Merrell SpeedARC Matis Hiking Shoe - Women's

Love the look of these shoes. And they are very comfortable with a little extra room in the toe box. Great for the trail and casual use. Love the lace system just wish there was a pocket to tuck them. Slaps around when moving fast. Slight heel slip when I first got them but was able to solve that with lacing and some time in use.

I have been wearing these for two weeks, putting in about 25 miles. I have an issue with supination; however, during the first two weeks, they are GREAT! I will say, that the lacing system has a serious flaw. You can't use the heel lock (extra hole) system with the one loop and toggle. I cut those out and just use regular laces and they are great. Looking at buying another pair....but will give it another two weeks to ensure that they don't soften too much and wear out on the outside heel (supination). I like that they are grippy on trails, yet cushioned on the road.

Love them! Took them to Sedona and did three tough hikes in them. Great traction and no break in needed. Love the cushioning!

So I took a risk and brought these as my only hiking shoe on a hiking trip. So comfortable right out of the box, easy on/easy off. Great shoes in general. I have two very minor problems. The bump out at the back of the sole made my feet feel significantly larger than they are and I was misjudging my foot length when it came to steps; the bump outs by the toe box also prevented me from getting my feet in cracks while doing rock scrambles. My bad for not buying a more rugged shoe. But I love these and put 50 miles on them in 4 days right out of the box

Great sneakers, took on trip and no break in needed

I have learned the absolute value of a good pair of shoes. Merrell is my choice for years.

Purchased recently - very comfortable and helps me stay on my feet all day

I bought these for a hiking trip in the Caucus mountains. I wore them on 3 moderate hikes (7-9 miles each on rocky but maintained trails) and they are very torn up. More wear and tear than my Salomon boots I’ve used on many more hike over 8 years. I liked these shoes as they’re stylish, so i could wear them on off days in the city (which i did also 2-3 times outside of hiking) but also comfortable and could work for this level of hiking. I was surprised and disappointed in how well they held up. They’re still wearable but I would’ve expected them to be more intact for being worn under 10 times. Also found the fit to be narrow and took a few wears to be “broken in”. I’m almost always a 7 but opted for a 7.5 and even then was having to loosen the fit when in higher elevations
