Hiking Shoes

I was in need of a nice sturdy pair of golf shoes… even though these shoes are for hiking I thought why not try them for golf! I bought 2 pair on sale and have worn both a couple times . They are comfortable and supportive on the golf course! Success!

Attached Tongue!

My 3 pairs of beloved Merrell sneakers bought years ago were nearly worn-through. These Alpine 83's looked great. Didn't know @ attached tongue...not that obvious in pictures, and at the time didn't know to look for it. Bad idea...did they only do product testing on petite 20-somethings? I'm 5' 11", large-boned but normal BMI, nearly 60 yo, and have arthritis. I have to use a shoehorn to get them on. It's a wrestling match. Also, the wide toe box I loved in my old sneakers is not there in these. These shoes do pinch my toes some, but it doesn't cause pain and I can wear them all day. Inconvenient purchase for me, but when I finally get them on, I can walk in them fine. Wouldn't knowingly get sneakers like this again.

Fit Just Like My Other Merrell Sneakers

I don't understand all the negative reviews, these fit just like all the other pairs of Merrell sneakers I own! Easy to put on and very comfortable to wear. I do have big feet (42/10.5 women's), with a wider forefoot and "tall "foot - some footwear irritates/is too tight across the top of my foot - but no irritation from these shoes, they are very comfortable! I prefer my shoes looser, and I prefer to not have to tie/untie to put them on and off, and these are exactly that! I have a past shoe from Merrell that is a tongueless design like these that I really love (Embark) - fit in the upper is similar. I was almost put off by the poor reviews - now I regret not buying these in more colors when they were on sale!

If Only..

I was so excited to use this shoe! My previous Merrell's had been discontinued, so I hoped these would work. I loved the color, the fit. Except - the attached tongue. Didn't work = returned = disappointed.

Pleasantly Surprised

Have two pairs. Weird looking but great walking/hiking shoes. Lots of spring to the sole.

Problematic

I found that these run at least a half size small; I am a women’s 6 and the 6 1/2 are ok but a little more toe bed room would be nice. I would not recommend these if you have high arches. I have a small, narrow “ballet foot” and found these nearly impossible to put on. That little loop in the back worked overtime. Once on they feel ok but are snug around the elastic mouth and the top of my foot is sore after a while. I need these for a camping trip so I’m going to keep them, but cut a slit down the tongue.

Great, But Size Up!

They fit on the small side so I had to size up, but are comfortable. They are difficult to put on because the laces can not be loosened.

Solid Go To Sneaker

These sneakers are a great everyday option. They fit true to size with a slightly wider feel, making them very comfortable, especially with thicker socks. The neutral color is super versatile and easy to style with anything. They remind me a bit of my Veja Rio Branco in terms of overall look and wearability. Clean, effortless, and practical while still looking polished. A solid go-to sneaker for daily wear

Pretty, But Not Easy Slip On/off

Described as: "Attached tongue for a secure fit, Updated slip-on style with lacing for easy-on/easy-off". Not true! They do not slip on or off! I almost gave myself a hernia trying to get my feet in these shoes! I was so looking forward to replacing my old worn out Alpine Sneaker-Multi - Bariole pair for an upcoming trip to Europe. I am so sad these did not work. Returned.

Trash

I finally dumped these shoes in the trash. They were so difficult to put on because of the construction. Merrell is too good a company to put out a pair of shoes like these. I have many pairs of Merrell shoes and I love them, but these are horrible. They actually hurt my feet!

Great All Around Shoe

Great shoe for walking or light hiking. Plenty of toe room and it has good arch support.

Attention Getter!

Great shoe. I wear these for Zumba. Feel good & look good. Easy to exercise in!

Bad Tongue On This Design

I bought a pair of these and did not realize that they had changed the tongue of the shoe. As others have said, they are incredibly difficult to get on and do not feel comfortable as the old model. I have several pairs of the original model and love them. I get compliments every time I wear them. The multi color shoes are very popular and look great with shorts and T-shirts. Please produce more colors and fix the tongue back to original design.

Why I Can't Give Five Stars

I love the way this shoe looks. I love the way it's incredibly comfortable to wear. I even love the look of the shoelaces! But I really, really hate the way I have to struggle to get my feet into the shoes due to their lack of a proper tongue. It's hard for me to believe that someone approved this horribly uncomfortable design flaw. Did they not try the shoes on themselves before giving their okay?

Not My Favorite Merrils

Beautiful color. But they are very hard to put on with the tongue of the shoe attached. You cannot open the shoe enough, causes socks to bunch.
