Tlamb: I had the original version of this shoe years ago. I absolutely loved them. Hike, bike, swim, you name it, I did it in these shoes. They were worn out and had to be retired. I was thrilled to see them available on Amazon. They look exactly the same as my original pair, but their are some definite differences.
-The toe box is wide enough, but not as wide as the original.
-I developed a blister on my left heel after a 30 min walk on easy/flat dirt terrain. This never happened with the original.
-because of the aforementioned, I suppose a break in period is necessary, which was, again, not the case for the original.
-The stitching on these do not seem to be at the same quality as the originals. I foresee them breaking down MUCH quicker.
I'll be keeping them, as the sole is still the most comfortable I've found in a hiker/water hybrid shoe. I am hoping a solid break-in will have them good to go, but I will upgrade to another shoe after these. The decrease in quality will only get worse.

Nathalie Stephens: I bought these for a month long trip to Hawaii and American Samoa. They were perfect for the treks to waterfalls, kayaking. My only complaint is if you are walking on a beach and the sand gets in you have to take them off to dump the sand out. I loved them, they saved my feet! I wouldn't hike for really long hikes in them as there is not too much support. I also sometimes wore socks with them, that made them even more comfortable to wear.

ChrisPduck: Have had two pairs of these so far in my life and only sacked them off because they got faded and scruffy looking - they didn't actually wear out!
They fit perfectly and are unbelievably comfortable. You can wear them with or without trainer socks but I find that on a long walk, trainer socks are best. They're especially good on hot days as the in cut-outs in them keep your feet nice and cool.
If you go fell walking, scree running or climbing, forget wearing these unless you are absolutely sure of the territory because the elastic at the back is not strong enough to hold them on your feet and they will slide out under pressure or on difficult terrain. Once wore them to climb Coniston Old Man - big mistake! The slate there is incredibly volatile and you need all the traction you can get. My feet slid out of these twice going up Saddlestone Bank and I vowed from then on only to wear my proper walking boots for that particular walk but for every other kind of relatively flat but rough terrain, water adventures or road walking, they are great - can't fault them!

Louise A.: I struggled to find a 6.5, as I had known that this shoe does fit a bit small and it will not stretch, as it's all synthetic. I ordered/bought a 6 and wish I'd tried the 7. They do fit, but after a half hour walk feel just a bit too tight.

David J Russell JrDavid J Russell Jr: I needed some water shoes, and my feet aren't going to grow anymore (40yo and no more babies thank you very much) so I wanted to get a proper pair that will work for creeking and rafting/canoeing and swimming in the lake/ocean, but also for playing disc golf with my husband and light trail hiking, and will last for the next 5-10 years at least. I started off by heading to Cabela's (FYI, I have a local Cabela's, Field and Stream, and Duluth all within spitting distance of each other, and out of those three brick and mortars, Cabela's had the best water-hiking-shoes selection, BY FAR). In the store I tried on the KEEN Newport Hydro, the KEEN Whisper (mostly they had KEEN and their store brand, Worldwide Sportsman...or something like that), and a few of their Worldwide Sportsman brand. I did not find any Merrell water-hikers in-store (at any of the stores). Anyway, out of the ones I tried at Cabelas, I quickly decided against the Worldwide Sportsman as they did not fit well (loose on my very wide feet, but tight on top and jamming into my leg at the top of my foot). So that left the KEEN. Both the Whisper and the Newport fit well, but I wanted something sturdy and hefty, and the...

Christophe Legrand: I bought these sandals for my up-coming trip to Africa as I wanted something closed in but somehow open!
I love the design and the colour and they are super comfortable. Every time I have worn them I have received positive comments on them. I am usually UK size 7 but I went for size 41 which is a little on the large side but with the soft top opening and the laces I can tighten to fit and there will be enough room if I need to wear socks with them. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is that the material on the inside makes my feet sweat really quickly and when I take them off after a couple of hours my feet are pretty smelly. I think if the inside had been that soft leather kind (I'm not sure what you call it) I don't think there would be this problem. As the sandal is quite closed my feet get pretty hot in there.

CC: These are good for general hiking in the spring summer. Nothing too rough though as they have very flexible soles and you can feel the stones under foot. They took over a week to break in of full day wearing. Look ok for a hiking sandal. Best of majority I tried - I wore them for a full on 100k walk they were a little uncomfortable for first few days but I should of worn them more before I went

Jasmin: Zufällig habe ich die merrell vor vielen Jahren entdeckt, als ich Wanderschuhe kaufen wollte. Statt salomon sind es merrell geworden, da diese nicht so schmal geschnitten sind und perfekt passten. Diese gehen so langsam kaputt. Ich hatte diese Schuhe auch fast täglich an, bei jedem Wetter.. Deshalb entschied ich mich wieder für merrell Schuhe. Allerdings habe ich ausversehen diese gekauft, nicht wie meine ersten merrell, Wanderschuhe, die Regen und Schnee abhalten. Da sie mir aber so super gepasst haben u sie kaum zu spüren sind, habe ich die begeistert behalten!
Es sind sommerliche (einfach nicht für den Winter geeignet) Laufschuhe, passen gut an Plattfüße bzw. Breitere Füße (die sich in salomon Schuhen nicht "entfalten" können) und sind zur täglichen Nutzung perfekt geeignet! Sie sind leicht, die Luft kann an den seitlichen "Mesheinsätzen" gut zirkulieren u belüftet so den Fuß.. Ich finde sie ein Traum.
Habe Größe 38, so auch bestellt.
Toll, dass es merrell gibt.

Shea Willis: I earn my keep by being in the outdoors most of the time, and I "hike" rivers like other people hike mountains - not on the banks, but by going straight up the middle. This means that my shoes are in the water for hours/miles at a time, and are subjected to a constant barrage of mud, rocks, sticks, and other debris. In the month of July, I literally destroyed three new pairs of what one would call the classic "water shoes" - the little slip-on things with mesh uppers and rubber soles. This is not new - I have gone through countless pairs. I was logged in on Amazon, doing a search for yet another pair this week when this pair of Merrell's popped up in the suggestions. I just about fell out of the chair when I saw the price, but after a quick calculation, I realized I was spending at least this much in disposable water shoes over the course of every summer, so I gave it some serious consideration.
My feet are fairly wide, and as a result, I normally shy away from women's shoes and buy boys instead. However, I noticed that one of the other reviewers mentioned that these had a pretty wide toe box, so I decided to take the chance and order them.
My UPS guy delivered them as I was...

Nicole Gnutzman: I love these shoes! And I was disappointed as I have always worn a size 7 in Merrell's (and every other shoe brand) and unfortunately, I discovered too late after a trail hike or two that they were too small and I had missed the window to return/exchange. I may just have to buy them again a half size larger.....
