User Reviews
Merrell's are my go-to hiking & gardening shoes. They fit my feet better than comparable brands, so I tend to stick with them despite usually ending up disappointed by their claims of waterproofing. Usually I order waterproof Moabs & know they won't be waterproof for more than a day or two, which is really lame.I decided to give the Antoras a try, and I'm glad I did. Here's why:- They fit as expected. I was even able to insert a pair of fleece padded arch supports into them (after removing the stuck-on Merrell insert...why are you sticking them on Merrell? Please stop.) & they still fit well barefoot. Then I put on a pair of thick socks with the inserts in, loosened the laces a bit & they still fit.- I intentionally walked through thick, wet grass with my dogs & got them very wet. At first I was concerned they were leaking through the top, which is breathable. But it seems they're just getting cold. (The grass was wet with frosty ice, so it was chilly out. May need to upgrade to an insulated pair IF these prove to truly be waterproof in the long run.)- I don't think there's any "break in" period required. Out of the box, with my support inserts inside, I went for a 3 mile walk that took me through grass, down hills, up hills, over asphalt & along a packed gravel trail. It was dry, so I didn't get to further test the waterproofing. All of this, and my feet felt great at the end of the walk. And let's be clear, I have terrible feet that take a beating.They're very light weight. If you run, you'd probably enjoy them. They have thick tread, which will be great for hiking. But with being light, they feel more like runners than hikers. Very cushy.Pretty sure I'm done with heavier Moabs given how much more comfortable these are & the fact that (so far) they are water proof. I'm holding my judgement on that until I've worn them longer on a very wet day. And I will be back to change this review if they prove to leak.
Very comfy
They are very lite. I thought they were going to have more support and cushion based on the picture, but I had to put an insert in. My feet without the insert were kind of achy by the end of my 4-mile hike.
Comfortable from the first day. I love that the toe box is shaped like a natural foot!! Everything is perfect about this boot.I'm going to buy a 2nd pair. The black would be perfect but I don't really care for the pink accents.PS. I've been hiking Altra but had to stop due to achilles problems. This is by far better and the toe box is natural for the shape of toes.
No break in period required. Agree with other reviewers to go half size up.
