I love this shoe! This is my 3rd pair! They are comfortable and sturdy. They do everything the manufacturer said they would. I am hard on my shoes and give them a work out.

I've worn them in rain, puddles and mud. I've hiked in the mountains, ran on trails worked out at the gym and taken aerobic classes always with a smile on my face. This product certainly lives up to the Merrell name and quality.

I highly recommend buying a pair ... you'll be hooked for life!

I use these shoes for everything! I spend a lot of time on my feet. I am the mom of two small children and a nurse and these are fantastic for my active lifestyle. I know I can run and play with the little ones and always count on being safe in these. I can also work a twelve hour shift with comfort. I struggle with back, hip, and foot problems are these provide wonderful support.

Couldn't get the size right

I wish they would make their shoes in this country, then I don't think the sizing would be so much of an issue. I usually wear an 8 but in this shoe it was much too tight. The 8-1/2 was too big. If I could get the size right, I think they would have been pretty comfortable. The mesh was a little too open, so I don't know how it would hold up over time though.

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I love the support of Merrells, but they do not have consistent sizing. I have the Siren mid ventilator and had to get it in an 8-1/2. I usually wear an 8. So, when I decided to buy these, I first tried an 8-1/2, but they were half size too big, so I exchanged for the 8, which felt like a 7 or 7-1/2. There was definitely more than a half size difference between the two pairs. I am frustrated, because they seemed so cushiony, I think I would like them if they fit! Also, frayed around the top and the mesh--are tacky looking for such an expensive pair of shoes. Happy with onlineshoes.com [...]

I absolutely love my Merrells Overdrive. I am a Radiologic Technologist and I work 12 hr shifts so I purchased these shoes to wear primarily to work. They feel great!!! With other shoes or sneakers my feet and legs would ache and burn after my 12 hr shift but not with my Merrell Overdrives!!! They also are great to wear casually with jeans and a sweatshirt for weekend play. I would definitely purchase these shoes again.

I love this shoe!!!!! I am very particular about my shoes since I workout about 2 hours per day and one hour of that is cardio either running or another cardio exercise. After purchasing this shoe, I bought 2 more of the exact pairs in case they discontinued the product since I change my shoes out every 6 months or sooner if needed. Also, my fiance' bought the exact shoe in the men's size and he loves them, too. He says they are the most comfortable shoe he has ever worn. I recommend this shoe to everyone.

Great sneaker - only draw back is your socks can get wet if the top of the shoe gets wet because it is like a mesh. But other than that they are great. Extremely comfortable, I have heel spurs and they don't hurt as much as when I wear these sneakers.

These shoes are so comfortable. I always take them travelling. They fit really well and took no breaking in. You can run outdoor in them but I've even used them on the treadmill.

I was excited to get my first pair of Merrells but this shoe did not live up to my expectations. It is not uncomfortable but for the price it should be better than the average shoe in this catagory.
