I love these shoes! I'm on my third pair. (still have the other 2). I wear these to work where I am on my feet for 12 hours straight, many times 2-3 days in a row. I was concerned that this new style wasn't as wide as my previous pair, but they were great. I didn't even have to break them in. Out of the box and wore for 12 hours without any problems. My old pairs are now yard shoes.

I wear these as my everyday tennis shoes. I love these..They really do stabilize my feet and make my feet take the pressure off of the far right and more to the center. The pamphlet Merrell sends with the shoes describes the technology behind it and they really do what Merrell says they do. Plus, they are SO comfortable. They were a little higher on the ankle than I expected them to be, but they are so lightweight, that I don't care. I LOVE THEM!!!

The Chameleon Arc Stretch is as good as, if not better, than the Chameleon II's. I've had several pairs of those and they last for quite a while and are comfortable too. The Arc Stretch takes a bit of 'breaking in', and is why I didn't give the shoe all five stars. But, after they're broken in - Yee Haw! I wear these for hiking, birding, camping, running errands, doing yard work, etc., etc. I love the elastic laces as I absolutely hate tying shoes. How much better can it be than being able to buy shoes on-line and have them fit!! Thanks Merrell, and thanks Onlineshoes.com!!

I work outdoors on my feet all day long. It has taken a few weeks to break them in, but it has been worth it. They really do seem to help my lower back aches and pains. Plus I love the way they look on my foot with both shorts and jeans. Make my size 10s look smaller. I will definitely invest in another pair.

I have wide feet and high arches and always have problems finding hiking shoes that fit well. These shoes felt like they became part of my body when I put them on and they are great for climbing over rocks and rough terrain. They also breathe really nicely in the warm weather. The only thing I wish is that they were waterproof.

These are my second pair of Merrell Chameleons. I really like the blue color (my others are gray and yellow). These shoes are so comfortable on my feet and I think they help decrease the intermittent sciatic pain I sometimes get. I use them for running indoors and out and hiking. The size I ordered was 8.5 (same size as my other ones), but I had to exchange them for 8 b/c the heel fit differently and was not comfortable.

This is a great everyday shoe, not sure I would wear it on a rugged hike. Merrell always makes a good shoe but I am not crazy about the new stretch lacing system. I have a wide foot and usually need to adjust the laces to make that adjustment. Although these stretch they are not as adjustable therefore not as comfortable as the many other Merrell shoes I own. I am sure once I get them really broken in they will be just fine and no worries about coming untied.

I recently bought these shoes for an upcoming trip to Asia, Africa, & Europe. I'll be doing a lot of walking and sightseeing and wanted a shoe with good traction for the uneven stone streets & walkways. To "break them in" I wore them on a weekend trip to Sea World and other sightseeing venues where we were walking all day on uneven surfaces. I was extremely impressed! By the end of the day, my feet weren't even a thought since they weren't tired at all. The "Q-Form" in these shoes is amazing and very worth every penny. My husband and children are now looking into getting some as well.
