I own expensive walking shoes but find that just after a few blocks, my feet begin to hurt. I purchased these with the hope that they would be more comfortable. During a recent trip that required 5-7 miles of walking per day and many hours on my feet, I found these to be incredibly comfortable - all day long! Absolutely thrilled with the results. And, they're cute.
As for fit, they fit exactly as they were - I was unable to wear semi-thin socks inside them or they bunched a bit at the top and made the shoe generally slightly tight. So, I wore them without socks and did just fine. They survived a wash too (air dried) without any noticeable change to the shoe.

These things are great and feel great. Definitely go a size below to be safe but I'd go wide if you are a wide. I'm a 10 1/2 American and chose the 9D wide. Feels good and I hike every day and it's earned all week cold, no problems. Did not even let water in from soaked pants but the downside is that they cause hot spots on your shins and calves. I don't know what to do about that but even with socks pulled over and having the boot tight as possible it's still a potential blister factory. You can expect that from rubber against skin. I've heard of people cutting them but I'm not planning on it. I'll figure out another way to make them less abrasive. Again, I use them daily since I've received them and though a little heavy on the feet after long miles a day hiking they're nice on my feet. Also, you can put skis or snow shoes and attach them with the clips on the boot. Worth every dime.

I have put more than one hundred and fifty miles on a pair of these hiking shoes.  I purchased this model specifically because of its very stiff sole due to having osteoarthritis in both large toe joints.  With these shoes I have comfortably walked for miles.

The only negative side to these shoes is that they will get warm after hiking a long time.

These hiking shoes have now traveled with me through deserts and rain and mountains and snow, and they continue to hold up well. They're very comfortable, as I've gone on full day hikes without my feet hurting. It's a bit difficult to get the laces as tight as I would like them to keep my foot from sliding forward on particularly steep inclines, but I've tried a different way of lacing them that seems to be helping with that issue some. I normally wear a 7.5M in women's shoes, and the 8M fits well. I wouldn't say I have a particularly narrow or wide foot, so I can't speak to how they would fit in those circumstances. They're a bit heavy, but this is really only a problem if I need to pack them in my suitcase! Otherwise, I'm completely satisfied and definitely plan on buying other hiking shoes from Merrell in the future.

500 miles on these shoes so far and my feet feel great.  Recommended for casual daily hikers looking for good exercise.  Haven't tried them on super long hikes yet.

I put them on and spent hours hiking immediately.  They felt great and so did my feet.

Super comfortable for both working out and casual walking

I love this hiking shoes! I was hiking at Yosemite (~4mi trail) for the first time and the shoes came on the exact same day I was leaving so I didn't have a chance to break them in. Luckily the shoes fit well and provided great support for the hike; I also wore thick wool sock to avoid potential blisters and/or ticks so that might have contributed to the comfort. Toward the end of the trail my ankle did start to hurt a little but I was so close to our car so I didn't have to endure it for long. I bought this pair and brand on a whim based on buyers' reviews alone, and it was definitely a great buy!!!

On a suggestion from a friend, I bought these to wear on vacation in Costa Rica. I knew I would be hiking and doing some general walking in a warm and rainy climate, and wanted something comfortable and versatile so I wouldnt have to pack and carry multiple pairs of shoes. These shoes were perfect! I was able to wear them while hiking in the mountains, walking around the city, and going out to dinner. My feet felt supported and comfy after walking around all day.

I should also mention that I have wide feet. I bought these in my regular size 7.5 and they fit perfectly. There are multiple straps that adjust for a custom fit.

Since my initial trip, I just wore these in Hawaii, and used them for hiking and as water shoes for some of the rockier beaches. Again, my feet felt so supported, and these shoes are durable! This will definitely be my go-to brand going forward.

