Nice Narrow Fit And Comfortable

These shoes are narrow. I have narrow feet so I really like them. Very comfortable. The looks are questionable but in mostly black it hides some of the weirdness.

Really Satisfied With These For Daily Wear.

I really don't bother taking time to write reviews but I have been pretty impressed with these Speedarcs. I did not buy these for hiking or running so this review won't apply to that. I purchased the Nori colorway of these in April 2026 with plans to wear them during a trip to Japan. I'm on my feet all day at work so I'm always looking for a comfortable sneaker that won't leave my feet aching at the end of the day. During the week I wore this throughout my trip I averaged walking 10-12 miles a day and these Speedarcs offered just the right amount of support and cushion for my feet. The midsole is not spongey like some of the maximum cushioning shoes I've tried (Hoka Clifton for example) so you don't get that feeling like you're walking on marshmallows. But they're not so firm that you feel like you're walking on bricks. These are more comfortable for all day wear than the New Balance 99X series shoes I have (990 V6, 992, and 993). I didn't experience any squeaking like some others have mentioned. The toebox on these is roomy and I tend to look for sneakers that have a bit wider toebox. So I would say sizing on these is true to size as I went with a 10 in these. In comparison I always have to go with a 10.5, sometimes even 11 in most Nike footwear. The one caveat is the mesh on the top of the toebox does allow water through pretty quickly. So the gore-tex version may be a better choice if you wear these in rainy weather. But overall I really like these shoes and am planning to order another pair or two in other colorways.

Where Have These Being All My Life?!?!!!!

I love my walks, runs, grocery shopping, dog walking, Spring, skipping, nature watching, impromptu dancing, stair climbing, home cooking and everything that makes me put on my Matis… my feet have never been cradled, cushioned, hugged as comfortably as when I’m wearing these. I work in a kitchen and the hours are long & the standing on concrete floors is bone crushing! My feet feel like they are on vacation once they get in these; my step is bouncy and sured, steady and determined. I am relishing the hours of adventure these Merrell’s contribute to my life.

Speedarc Matis Vs. Disney World - Speedarc Wins!

NO PAIN, BLISTERS OR CRAMPS! My speedARC Matis shoes are THE ABSOLUTE BEST! Merrell, you hit these out of the 'amusement ' park! Congratulations!

Great Shoe

Great shoe. It is very comfortable. It fits me well. I have purchased a number of Merrill shoes over the years. I always order a 14 and that was a good fit for this shoe for me.

New Shoes

Not a great shoe down the side as it is not tight as you walk, but the store exchanged for a slightly better pair

Comfy, Light, Restorative

Comfortable and light. Surprised by how light these shoes feel, has a really nice roll-through step. I had Achilles surgery and these have been really comfortable to wear now that I’m walking again. Thinking about getting the mid-height for hiking.

Solid Sneaker

Overall this has been a comfortable sneaker, with 4-wheel like grip! Good cushion, easy in the feet! Negative they are very rigid! The toe area is very firm and their is a hard plastic plate between the upper and lower part of the sole.. for a size 12 I would like to see a little more comfort, but overall I’m satisfied with the shoe!

Perfect

Excelent trail shoes. I love it. The best Merrell shoes I've ever worn.

Good Title

Still breaking them in. Don't wear them each day. I have two toes that are permanently bent at the joint and need lots of room. I'm working to get them to fit comfortably. I'm making progress

Great Shoe But Returned As Too Tight.

These shoes were returned as they were too tight across the top of the shoe. I have 3 other pairs of Merrell shoes all the same size which fit well. If considering these shoes I would recommend going up a size.

Great Shoe!

I received a pair for Christmas and love the shoes. They feel comfortable, look clean, and the lace system works well.

Trail Star

Best walking shoe I've ever had. I walk flat trail/uneven surface and these shoes are always stable and confident.
