they were right. The 6.5 feels great on my normally size 6 feet and will allow a little breathing room for when my feet swell after all the walking I'll be doing![...]
from Fargo, ND on 1/21/2008
I bought this shoe to wear for 2-3 mile winter walks when conditions aren't cold or snowy enough for my boots. I live in North Dakota so I know cold. This shoe offers warmth, comfort, and a lot of support. I would buy it again.
from Colorado Springs on 1/14/2008
Great everyday shoe that is water-resistant. Runs a bit narrower in the toe and with less arch support than other Merrells. Very attractive and sporty for such a rugged shoe.
from Poughkeepsie, NY on 12/29/2007
I needed something for cold, wet and sloppy winter walking. This Merrell is just about perfect.
from NYC, New York on 12/25/2007
They do run a little bit smaller than other Merrells, so order half a size up from what you normally wear. I'm usually a size 7 in other shoes, but in Merrell's I'm a 6 1/2. I ordered a size 7 and they fit perfectly. I love them because they don't require any "breaking in". I put them on out of the box and they are sooooo comfortable from the get- go. I'm a nurse in NYC, so I use them to walk around the city and at work. They get a little warm when I'm running around inside all day, but they breathe well. They are great for the winter weather without having to change shoes once I get to work. The gore- tex liner keeps my feet totally dry even in the pouring rain. Also, they are a very reasonable price for gore- tex shoes...
from Erie, PA on 10/10/2007
I have these same shoes but without the goretex and they are great. I think that when merrell made these they didn't think to extend the length for the extra padding of goretex and they truned out too small.
I was really bummed because I love the style.
from Fairfax County, VA on 8/20/2007
I bought these so I wouldn't have to take my heavy hiking boots and sneakers on a long trip. They were perfect for the light hiking I did, waterproof when it rained, and more lighweight than my sneakers.
