speedARC Matis vs. Disney World - speedARC WINS!
I just got back from Disney World. Over 60,000+ steps and 32+ miles in several days - Epcot, Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom, Disney Hollywood and ESPN Wide World of Sports... NO PAIN, BLISTERS OR CRAMPS! My speedARC Matis shoes are THE ABSOLUTE BEST!
Merrell, you hit these out of the 'amusement ' park! Congratulations!

Quality tested by whomst?
I bought the white and green ones about 3 months ago. The material is not meant for trails or concrete it's peeling at the sides. I love the style, but the price is outrageous for the poor quality.

Great Shoe
Great shoe. It is very comfortable. It fits me well. I have purchased a number of Merrill shoes over the years. I always order a 14 and that was a good fit for this shoe for me.

Comfy, Light, Restorative
Comfortable and light. Surprised by how light these shoes feel, has a really nice roll-through step. I had Achilles surgery and these have been really comfortable to wear now that I’m walking again. Thinking about getting the mid-height for hiking.

Solid sneaker
Overall this has been a comfortable sneaker, with 4-wheel like grip! Good cushion, easy in the feet! Negative they are very rigid! The toe area is very firm and their is a hard plastic plate between the upper and lower part of the sole.. for a size 12 I would like to see a little more comfort, but overall I’m satisfied with the shoe!

Good title
Still breaking them in. Don't wear them each day.
I have two toes that are permanently bent at the joint and need lots of room.
I'm working to get them to fit comfortably. I'm making progress
