Finally, A Trail Shoe That Understands Wide Feet

If you have wide feet and have spent years squeezing into trail shoes that just don’t cut it, the Merrell Nova 4 will feel like a revelation. This is hands down the best hiking and trail running shoe I’ve found for wide-footed adventurers. Right out of the box, the Nova 4 feels incredibly supportive and roomy where it counts — no break-in period, no hot spots, and zero foot fatigue after long days on the trail. The wide fit option provides a secure yet natural feel, avoiding the dreaded “toe squeeze” common in so many other trail runners.

Great Shoe!

Great looking shoe and very comfortable. Helps with planters fasciitis.

Early Review

(10½ wide) So far the shoes are very comfortable right out of the box and fits great with plenty of room for my toes to splay. I do have planters fasciitis and after 2 full days of work my feet are not hurting by the end of the day. The reason for buying these shoes is so I would have a comfortable breathable pair of work shoes and after 2 hot humid days my feet have not felt overheated. Compared to Asics trabuco 12 gore-tex and Keen Targhee IV WP (The Targhee IV WP runs very hot on hot days). The only problem I've had is that my big toe nail has been hanging on the seam it the tow box when I get back up from kneeling down. (The first time did hurt) The nova 4 would have earned a 5 star rating if it wasn't for that problem. But I'll probably still keep them and try not to rip my toe nail off lol. (I don't have long toe nails)

Comfortable

I purchased these for my 93 year old father and he says they fit great and are comfortable.

I have a wide foot, the width on these was perfect. But they are too long. I have owned several pairs of Moabs and these fit perfectly, I was expecting some consistency among the brand. Disappointed.
