Merrell Refuge Ultra Gore-Tex® Trail Shoes - Waterproof, Nubuck (For Men)

worn for a day just around town but can see they are very comfortable, no break in time, good support, will wear in muddy & wet enviornments no problem for Merrells

This is a well-made shoe that's comfortable and great looking. The shoes do run smaller than expected, but this might be because it's primarily a hiking shoes which might require a snug fit (just guessing). So buy a half size larger than you wear. My other slight problem is that the laces on this shoes keep coming undone during regular use, I am hoping this changes after they are broken in, but this is not a negative for the shoe, because laces can be easily replaced.

Be sure to order a 1/2 size. Merrell shoes are great and this one did not let me down. Love the look too.

Shoes feel too wide, and that is before they are broken in, so they would feel worse after a few good hikes. I pulled the laces as tight as I could but it did not fix the problem. If you have a wide foot, these would be perfect for you though.

i have been going for 2 hour hikes to break these in and they feel great. my feet are happy. no blisters or soreness when im done. they are one of the most comfortable shoe ive ever had and they look awesome, i get lots of compliments.
