Merrell J035614 womens Hiking Shoe

Very happy with these which I purchased for walking in Portugal.Thank you Merrell for 1/2 sizes and wide toe box. I have very wide feet and wear orthotics. Bought size 4.5, which is my size, and these shoes fit perfectly, even with full orthopaedic insoles.The shoes are lightweight and very comfortable. Can be slippery on certain wet surfaces.

I love the look of this shoe. I replaced the insert and very comfortable.

I'm so happy to find these hiking shoes. I wear and 8 1/2 Narrow shoe and it is so difficult to find a hiking shoe that works for me, if the shoe is too wide my foot slides around and I get shin splints and back pain. Even though these are labelled as medium width, they fit me perfectly. I purchased what is basically the same shoe 10 or 12 years ago, I wore them and wore them both for daily walks and hiking. Recently they just weren't usable anymore. I tried six other shoes and they were all too wide and didn't hold my feet securely enough for lots of walking. So excited to find I could buy basically the same shoe. They are sturdy and give my feet great support, I can lace them firmly enough that they give me the Narrow fit. Soles have ridges which grip the ground. I chose the Polar Wave color, pretty jazzy, I wonder what my adult children will think when they see their 71 year old mom wearing such a stylish shoe.

Light weight to pack and light weight to wear. Dry quickly if wet. Very comfortable and roomie. Did not need to break-in. The very first time I wore them, I hiked through a rain forest with all kinds of ups and down the rocks, boulders, waterfalls etc and did not feel any discomfort due to shoes. They are good for walking on road or trails as well. They look great too!I will recommend these shows for hiking.

I have a pair of Merle hiking shoes, but they’re very heavy and drab. I bought these in hopes of a better look and a lighter feel. They are absolutely lightweight, have good traction, and they look great!
