Merrell Men's Chameleon 8 Stretch Hiking Shoe

This is the second pair of this exact shoe that I have purchased. They are incredibly comfortable. I use them as my daily walkers. This ranges from a two mile walk that I do almost daily, to working in the garage and around the property. Other shoes just sit in the closet unless I really muck them up and have to wait for them to dry. I really like the stretch laces. Never have to worry about them coming untied. I am certain that I will never wear out the soles, the vibram is unbelievably durable.

Great shoe , comfortable and light weight

Until I found these my go to shoe co. was Nike's in one form or another. After 10 plus years of Nike's my feet started hurting all of the time, I figured it was a minor injury and would go away after a while. That wasn't the case so I went looking for a hiking shoe and quite literally the first time I tried them on in Cabela's my foot pain was gone. I left with my Nikes in the box and these on my feet and I've not had any good pain or the slightest issue since. I've got multiple pairs in different colors of both the non-waterproof and waterproof versions and I absolutely love them. I wear them exclusively and I absolutely suggest them to anyone with a similar situation to mine.

Personally I like the shoes. There were some stuff marks around the toe area that tells me that they aren't new. Maybe they were returns. Still though tough to advertise a new item that has used marks. Otherwise it would be 5 stars.They are really comfortable, and true to my size. Broke in day 1. Not trying to make a fashion statement, so stuff marks don't bother me. Paying a new price for used shoes is what I'm not a fan of.

I purchased these for my husband, who loves to hike. I tried them on today (yes, we are the same shoe size, though my feet are a bit narrower), and they are incredibly comfortable. I will definitely be getting myself a pair. My foot feels very secure, with no sliding toes when walking downhill. They offer great grip and support on the bottom. I also love that there are no laces to tie; I can just tighten them with the plastic slide. If you hike, these are a must-have!

My first order from this seller tracked right to my door with a confirmation photo as well. Trouble was, it was addressed to someone across the street and wasn't my order. AND the tracking number was different from the one assigned by Amazon and had been tracked to my door. Amazon had no explanation and just gave me a credit to my gift card.The second try from this seller succeeded after several delivery date delays. When it finally arrived (without a confirmation photo) the box was crushed. Fortunately, the shoes are durable and were fine!As for the Chameleons themselves, I ordered my first pair in 2006 and they've finally worn through at the outer heels. I loved them so much for their multi-surface hiking capabilities I got this pair. They look almost identical except the Vibram sole looks like it may not last as long as the 2006 pair. But compared to other Merrells and brands, the Chameleon offers great ankle support. And the elastic laces make putting them on and off a breeze. You will probably need a shoehorn to get them on as the opening is rather snug. But that's where the great support comes from!

I may be premature giving this pair of shoes a 5 star review only because I've only wore them for a week and I'm not sure how long they will hold up. However if they match my other Merrell's it will be safe at a 5.This is the second pair that I really like because of the flexibility of the sole and fit. They are true to fit at 9.5 as all of my Merrell's and now my favorite pair. The main component for their comfort is the Vibram sole which happens to be supple and non slip on mostly all surfaces. I have others that are like walking on concrete these are supple and feel like part of your feet with very good arch support.PS I might order another pair now incase they quit making this design.

These are my second pair of Merrell's and I'm very impressed. As a "slip-on" they're a snug fit so they won't be flopping around on your feet. The grip on the soles is great for hiking or just everyday wear.
