I was so excited to use this shoe! My previous Merrell's had been discontinued, so I hoped these would work. I loved the color, the fit. Except - the attached tongue. Didn't work = returned = disappointed.

Have two pairs. Weird looking but great walking/hiking shoes. Lots of spring to the sole.

I found that these run at least a half size small; I am a women’s 6 and the 6 1/2 are ok but a little more toe bed room would be nice. I would not recommend these if you have high arches. I have a small, narrow “ballet foot” and found these nearly impossible to put on. That little loop in the back worked overtime. Once on they feel ok but are snug around the elastic mouth and the top of my foot is sore after a while. I need these for a camping trip so I’m going to keep them, but cut a slit down the tongue.

They fit on the small side so I had to size up, but are comfortable. They are difficult to put on because the laces can not be loosened.

These sneakers are a great everyday option. They fit true to size with a slightly wider feel, making them very comfortable, especially with thicker socks. The neutral color is super versatile and easy to style with anything. They remind me a bit of my Veja Rio Branco in terms of overall look and wearability. Clean, effortless, and practical while still looking polished. A solid go-to sneaker for daily wear

Described as: "Attached tongue for a secure fit, Updated slip-on style with lacing for easy-on/easy-off". Not true! They do not slip on or off! I almost gave myself a hernia trying to get my feet in these shoes! I was so looking forward to replacing my old worn out Alpine Sneaker-Multi - Bariole pair for an upcoming trip to Europe. I am so sad these did not work. Returned.

I finally dumped these shoes in the trash. They were so difficult to put on because of the construction. Merrell is too good a company to put out a pair of shoes like these. I have many pairs of Merrell shoes and I love them, but these are horrible. They actually hurt my feet!

Great shoe for walking or light hiking. Plenty of toe room and it has good arch support.

Great shoe. I wear these for Zumba. Feel good & look good. Easy to exercise in!

I bought a pair of these and did not realize that they had changed the tongue of the shoe. As others have said, they are incredibly difficult to get on and do not feel comfortable as the old model. I have several pairs of the original model and love them. I get compliments every time I wear them. The multi color shoes are very popular and look great with shorts and T-shirts. Please produce more colors and fix the tongue back to original design.

I love the way this shoe looks. I love the way it's incredibly comfortable to wear. I even love the look of the shoelaces! But I really, really hate the way I have to struggle to get my feet into the shoes due to their lack of a proper tongue. It's hard for me to believe that someone approved this horribly uncomfortable design flaw. Did they not try the shoes on themselves before giving their okay?

Beautiful color. But they are very hard to put on with the tongue of the shoe attached. You cannot open the shoe enough, causes socks to bunch.

Wow! Once you get them on your feet, you won't want to take them off. Everyone comments on the style and ask if they are "comfortable." I just flash my blissful smile and nod. They are not the easiest shoe to get on, but like a good set of hand gloves, once they are on, they're just the best.

I really wanted them so bad, but couldn’t because I have inserts and high arches.
Wave Runner
This shoe goes with almost everything, even casual skirts. Nice arch support w/ wide toe box. Very glad I got these.
