Very good for non-strenuous wear.

I'm very happy with these shoes. I have big feet for a woman and find men's shoes are more comfortable. I am not wearing these for running or hikes, just around the house and out running errands, but for that they have been just great comfort-wise, which is all I'm interested in.

Awesome shoes. I wore these all the time. For about 10 months. Now, they are still comfortable, but wearing out in a few spots.

Excellent shoes!

What I love most about Merrell shoes is how they always feel like they're already broken in right out of the box.I'm usually not a fan of their color pallets used on some of their other shoes/boots, but these Nova 3 sneakers have such a great look!As for fit, my feet are slightly wider, but not wide enough to need a wide shoe. So I tend to be between sizes. I tried the 10 (US) and 9.5 (US) and settled on the 9.5(US) as the 10s were just a tad too long and my foot kept sliding forwards in the shoe.They breath well, and seem to be pretty durable considering they are made of a lighter mesh material. I've worn them out fishing, walking, etc. They clean up easily and dry out fast.Looks great with shorts or jeans. These are an every-day shoe for me.My main complaint is that it's $124, and the insoles that came with the shoe are junk. They flattened out within a month of regular wear and won't stay in place. I've had to replace them. I didn't know Merrell also sold insoles until just now and the reviews are convincing me to buy some, so I'll be trying those out!

Love the shoe, but it is a bit wide in the toe-box

Used regularly to run a local 3-mile gravel/dirt trail. They are very comfortable and offer outstanding traction for climbs and descents. A bit loose in the toebox for quick lateral movements (I have fairly narrow feet), and the rounded heel would make for an odd gate if you're used to running heel-heavy (I run mid and forefooted). Used them during my last Tuff Mudder (10-mile obstacle course) and never slipped or stumbled. Was able to navigate the trail and all the obstacles with relative ease. Gave them 4 stars due to the "Baggy" feeling in the toebox. I had to intentionally relax my foot and toes to keep from trying to grip the shoes with my toes. Maybe just a ME issue, but they felt a bit overly spacious compared to the TrailGlove, which I was running before trying these. If you run enough to warrant a trail running shoe like this then you know your feet. Just my experience.

Really comfy but geez the durability of the sole is the worst

First off I’ve had these shoes for 6 weeks. When I first put them on it was oh nice! These fit good. Plenty of arch support and room in the toe box. I have a high arch normal width foot. I tend to toe off heavy on my foot strike. But these fit good and have ample cush. Didn’t feel any abnormal rock strikes.I like the fit and they are a decent looking shoe. But my only gripe is the wear. I have never had a shoe wear out so quickly. That is 6 weeks of wear with under 20 miles a week. Seriously @vibram I always have great things to say about their soles and have had many happy miles on other models. But I will not be buying these again because of the sole. The uppers are basically new still. I could resole but is it worth it? 3 stars for comfort

Lightweight and comfortable

This is my second pair. The first I bought at an outlet mall. Liked them so much I decided on a second one. These shoes fit me nicely and look good. They are much less heavy than the Moab line, which are better suited for cool weather and for light hiking.[Edited to add] I bought the black ones, which were on sale. The picture for the black shoes does not match the pattern of the other colors -- but the picture is wrong. The correct shoes arrived.
