Merrell Siren Sport GTX XCR Shoe - Women's

I have tested this during these heavy rainy days in Costa Rica, and I am simply impressed by the waterproof capabilities of these guys! They are also super comfy and lightweight. I got them have size up just in case I need to use thicker socks sometime. But I think they are very true to size. I am so glad I found them!!

this is my second pair of the Siren Sport - and i am still a huge fan. The gore tex keep my tootsies dry and the foot bed cushions supremely well. I used these on a three day backpacking trip in the Uintas: my pack was about 35lbs. and my feet felt awesome - even after 8 hrs of hiking cobly, bouldery trails! The laces are super durable - my old shoes still have the original laces (and i am not easy on my shoes at all) and the soles will probably outlast the uppers by decades.....

Got these for my wife, and she loves them, they're a nice burly shoe built to last.

I love Merrells. But if you are looking for support, look elsewhere. The laces don't keep the shoes from becoming loose even when you double knot them. The traction is fantastic and they are well vented but I found myself constantly having to stop and tighten the fit during a recent hiking trip in Hawaii. Don't even think of running in them for any length of time. I've relegated them to my 1-2 hour hikes. A little disappointing.

I have owned and currently own several pair of Merrell shoes. They are my "go to" brand. Always awesome, always a size 9, always waterproof. Maybe it was just a defect in this particular shoe but I wore them in a rainstorm and they failed me. water started seeping in around the toe area and it didn't take long for my whole foot to be swimming. Luckily, I was in the city. If I had been out hiking my feet would have suffered for sure.

My wife loves these shows. Repeatedly calls them the most comfortable shows she has ever worn. I bought them for her before she took off to Africa. They have plenty of miles on them and she plans to put plenty more on them this summer

these hiking shoes are awesome. they are a perfect winter hiking shoe, and also keep my feet dry and warm when trudging through snow and ice to the grocery store, or yoga class. so great to see a Gore tex low hiker that looks sleek and fast!

These have to be the single most uncomfortable pair of shoes I've ever owned. The mid-sole and the "cushion" of this shoe crapped out in about a month. Now I feel like I'm walking on the rubber soles of the shoe because there is no cushioning whatsoever. The rubber toe-cap of this shoe started separating from the shoe material after the second wearing. The separation hasn't gotten progressively worse, but it still bugs me to look down and see the rubber looking flappy. The support webbing and strapping hit my feet in all the wrong places when walking downhill and are just painful. And I wouldn't even consider trail running in them. I'd return them if I could, but didn't buy them through Backcountry (lesson learned!!).

great shoe, warm, dry, and amazingly lightweight!

These shoes are amazing. When I first took them out of the box, they seemed way too light to be waterproof. But they are. They are super comfortable, very breatheable and yet great in all kinds of winter weather. I wound up wearing these doing everything from traversing slippery cobblestone streets in Europe to digging my car out of feet of snow and slush in this year's horrible Northeast winter. But they've transitioned to the spring weather too. My feet are able to breathe during hiking trips. They've been great through everything. I also find them a bit more stylish than the very chunky hiking boots of other companies, these are more sporty and can easily be paired with jeans and a T or sweater. I wound up getting rid of all my other hiking shoes I'd been holding onto after getting my second pair of Siren Sports.

I love these shoes, but i recommend trying them on. The first pair i bought ran a little small and took some time to break in before I stopped getting blisters. The next two pairs I bought (in the same size) fit just fine.

I got them for travel in Europe. While overseas I found myself feeling a bit like an unfashionable American walking around trendy Europe in my regular running shoes, thus the next time I went, I opted for the merrells, just as comfortable and practical, but just a little bit trendier, I fit right in be it on walking the streets, dining out or going out at night.
I have several pairs and now wear them all time for running errands and casual wear.
I still pledge my full devotion to my Asics when it comes to distance running though.

Ordrered these for the girlfriend, she really likes them. She wears 7.5 or 8, and we had to return the 7.5 (too small). So it sounds like everyone is saying the same thing: if in doubt go a half size up.

Went hiking all over Costa Rica and the shoes held up with no slips or falls! Still very comfortable after living in them for 2 whole weeks.

These shoes are very comfortable and light. I had been looking for some approach shoes for a while (I am very picky) and I am happy with these. The fit is standard and they seem to be holding up very well.

I love these shoes. Very comfortable and I can't live without the gortex! They are a fantastic durable shoe

I've had these shoes for about 6 months now and they've been great. No break-in time needed! I've worn them up a wet and rocky creek bed with NO slipping and my feet remained totally dry. I've even been wearing them on the slippery ice this winter. After a 12-mile hike, my feet felt great and I could have kept on going! Like another reviewer mentioned when going down an incline, my toes become a little squished and the laces loosen a bit, but nothing that tightening them up can't fix. I did need to buy a 1/2 size larger than what I normally wear. Overall, a great shoe and I am very satisfied with my purchase.

The lacing starting at the shoe's toe is part of what makes this such an attractive shoe. For me, it was the reason to return the shoe. The lacing support pressed on the joint where my big toe joins my foot. Relacing and changing socks were no solution.

i had to send mine back. apparently the goretex is just a hair shy of a half size smaller than the plain siren sport.

These are exactly what I expected them to be. My foot is about a 9 1/2 to a 10, preferably a ten, and the 10 fit well. And I can wear thick socks with them. My only complaint is that the shoe laces become loosened during the day and I have to retie them but I'm in college so I walk around campus all day. It's no big to retie them but I still have to.

I just bought them. So, didn't have chance to test them in different conditions. However, I wore them during my hiking trip in national parks in Upper NY state. One time, I slipped and stepped into muddy water. However, water didn't penetrate. So, I'm happy with it's waterproofness. But I made mistake with the size. I generally wear 6 1/2, so I went for this size. However, my shoes are too tight. I would advise to go for half size bigger.

The shoe is cute and seems like it could take a pounding. However, it has no arch support for someone with high arches. That is why it is going back. As to size: I am usually a 7.5 or 8 and the 8 fit fine.

They are the most comfortable shoes ever made on this planet! I love them so much, I bought 2 pairs (orange and tan/wine). I'd like to buy another pair but I'll wait til they go on sale!

This is a really great shoe. Good arch support, comfortable, and great looking. I had to size up one-half size.

I love wearing them. They are very comfortable. I went 1/2 size up and wear a little thicker sock.

I bought these shoes for work and they are great! Comfortable, tough, and water proof. I did go with 1/2 a size up. My normal size was a little tight.

I got these for Christmas and I can't wait to get out on the trails!
I can say what I know so far, they are wicked comfortable! They feel like they were made for my foot. They are very light weight and feel like I have slippers on!

They where for my girl friend, and i see i should have read some more reviews. the ones about the 1/2 size up anyway. cause they are a little too tight for her. thats a shame with such a nice tracking shoe, but hope they can stretch a bit. sending them all the way back to the states is too much hassle... (From Denmark)

great, waterproof, and light! i listened to other reviews and ordered 1/2 size up- i DO NOT recommend doing this; GTX does not seem to affect sizing. should have ordered my regular size.

I bought these to go hiking in the North-eastern US. I found them to be more than adequate except when going back down the mountain, the lacing doesn't give enough support to keep your feet from sliding to the front, so my toes were a bit squenched, so I had to take breaks and tighten the laces. That is my only complaint though, they are amazing shoes! I just need to learn to make a tighter knot :)

o yeah, and they fit true to size for me, I tried on a few different sizes and I bought the ones that were true to size
