These are fantastic for walking during our AZ summers. Light so my feet don't feel sweaty and they don't skimp on comfort. I wear these every day.

I was so excited when I found a pair of these shoes at Ross and they were half the normal price! Now, after wearing them one time I'm mad that I bought them all together. The most uncomfortable shoe I have ever owned.

Best sneakers around! I have so many pairs and hope they keep making them!

I love these shoes. Well-made, comfy on my left foot. But alas, the right one is too small so I will be giving them away. I have small feet so I'll probably have to give them to a child, who probably won't appreciate the earthy colors and fantastic hiking tread. Oh well. I'll buy in person next time rather than online

Fit well and comfortable. Not hot, which is important in Texas summer.

The price, extremely low, should have tipped me off. For years I have worn Merrell hiking shoes and Merrell sandals. Loved all of them. This shoe is made of cheap materials and is not particularly comfortable. Love the brand, disappointed in the shoe.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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
