Speedarc Surge Running Shoe

A beautiful shoe. I only walked aboit 7 miles in it for the first wear, but my feet were never sore. The cushion and support is so responsive and springy without feeling unstable. The shoes/insoles did squeak pretty badly for the first hour or so but by the end of the day it was gone. I also love the custom fit you get with the BOA secure function.

The rebound is insufficient, it feels too stiff when walking on it, not as good as I expected, I'm a bit disappointed.

PRO: Looks good, cushiony/bouncy, boas are easy to adjust and stays locked in, adds height making me an inch taller or something, decent grip in slippy rocks. CON: Smaller than anticipated (I'm size 8 so I ordered size 8 but my toes are squeezed in) so wearing for like an hour is uncomfortable, wetness via foliage penetrates through the material so my socks/toes ended up getting wet while hiking, added height makes it feel unstable in uneven terrains while hiking like your about to sprain an ankle so you have to tread cautiously. RECOMMENDATION: Recommended for urban wear only and get bigger size. I wish it comes in wide.

Lightweight, Stable Stance, Quick tightening and release. Has a see through top mesh so socks color will show. But it’s ok. Also, got wet in the rain, so far still intact. Might be slightly water repellent/waterproof?

Best shoe i have ever had! Thank you again, Merrell.

I love the versatility of these shoes!! I wear them walking, hiking, running, doing errands, etc. Anddd they pair well with both casual and athletic clothes. I agree with other reviewers that wearing socks with these is the way to go. Also, the adjustable dials instead of shoelaces is a new feature for me and absolutely love it.
