Customer Reviews

I bought these shoes for an upcoming winter trip to Europe. I expect to do a lot of walking and the weather will be cold and wet. I have been walking around San Francisco to break them in. My comments so far: Size - I normally wear 10-11. In these shoes, I needed an 11.5. Seems to run a full size small. Arch - I have a flat feet. For walking, I need moderate arch support and good cushioning. Shoes with a big or rigid arch are uncomfortable. This model works well. Construction - excellent, as you would expect from Merrell. Style - I do not like a shoe that looks overly constructed with lots of doodads to call attention to it. The Smooth Black Leather color is good. Zappos service - I am in the Customer Service industry. Zappos is the gold standard; quick, easy, helpful and informative. They handled my exchange from an 11 to 11.5 perfectly. I will update this review when I return from my trip. Incredibly comfortable, first pair or merrells I've ever owned and I'm already hooked, wish they made a basketball shoe. I've got bad ankles but cant stand high tops for hiking, and I usually come back with my right one swollen up to the size of a grapefruit, I've been out 4 times and have not had a problem, can go further in these without having to cut my hike short due to pain, the traction is incredible, inspires much more confidence getting up some hills, highly recommend these.
