Review: Great. Maybe the best water shoes I've owned. - I have owned many pairs of water shoes, and these are the best. I wear water shoes on a regular basis for hiking in creeks. I also wear them periodically for padleboarding, or for walking on rocky areas near the ocean. I just got these and wore them for a creek hike. These are very light weight. I'm actually surprised that they seem to quality and yet are so light. They were comfortable, as far as water shoes go, the first time I put them on, straight out of the box. I wear orthotics in all my shoes, so I put my orthotics in them for wearing them to hike. They were super comfortable and stable, with my orthotics in them. The rubber on the bottom is as grippy as any water shoes I have ever had. I expect to slip on slimy rocks, which these did, but everything else they gripped well without slipping, above water and under water. There is a layer of rubber on top of the toes, which is fantastic. Hiking in the creek, my toes go underneath the edges of rocks often, which can jam and hurt your toes. Yesterday, on my creek hike, my foot went under the edges of many rocks, and it never hurt my toes. I was very pleased with this. My previous water shoes covered the whole foot (not sandals, no vent holes), like these, but the tops were loose enough that they let in little rocks. These tie up pretty snug, so they kept rocks out well. Sand is going to get in no matter what. I will buy another pair someday, if they still exist when it's time to get new ones. I expect that will be a while.
Review: Great shoes so far - Got these to replace a pair of hiking boots I had. I have had similar pairs in the past, just not the trail version. I wore them a handful of times to walk the dog, before using them for hikes in RMNP. I basically didn’t break them in and I had zero problems. I love that they are minimal, zero drop and have a wide toe box. They were true to size and very comfortable. I had no issues with feeling rocks or anything, through the sole. With my current pair of barefoot Inov8’s I workout in, that is a problem outside. Obviously this is a different application, but I wanted a similar fit and feel. I hope that they hold up well, because they’re exactly what I was hoping for

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best shoe in the world for running
*by A***A on April 19, 2025*

This is the best running shoe in the world. Also for rock climbing and hiking and gym it's the best. The only better shoe was the trail glove 1, the original. I hope the company will not "tinker" with it more. The 6 and 7 are awful. They have a thick sole! Maybe merrell will bring this legend back by the time I need new ones 🙂. These are invincible, I have trusted them literally with my life scrambling, flying down hills from California to new England, and everywhere in between. Trail glove 1, 4, and 5 are the good ones. If you want true zero drop with extremely tough vibram to protect against rocks or other sharps. I'd pay three digits if they bring these back in the future.
