Excellent lightweight hikers & multi-purpose shoe
587112
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.

These trek poles were perfect for my needs - sturdy but lightweight, easily adjustable but also strongly supportive, and I can even fit them in my carryon suitcase.  I am an older hiker and appreciate the balance support these trek poles give - and I also note that they were suggested by younger hikers who like to use them while flying down the trails while I am going at a more leisurely pace.  The trek poles came with all accessories including a nice carry-bag - and the company seems very involved in their product quality!

Once again Keen provides an excellent shoe!  I really like wearing these hiking shoes.  They provide great traction, yet are comfortable and light weight.

Great shoe out of the box - lightweight and extremely supportive for hiking or just walking. Taking them to Scotland so will see how the water proofing holds up.

I ordered these shoes (color: Grey Mint) for a family trip to Yellowstone and was extremely pleased with how they handled.  For longer hikes, I wore them with some thick-ish hiking socks but I can also wear them with jeans and regular socks.  I would say they fit true to size while accounting for the fact that you will most likely be wearing thick socks with them.  They heat up a little more than your average tennis/running shoe, but that is to be expected with any hiking boot.

I also like to wear them to work on casual days... they are understated but professional-looking compared to running shoes.  Another thing is that although the sole was a little stiff when I first started wearing them, it was a lot more flexible after a week of use.  The toe is reinforced as well which is helpful in crowded situations where people inevitably step on your toes.

The recommended size (per website) fits me perfectly. Unlike other typical uses/activities, I bought these for backpacking in-camp shoes, after the day's hike. They are lightweight, foldable/packable, and will allow my feet to breath while in camp. Being H2O, I could also use them for stream crossings, if needed, plus the soles seem to have good grip and should last at least a season or two. Walking around the house in these shoes feel really nice, but the real test will be on the hiking trail and in camp. Being winter, it's too early to try them as intended, so only four stars for now. They do feel good around the house.

awesome shoe. my wife and I both bought a pair to do lightweight hiking. these shoes are basically a tank of a sneaker. Most hiking shoes today have uncomfortable vibram soles. These shoe feel like feathers and comfortable on the feet.

Very comfortable - I like the neoprene insert quite a bit, but noticed if they are not laced tight the sock seam gives me a little rub on the heels. This might be an issue if they are worn for long periods.

I am not a barefoot shoe enthusiast, but I really like these for walks around the neighborhood. I purchased these for some river crossings on a trek in Iceland. I needed something very lightweight that would protect my feet, and would not slip off. So far, so good. At night they are very comfortable camp shoes. Very versatile.

Lightweight, water resistant and a roomy toe box. A great shoe for hiking or trail running, especially if you are a forefoot runner

Excellent set of shoes that provides just the right amount of support without being too heavy or bulky. Very minimalist, comfortable, and lightweight. I've been able to walk in these all day. Although they are waterproof, they breathe extremely well. The appearance isn't overly "busy" and the colors are versatile and don't scream attention which I like. Very functional. I plan on picking up another set.

I purchased these shoes for my 2017 thru hike of the Pacific Crest Trail. The real test will be made then but while breaking them in i feel they will be a great shoe. They are light weight, well built and quick drying. The only problem i foresee is the lacing system they have breaking. I will be getting another pair.

Excellent light-weight all around walking/hiking boot.  I have owned several Merrell mid-hiking boots and these are perfect for warm weather climates.  I have normally worn a 10 1/2 D for decades (age 59), but some brands like Danner, etc are always very tight on left boot - requiring a size 11.  Merrell's 10 1/2 M fit me perfect!  These boots are light, comfortable, look great, and normally last several years of normal weekend pedestrian or trail use.

Great hiking shoe for summer hikes! One of the shoes did give me blisters on the back of my heels on the first day - but it was my fault for wearing short socks with them. Otherwise, they are lightweight and comfortable with great traction.

Excellent light weight cross fit shoe. Well made. Very comfortable and light weight. I am just getting them broken in but I think due to my extreme high arch they aren't as supportive as other Merrell's but then again I was looking for a sporty light weight casual shoe. For that it's perfect. I think your personal preference depending on your arch will allow you to make your choice. I love them for few hours around town. Waterproof. Really good for light hiking, everyday use, beach. Easy on/off without the laces. Would buy again for sure.

Update 9-1-16 After wearing multiple 8 hr days I can add to the above that they still fit and feel fantastic. I have an extremely high arch and these are not the most supportive for that however I can attest that my feet are doing fine after wearing these shoes all day for multiple days-weeks now. This is a well made light weight shoe, stylish, super comfy. Like wearing slippers with a super grip sole on them. I would buy again for sure!

These Merrell Phasers worked for me straight out of the box without a breaking in period.  I'd read other reviews of these boots, on other sites, and some US military personnel have used these boots in Afghanistan.  I thought that if they were good enough for them then they'd be good enough for me.
These boots are a good lightweight boot that offers support for walkers who need more than a walking shoe.  I've found that they are suited to a variety of terrain, from urban to bush walking.  Although they are waterproof I wondered how they would perform in the Australian summer heat but they've been fine.  The boots offer sufficient breathing to dissipate heat and moisture.  The soles have superior grip over the earlier `Octogrip' models. My only criticism is that the laces are too short.
I've been using Merrells since coming across them seven years ago, when I lived in the UK - where they coped with the wet weather, and I find them very well suited to my feet.  I haven't found this model on sale in Perth, Western Australia and I was pleased I found them on offer from the US.  Delivery came two days into the specified delivery window.  My only regret is that I didn't buy three pairs.

These are very comfortable shoes right out of the box. They are light weight almost like a running shoe but with an aggressive hiking sole. The heel is soft to absorb walking impact and that is part of what makes it a comfortable shoe. The soft heel will probably shorten the life of the shoe compared to a Vibram sole but these are WAY more comfortable than my stiff hiking shoes. This is exactly what I was looking for- a comfortable shoe that I could walk around in all day or use for light hiking.
