Customer Reviews:
Review #1 Good looking, very light and comfortable I got these shoes today after a few days of waiting. They fit like a charm, and are soft and light. Look very stylish, I already got complimented about them at work...
Another good point is, my feet did not sweat on the inside like they do in other shoes worn all day; this pair is very airy.
Go get your own! Review #2 Very Comfortable These shoes are very comfortable for both hiking and everyday use and somewhat good looking, too. Easy slip on and good fit, very good traction.
Review #3 Awesome! These light (in weight) hikers are a slip-on shoe that appears to be a lace-up (thus, "Chameleon"). I have put these things to the test in EXTENDED hiking chores and come in at day's end with sore back, legs, etc - but feet feeling fine and ready for more. Sounds like baloney but it's not.
I cannot overstate how pleased I have been with mine. Great traction and they show essentially no wear thus far. It scares me to think what it will take to wear these things out. I didn't buy them for looks, but I've had several compliments on them.
Some additional observations -- There is essentially no break in period. You can hit it hard with them right out of the box and they'll treat your feet well. Although a slip-on, due to their substantial construction, they do not pull on all that easily. You have to use the handy heel tab provided and give a pretty good tug.
As they look kind of like a running shoe (the "chameleon effect" again) I gave them a go on a two mile jog. BIG MISTAKE. I might as well have been wearing steel-toe engineer boots. These things have a substantial heel element concealed in the shoe and they felt like they weighed a ton. They are not cross-trainers and are not suited as running shoe.
I fully recommend these for situations where one is on their feet all day and a casual/sports appearing shoe is appropriate. Worth the price. Review #4 arsaye The best operating room shoe I have ever worn. Great for standing long periods. Also, really awesome looking shoes. Really enjoy climbing rock faces with my Merrell's. Review #5 Most comfortable shoes I can find I bought a pair of these for light hiking and decided to wear them to work. I am on my feet for 12 hours straight as an ER nurse. I sometimes work 4, 12 hour shifts in a row. These are the only shoes I could find that keep my feet from being sore. Merrell truely makes a quality product. I love them so much I put some on my wish list so I can have another pair. A must buy for anyone looking for a shoe that is comfortable and functional. You will not regret getting these. I would give them 6 stars on a 5 star scale.
