This is the first pair of goretex shoes I’ve ever owned. I personally think the large branding is pretty cool but I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. Anyways I use these primarily for dog walking on rainy/lightly snowy days and they work a charm when it comes to keeping your toes dry. If your feet tend to get hot you may want to avoid wearing them on warmer wet days because the ventilation does suffer with the waterproofing. Overall these are extremely comfy, and to me, stylish sneakers which is why I own a couple pairs. If I was really ballin I’d probably own a couple more!

I’m very surprised most of the reviews say “true to size” - this was not the case for me. I love Merrell, and this is the 1st bad experience I’ve had with poor fit.My foot is size 10.5 D (using foot measuring tool). I’ve always been a size 10.5 with Merrell (and others) for the last 10+ years. I had to order these 3 times (10.5, 11, 11.5) to finally receive the right size (11.5 - never worn that large before; usually I’d be swimming in it) and now have to ship back the other 2 smaller pairs.The length is ok (on the shorter end), but the width is very narrow with a low volume toe box. A size 10.5 was painfully tight in the toe box, and too loose at the heel (slipped a lot). It was also painful at the shank & heel cup - just wasn’t sitting right. Even with a full ... MoreI’m very surprised most of the reviews say “true to size” - this was not the case for me.

Even with a full size up, it still crowds the outside of my toes, but definitely better (should stretch though with wear). Ironically, the larger shoe does not slip like the smaller one. Adding a more cushioned insole also helps.I still really like the style, just wish sizing wasn’t a hassle. I’d recommend going 1 to 1.5 sizes up if you have normal (D) width feet. Can always add volume with insoles, but can’t remove it (the insoles are pretty thin to begin with).

I purchased these a year ago and they have held up incredibly. Will be purchasing another pair. Very well made product!

Have had the white pair for about a week now and it does as advertised. Durability and water proof are up to standard along side a great look. I’m obsessed with the big GORE TEX text on the side. I hope the USA can get some of those other colors across the pond like orange!People said in other reviews to size up half size. I’m a 10.5-11 and just went with 11. Slightly roomier but I prefer it like that. Still fit enough to run and do all athletic activities
Only a month in, but these are great! I've been at and in the creek's edge alot and my feet stay dry. Comfortable and flexible enough for trails and light climbing.
I really like Merrell and these shoes. I do have to spend extra money and change the insoles out to onee with some stiffer arch support. I suppose it is an age thing and many years on my feet. Great shoes though!
Comfortable, sturdy, lightweight, great traction and I personally love the design.
Got these off a whim and these are seriously the best shoes I’ve ever worn, not an understatement. They have a great feel you feel like they’re never dirty and they don’t loosten up as much as your sister at Halloween costume try-ons. They are very FUN to wear and have NO WATER BREAKAGE
Slippery sole. Like incredibly slippery on trails such as logs and rocks. I mean way more than other running shows. The tread is very squishy. Foam like not sturdy so with the massive heal you can easily roll your ankle. I have flat feet so keep that in mind my fit could be different. Water proofing is excellent and they look great but sadly not functional at all in real world application. Makes sense why sneaker shops sell it.
Bought these hiking shoes and immediately took them to Zion. Climbed Angels Landing and two other trails straight out of the box. Never lost any grip and we’re super comfortable. The only thing I don’t necessarily like about them is the graphic design with “gore-tex” written on the side, but that’s not important. They are awesome shoes.