I am an avid hiker and I have been trying to find the exact boot for my foot. Some are too heavy, some are not supportive enough. This boot boot is all that and they are waterproof. I have been wearing them everyday in order to ensure a proper fit and I am amazed at how good my feet feel at the end of the day. These boots will be going on a 60 mile hike in November to really put them to the test. I have read other reviews about the stitching but look how hard is it to just have them stitched with some other thread. So far I have not noticed any weird stitch problems. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE BOOTS.

Can't give enough praise for these Salomon's. They fit like a glove (although I have narrow feet) and while I did make sure to wear them on a lighter hike to "break them in" before getting into anything too heavy, I really didn't even feel like I needed to. I hiked about 36 miles in Yosemite for three days in April, allowing my feet to see a wide variety of terrain and challenges. Whether the trail was rocky and rugged, muddy and wet, or snowy and slippery, these shoes held up great and my feet stayed dry. Didn't get too crazy jumping into puddles or anything, but I was still just so impressed with how well these shoes protected my feet and handled themselves with what I put them through. Will more than likely come back to write another review within the next few months, but for now I'm very happy with these.

I used these shoes to hike the John Muir section of the Pacific Crest Trail after having problems with other shoes. I have 'wider than normal' feet and used custom high arch insoles with these shoes. I normally wear size 12, but used size 13 to allow my foot to expand during long days hiking. I bought this shoe primarily for the extra width, because I supinate (underpronation), and because it's super comfy when walking. Previously I've used Brooks Cascadias, Altra Lone Peaks, and various New Balance shoes.

So how did these non-hiking shoes on the JMT/PCT? Better than I expected! I hiked up and down over trails and uneven/loose rocky terrain, through streams/rivers/creeks, and in snow with and without microspikes (see image). Traction was solid. The shoes remained comfortable throughout my hike for about 375 miles until the side of the left shoe ripped out. The shoes were wet for about 25% of the hike! Considering these shoes aren't really meant for hiking and the conditions I put them through, that's not that bad!

I'll use these shoes again for lighter hiking and jogging. These shoes are so comfortable it felt like I was wearing slippers sometimes!

Update 10/2016
I hiked about 480 miles in a 2nd pair of these without any major problems. They remained comfortable throughout the hike, but the padding was mostly lost by the end of the hike. Holes appeared on both shoes where my large toe was located. A big note about these shoes - fine dust seems to get into the shoe even if you wear gaiters - if you hike or jog long distance in them, your socks and feet will likely be covered in dust. I'm ok with the dust and have just picked up a 3rd pair.

After my wife and I planned a family vacation to the National Parks in Utah, she said we all had to get hiking shoes / boots. We went out and got our small children their hiking boots. I decided to forgo the traditional hiking boots as I thought I would not get my monies worth out of them so I opted to get a pair of trail running shoes. We expected to do quite a bit of hiking with our entire family and knew that a good pair of shoes was going to be essential. Well, after quite a bit of searching and comparison I decided on these Adidas AX2 trail running shoes.

Boy do I love these shoes. I think the fit and feel of the shoes right out of the box is fantastic. They were the perfect fit (I normally wear Nike running shoes) for my size 12 foot. While we were out in the National Parks situated in Utah, I used these shoes every day for no less that 8 hours each day during moderate to difficult hikes and not once did I slip, feel fatigue or feel uneasy about footing while wearing them. I had all day comfort and after a whole week of this, the shoes still look great.

If you are looking for a comfortable, good looking pair of trail running shoes at a very reasonable price (we paid $56 while others were going for over $90 or more) then please look no further. Get these and you will not be disappointed.

I purchased these recently because I was trying to find a good pair of lightweight hikers that could also do double-duty as a cold weather casual shoe. These are definitely IT - I wore them during an extended drive (total of ten hrs. over two days) and they were perfect - comfortable, and absolutely breathable. One of the worst problems to have when driving long distances is having your foot overheat, causing discomfort that can distract from driving. These Keens were perfect - oh, and by the way, they were quite comfortable on short (2-3 mile) hikes in the Smokies! Highly recommended. Sizing was spot-on, as well.
