Merrell Chameleon II Shoes with Stretch (For Women)

I would definitely recommend this to friends. It looks cool, it is pretty supportive. it has ankle support

I have got bunions on my feet so I need wide and comfortable footwear. These shoes are not wide but they are perfect for my feet. I do not buy anything but Merrells. End of story.

Ordered a size 6 after trying it [...] ( I normally wear size 6.5) . Shoe runs big because of the wide width. Very comfortable shoe. No need for breaking in. No blisters from an 8 mile steep hike. I would order a darker color for dirt not to show.

I love this shoe, I bought two pairs of Merrell shoes to wear on our overseas trip, now I need to decide which ones to take, oh well it looks like Im taking both.....

I cannot believe it! I was afraid I wasn’t going to survive the day… the people who said these shoes need little or no breaking-in were right! I have an extremely difficult time finding shoes that fit my boney, high-arched foot - particularly because it seems unusual for a 5'8" female to have a size 6 - 7 shoe size along with a medium frame (and that additional weight we seem to "find" once we hit 40). I wore these shoes on a hike to the top of the North Chalone Peak (3304' - Pinnacles National Monument), and had only worn them approximately 3 times on the treadmill prior to the hike - nowhere near what I would consider a "break-in period". These shoes are incredibly comfortable, durable, and lightweight. The cord allows for a more custom-fit, so they should work well for many width requirements - due to the sliding mechanism on the cords, it was easy to quickly adjust them for fit along the way. If I had to gripe about these shoes (and the only reason I am, is because this is a review), it would be that the cord is long when you pull it snug, and they’re kinda hard to pull on. The bright side of this is, the cord can easily be tucked under the lacing without any discomfort - it just might not be the prettiest look for those who are wearing them with style in mind (though I must admit the funky style is kinda cool, regardless). Also, the loop at the heel to pull the shoe on is fully functional and works great. The glove-like, stretchy ankle stays put and keeps out dirt, bugs, stickers, or any other "intruders" you might encounter. There is no slipping and sliding, whatsoever, in these shoes. The toe-bed was great for the descent down the mountain, and the shoe is very cushy inside. I normally wear a 6.5, but I went with a size 7 and coupled the shoes with the ‘Bridgedale Light Hiker Socks – CoolMax® for Women’ – what a perfect fit! I stepped in mud, walked on rocks, gravel, and dirt, and these shoes didn't fail me once! I got one tiny blister on my big toe, but so not worth mentioning - I highly recommend these shoes! (So much so, I plan to buy at least one more pair for the less dirt-laden, everyday adventures!) You can’t beat the price of these incredible shoes! Thanks, Sierra Trading Post, and Merrell! You saved the day! :o)

These shoes are really comfortable to wear every day and anywhere.

The way the shoes wrap around your feet makes them very comfortable. I almost do not feel like I'm wearing them at all. It's also very convenient not having to tie the laces. I have no cons about the shoes so far, only pros. Very happy with them.

Just too small for my wide foot. I returned them for a half size larger. Hopefully, the next pair will fit because I really like the look of the shoe.

When I pulled the cord to tighten the laces, I have a long cord which needs to be tucked in now.

I was delighted to find another pair of these Merrells, I wore the last pair for almost a year & 1/2 and the only thing that finally made me throw them away was I wore out the heel area inside the shoes. These shoes never gave me blisters even when they were new. Love, love, love these durable shoes.
