Great sneakers
I walk a lot and wear out sneakers. I wore the soles out pretty quickly. They are comfy and I like the brand. They fit well. I think I ordered an 8 and a half. Good deal for the price. I would have bought another pair but they didn't have any in my size.

Super Comfortable!
From the moment I put them on, these hikers were super comfortable. Plenty of room in the toe box, good traction, and attractive as well. I’ve seen people complain about round laces not staying tied, but you can google “tying round shoelaces” and watch several videos that show how to tie them so that they stay tied. Easy-peasy and it works.

Size up by half or whole size.
The quality of the shoe is great. They hold up when stomping through puddles and they offer great support. However, I wear a size 10 and my toes hit the very front of a size 10 in Merrell. They are comfortable for about 3 hours before my feet hurt. I would suggest getting a half size larger or a whole size just to make sure you have enough room in the toe box.

Great comfort and value!
Fit like a glove right away. Great for hiking. Durable soles. Shoe conforms to foot and is very comfortable. Love them!

Comfortable right out of the box and water resistant
These are cute hikers, and I have found them to be true to size (7.5, not wide). In fact, they are just slightly loose and accomodate thicker hiking socks. I found them to be comfortable right away without having to break them in. They are not waterproof, but are water resistant and don't get soaked in wet grass.

My experience w/Yokota...
Currently I own several pairs of Merrills shoes. My favorites are Yokota style walking/trail shoes. I own 2 pairs. However, I've ordered and returned two pairs as well because the sizing and quality control is a bit sketchy. The first pair now wear (dark brown) fit like size 9s though they are labeled as 9.5s (which I ordered). They are small, but with the right socks they fit well. The second pair (light brown) fit beautifully right out of the box (ordered size 9.5 got size 9.5). They are my go to shoes for daily fitness/trail walking.I just ordered and returned the oxide red Yokota shoes. The left shoe was good. The right shoe had a defect in the way the loops (the laces go through) were installed. They just didn't line up, which made the shoe fit a little bit off...causing my foot to twist inside the shoe when I tightened the laces (causing my ankle to turn inward).When walking over uneven, dirt trails my feet need to be stable inside the shoes I wear or my hips, knees, and ankles become painful. I like the Yokota shoes I have (that fit properly)...and hope Merrills gets their quality control problems straightened out because I'd like another pair to rotate with those I now wear.

Very comfortable
These hiking shoes are so comfortable. I'm 60 years old and I don't hike but I wear them when I go out to the cabin to ride the side by side. Great traction.
