The color is not as bright as the photo and the velcro worn out in about a month. There are better shoes out there.

I'm rating these shoes as a 3-star because I purchased them for actual running, but they are poor running shoes. Historically, Nike has not made great shoes for real running (4-10 mile runs), but I had high hopes for these. Unfortunately, these shoes are not suitable for moderate to high amounts of mileage unless you are a minimalist shoe lover (and if you are, there are better options). The support is minimal and the shoes are lightweight. However, I do wear these shoes regularly for weight lifting and sprint workouts on the treadmill at the gym. If you're looking for a great running shoe, I would stick with brands like Brooks or Mizuno.

These shoes are good enough, but not the best. It's hot and make my feet sweat. I has good support but it is a little heavy. I was expecting it to be a lot softer for the price I paid. I normally wear a size 6, and ordered a 6.5D which is their "wide." I have narrow feet and wear inserts and these fit fine. People who have wide feet should get the E. The tounge of the shoe scratches my feet so I have to wear it lose. Overall, I think it's overpriced. Brooks website offers free shipping, free returns!

I have owned other pairs of Merrell shoes in the past and these are not of the same quality I am used to.  I am a working photographer and wear these instead of dress shoes.  I can be on the move for 8-12 hours a day.  Even with orthotics in them, my feet hurt tremendously the next day.  The laces never quite feel right. If snug, they pinch my foot, if loose they come untied.

I have regulated these to extra curricular activities only.

I haven't give up on Merrell, but will no longer expect the same quality across their product line.

A bit disappointed by these. I have a high arch and need a wide fitting.
The shoes are fine for width but do not accommodate my high arch. The tongue is (bizarrely) not quite wide enough and the shoe laces come undone all the time, like no other lace up shoe I have ever owned!  The soles are not as shock absorbent as I was expecting or wanting.
Also, somehow they do not look as good on as the pictures indicate.
On the plus side they appear well made and I love the red color of the shoes inside.

I am sure I will wear them for a as long as they last but I will not be buying New Balance again. Much more success with Rebok and Asic.

I walk an average of 3 miles every other day and these shoes were decent in the beginning for the first two weeks. After that they start to loosen A LOT. About 3 weeks after, they are so loose that you apply too much stress on your feet by trying to keep yourself balanced in them without twisting your ankle. Nearly two months after purchase they hurt my feet so much, so I stopped wearing them on my walks and now wear them as a slipper around the house. Which, for basically a  disposable shoe, is not worth what you pay for. I think i wouldnt have paid more than $5.00 for this shoe if I knew ahead of time.

Okay for causal wear, but not a good running shoe.

This shoe will be better with a gel sole liner.  It lacks cushioning for a longer walk or all day use.

These Crocs aren't quite the ones I was looking for. I wasn't aware that the strap across the top was made of a kind of fabric. I wore these to the beach and the straps took so long to dry that they rarely dried before I had to put them on again. Also, if you have any kind of foot odor, the cloth straps retain that and if you're prone to kicking your shoes off in public beneath a table, you can smell your foot odor on the straps.
Another thing to mention; if you have overly sensitive feet, these shoes aren't for you. As part of its design, the shoe is covered in tiny dots. After wearing these shoes for long periods of time, they began to hurt my feet and rub raw places, particularly on the ball of my feet just below my big toe.

I don't think that these are the best shoes.  I really don't wear them that often.

I wouldn't recommend these.

I bought these shoes based on Consumer Reports and Amazon reviews, but am not very satisfied with them. They're not sturdy enough for walking and don't have much cushioning in them. The sizing also seems off. I bought based on what size I usually get, but these seem a bit too tight. The shoe is well made, but not what I was looking for.

Wore out fast, especially near the toe area. They scuff easily and the scuffs are really noticeable. On top of that, the heels wear out fast. I don't recommend for those who work in the hospital as the leather doesn't hold up to the tasks. I bought two pairs of theses shoes and they didn't last long. Once I spent more money on  hard leather shoes, like Sanitas, I realized I wasted money trying to "save money" on these. Invest in the pricier shoes as there is quite a difference.

These were a bit snug, and hurt the back of my heals. They were just ok. I had to break them in, and they ARE a niceish looking shoe for being under $20. Most flats under $20 barely have a shape, and these look more professional than your typical ballet slipper. However, they were veeeeery uncomfortable for a long time. I think they run a half size too small.

I wore these shoes for about a day and after a couple of hours my feet were hurting so bad. They are too narrow and do not provide good ankle support. Spend a little more money and buy better ones.

I returned these shoes as they were not comfortable. I tried them for Zumba, and there is no cushion and they slip on and are not adjustable.  I got some Capezio dance sneakers called "fierce" from Amazon.com, and they are MUCH better. They lace up and actually have some cushioning, other than in the center which has nothing but is tight fighting for support.

These shoes are cheap and they look it close up.  I ended up returning my pair.  They overall concept of the shoe is nice, but these would be uncomfortable after a while.

These shoes are just barely okay. I really just wanted a cheap pair of shoes to slip on quickly when I wanted to go outside to the garage or to the mailbox, or to run to the store. These are okay for that, but are not comfortable to wear for very long at one time. I ordered a 6.5B, and the length is fine. They seem to run a little narrow, which is fine for me because I can wear a narrower shoe, but for someone who needs a true medium width, they may be a little bit snug width-wise. The sole is fairly thin, as I really expected, and it is not that big a deal unless you plan to wear them for long periods of time. The biggest discomfort factor is in the insole beneath the ball of the foot, right behind the toes: there is a round hump right in the middle that is about 2 inches in diameter, making these shoes very uncomfortable in the beginning.

I didn't want the hassle of returning them, and decided to just live with it, since I really wouldn't be wearing them that much or for very long at one time. Now, after having worn them several times in the past 2 weeks, the hump has started to compress somewhat, and the discomfort has decreased, but I don't think I will ever be able to call them comfortable. I would not order again.
