MerrellMen's Alverstone Hiking Shoe

The footbed in these shoes are awesome but the top section is slightly uncomfortable and will take a little breaking in. Merrill shoes are always really good. Just a little breaking in with this pair.

Merrill always manufactures a good shoe. I have had this pair for a few months. Hiking beach areas as well as mountain trails. Comfortable and durable.

Cumple con lo esperado

I had my last pair of Merrell shoes for over 3 years before they started tearing. I tried other brands but none were as comfortable as my Merrells. Unfortunately the exact shoe was discontinued, so I went through all the options on amazon and ordered 3 styles: this, the waterproof Moab 2, and the All Out Blaze Aero. This one was the best all-around of the 3. I do not hike that much, but I like the support and traction for whenever I do. For the most part, these are just daily shoes for me to wear to work. So YMMV depending on your desire for the shoe. The Blaze was best for me, but I kept the Alverstone as well for winter hiking and snowy days and to prolong the life of both. The Alverstones aren't as comfy as my old ones, but they're pretty close.For comparison sake: The Moab 2 was a bit narrower and tighter feeling in the standard width and definitely felt larger and heavier. For only hiking, they might be the better option, but I returned them. The Blaze was super light and comfy, but I hadn't realized that the material was mostly a mesh which means water would go right into it. At first that was a disqualifier, but when I realized the number of times that would be an actual issue for me was very small, I decided to keep them and they are my daily shoe now.

Shoes are stiff. Not super comfortable after extended wear. Allows ankle to roll on rough ground.
