Nice, comfy shoe
By Amazon Customer on Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2020
I had my last pair of Merrell shoes for over 3 years before they started tearing. I tried other brands but none were as comfortable as my Merrells. Unfortunately the exact shoe was discontinued, so I went through all the options on amazon and ordered 3 styles: this, the waterproof Moab 2, and the All Out Blaze Aero. This one was the best all-around of the 3. I do not hike that much, but I like the support and traction for whenever I do. For the most part, these are just daily shoes for me to wear to work. So YMMV depending on your desire for the shoe. The Blaze was best for me, but I kept the Alverstone as well for winter hiking and snowy days and to prolong the life of both. The Alverstones aren't as comfy as my old ones, but they're pretty close. For comparison sake: The Moab 2 was a bit narrower and tighter feeling in the standard width and definitely felt larger and heavier. For only hiking, they might be the better option, but I returned them. The Blaze was super light and comfy, but I hadn't realized that the material was mostly a mesh which means water would go right into it. At first that was a disqualifier, but when I realized the number of times that would be an actual issue for me was very small, I decided to keep them and they are my daily shoe now.

Not the same shoe
By Scott Stein on Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2024
I purchased my first pair of these at Dicks sporting goods and they lasted a year and were still fine. Then I spilled some material on them and had to dispose of them. Those shoes went up and down many mountain trails in several states. I Liked those shoes so much I ordered two pair of the exact shoe here. Five months and the first pair are shot. I am on the second pair and I dont expect these to last either. The boot holds up just fine but sole wore down to nothing, hense no traction. The sole of these shoes I ordered are way softer than the pair from Dicks. One other draw back to these shoes is that they collect sand. There is nothing more irritating than to empty sand from shoes half way through a hike, expecially when the trail is groomed to the point of being wheel chair accessable. This is not an issue at all with my Lowa's. They have about 100 miles of trail on them and those Lowa's have seen some crazy terrain.
