BAD and disappointing
I never got the chance to find out if they were waterproof because they were 1/2 inch too small, even though I ordered my size, 9.5. Width was fine, but I couldn't even wear thick socks because not enough room in the toe area for thin socks!!! I should have returned them, but I thought maybe I could break them in and they might fit better. Nope. Very sloppy construction and design. That's very unfortunate since I have many pairs of Merrells in 9.5 that fit perfectly. These were way too expensive to have them as a show piece on my shoe rack. I do not trust Merrell anymore and afraid to order anything.

Not the Shoe I Expected Considering the Price
I just received this product right before an Alaskan cruise where rain is expected in our ports. While on a test walk, I have to disagree with the summary that states that these are well received for "comfort, support and minimal break-in period." I am new to hiking shoes/boots so to begin with I would advise others the following: 1) Prepare to have a break-in period 2) Order one 1/2 size bigger and wider a 3) Make sure that you have the right socks (wool). 4) Buy a cushioned insole for comfort. I have yet to determine how well they are as far as traction and ability to keep feet dry, but I'll find out. I was a little disappointed that I didn't research these better as Trust Pilot has some very low ratings. I'm crossing my fingers.

Very comfortable hiking shoes
This is my third pair of Merrell hiking shoes. I love the wide fit and overall support. Very comfortable. Also I am so pleased you offer half sizes. My only quibble is that the soles wear very quickly. I admit I walk a lot- 10-15 km a day so I have this problem with most shoes/boots. I wore in light rain, no problem. Need to try heavier rain later.
