I have neuropathy in my feet. Barefoot shoes work wonders almost comfortable.

Very comfortable and durable in the outdoor environment. Would definitely recommend these for anyone looking for something that will be more comfortable and durable.

Bought these for my son who is a Boy Scout. He has been using them for camping and hiking. They are comfortable and keep his feet dry. Lightweight which is nice.

All Merrells purchased by me have shown no variation in quality, fit or performance. I wear MOABs, and both low and high cut Wraps like this one daily now that I no longer work. If you're not wearing your Allen Edmonds cap toe town shoe, you're wearing your Merrells.

I'm on my second pair (which is why I dropped a star) of these. I love them - they are very comfortable and look great. The problem is why I'm on my second pair prematurely. The cloth lace loops right below the metal loops at the top wear out first and quicker than anything else because they are under the most tension and, when you take off the shoes or pull them tight and tie them, experience the most sawing action from the laces. The fix for this is for Merrell to make a slight design change and replace the first pair of cloth loops below the metal loops with another pair of metal loops.

Not comfortable. Lacks fit qualities. Not slip resistant as advertised

Bought a pair last spring. Like them though they could be a bit wider in the toe box. Except for long stints on concrete or asphalt these are my favored shoes. Have remained waterproof with good grip. .

Great shoe. Good sole, right height, very comfortable on my size 14 foot. I would recommend the chuka boot to friend and foe.

Great shoes. If you have healthy feet that don’t need arch support, these shoes have lots of traction, light weight, zero drop, room for toes, and enough sole that you don’t feel every pebble. One of the best shoes I’ve ever had.

I have had these about a month now and added a thin insole due to the fact that I have narrow B width feet. They are extremely comfortable and did not require any break in period. An actual barefoot shoe. As with my past Merrell purchases I am looking forward to wearing them for 10 plus years.

Day one of wearing these boots and my feet are killing me. They have designed a seam inside the boots that align perfectly with the lateral malleolus, that boney part of outside ankle that sticks out. Perhaps mine protrude more than the average bear, but it's like the people who built this boot don't even have feet themselves. My hopes were high, and now they are dashed. Boo.

Looks and wears great! I was a bit skeptical about how much ankle support they would provide but they worked quite well on my last mountain hike. I would recommend these.

Honestly surprised these shoes are still alive. They’ve survived everything from hiking in the Peruvian Andes to an extensive road trip across Europe, plus almost daily wear and tear since. The glue and thread held up through all the abuse, which feels like a stroke of luck They’re super comfortable and reliable—just be extra careful on wet marble or smooth surfaces, as they can get dangerously slippery.

Bought a pair and within a month the glue was coming apart on the front of booth boots. How do I get these replaced?? Did the factory just have a bad batch of them??

I have very wide odd shaped feet. Lol. These are the most comfy shoe ive ever owned. The sole is quite thin and very soft rubber....forcing you to walk properly. That said there was noticeable wear on the sole after only about 4 hours light use. Will see how they hold up for the long term.
