Not true foot shape - hiker, NO!
This shoe is stylish which is why I think Merrill shied away from a true foot shape. If you have a narrow foot and would like an in town shoe, this can work. As a hiker foot shape, absolutely not! 1. The foot shape does not allow for anything other than a narrow foot. If you have a medium or wide foot and/or you want to wear thicker socks, forget it. Hey Merrill, match your foot shape competitors for true toe splay that allows for every foot. 2. Does NOT offer any protection from gravel, small rocks, or sharp edges. I mean zero. Unless you are on a flat surface, forget it. Merrill, offer a sole that can actually take a hike and provide at least some cushion from the road. 3. I give Merrill credit for getting into the zero drop side of the business, but please do your homework. For now, look to other zero drop companies. There are many now to choose from.

Hi. This is a barefoot style. That means it is made with a very minimal sole. We'd love to do all we are able to help at 800-288-3124.

My favorite boots
My Moabs might be sturdier, but I've put in a lot of miles on and off trails over the years, and this is my new favorite hiking boot. They provide a glove-like fit for my narrow heels without being tight anywhere else, even after my feet swell from a long days in the field. thanks to its roomy toebox. These boots have great groundfeel, supportive akles for my floppy joints without being restrictive, and I appreciate the rock plates for protection on rougher terrain.
Be aware that these are in no way waterproof, I had to send back two pairs before getting a pair that didn't have painful ridges or other defects inside, and and they run very small.
Mine are a lovely green color. I want to buy another pair but your color choices are boring now. Please offer better colors. Fun ones, even! Bring back the green and the original plum color with the black sole, too.

Good shoe
Itbtook a couple walks to break them in. Mostly it rubbed the ankles. Long socks are a must.

Excellent Hiking Boot
Great hiking boot! Warm, waterproof and excellent tread to ensure steadiness in uneven and icy/slippery terrain. Wider toe bed so no pinching. 100% recommend.

My new favorite Merrells
Lightweight, comfortable, with a nice roomy toe box without appearing or feeling frumpy and clunky. My feet feel barefoot while having protection and traction. I purchased these for a wildlife photography trip to south Texas. Perfect to keep my feet dry, comfortable and protected.

Comfortable and Functional Out of the Box
I purchased these hiking boots sight unseen, except for pictures, 1 week before a last minute opportunity to hike in AZ came my way. I have never owned ankle high boots, but have owned low top Merrill’s previously.
I read the reviews, liked the look, appreciated the barefoot technology wide toe box, the grippy sole and ankle support seemed perfect for the rocky terrain in the Sonoran Desert around Phoenix, and red rocks hiking in Sedona. I was concerned the boots would need a break-in period, and that was not going to be possible.
The minute the boots arrived and I took them out of the box, I knew I had made an excellent selection. They fit like a glove and felt made for my foot. I wear a 6.5 US and that is what I bought. I prefer a lighter weight hiking sock. If you like a thicker sock you could size up a half size.
These boots held steady on the rocky, pebbly surfaces of the hiking trails. They stabilized my gait on rocky terrain and kept my feet and ankles well supported and comfortable.
I was happy to wear them all day and equally happy to take them off when done hiking. I like the color, the waterproof suede and the style.
I could not have been happier to have selected and worn a new pair of hiking boots that turned out to be a perfect fit for this trip!
