MerrellMen's Chameleon 8 Stretch Hiking Shoe

Streamlined design that is lightweight and hugs the ankle to minimize the intrusion of dirt/sand/trail debris. Material breathes so my foot doesn’t feel like it’s in a sauna. Can wear it comfortably for many hours.

Comfortable.Good stiff support.But not a lot of cushion.

I may be premature giving this pair of shoes a 5 star review only because I've only wore them for a week and I'm not sure how long they will hold up. However if they match my other Merrell's it will be safe at a 5.This is the second pair that I really like because of the flexibility of the sole and fit. They are true to fit at 9.5 as all of my Merrell's and now my favorite pair. The main component for their comfort is the Vibram sole which happens to be supple and non slip on mostly all surfaces. I have others that are like walking on concrete these are supple and feel like part of your feet with very good arch support.PS I might order another pair now incase they quit making this design.

I do carpentry work up in Maine so to say I am rough on my foot ware is an understatement. These particulars are by far my absolute favorite I have owned as far as comfort and support goes. I gave it a 4 though because the laces break super easy and they’re super annoying to order. Mine are forever just knotted over and over until there isn’t enough to tie. I do a ton of bending of the feet so I get it to a point but these are made for hiking where also there is a considerable amount of foot bending. Thus a 4 out of 5. An almost perfect shoe.

I thought that they had stopped making g this shoe. Perfect shoe for yard work. See my old pair that I wore until they literally fell apart. So happy I found them again

This is the second pair of this exact shoe that I have purchased. They are incredibly comfortable. I use them as my daily walkers. This ranges from a two mile walk that I do almost daily, to working in the garage and around the property. Other shoes just sit in the closet unless I really muck them up and have to wait for them to dry. I really like the stretch laces. Never have to worry about them coming untied. I am certain that I will never wear out the soles, the vibram is unbelievably durable.

Until I found these my go to shoe co. was Nike's in one form or another. After 10 plus years of Nike's my feet started hurting all of the time, I figured it was a minor injury and would go away after a while. That wasn't the case so I went looking for a hiking shoe and quite literally the first time I tried them on in Cabela's my foot pain was gone. I left with my Nikes in the box and these on my feet and I've not had any good pain or the slightest issue since. I've got multiple pairs in different colors of both the non-waterproof and waterproof versions and I absolutely love them. I wear them exclusively and I absolutely suggest them to anyone with a similar situation to mine.

Love these shoes! Slips on easily, great traction, comfortable. I have three pairs in different colors. Great for casual and hiking.
