Merrell Waterpro Maipo Water Shoe - Men's

Item #MER0088 | 2 in Stock
2 Star Rating

Horrible lacing system

By Ranked #669 - Kayak Clothing May 30, 2009

The Merrell Waterpro Maipo Water Shoe fit great, worked really well in the water but has one MAJOR design flaw, the lacing system is horrible. The design looks like a good idea initially allowing a lot of options for fit and adjust ability. The problem is how flimsy the lacing system is there are no eyelets and the lace goes through an adjustable strap/webbing system. After 3 weeks of use the shoe lace wore completely through the strap/web. After my experience with the Merrell Waterpro Maipo Water Shoe I can not recommend it for purchase.
