Fit was excellent, poor durability.
I usually wear a size 13 but because this model runs small, I bought size 14 instead. The shoe was very tight and difficult to put on, but once on my foot, it fit great and felt great. The problem I had was premature wear: the sole wore down very quickly and after a month, it was no longer wearable because it had a worn strip on the inside left.

Alpine 83
I have a high instep and could not get my foot in the shoe. I did like the looks of the shoe. I have four pairs of the Moab 3 that I wear everyday and very happy with.

Bad design.
Well-made shoes, like all Merrells. Whoever design the fixed, one-piece ought to be institutionalized. I could slip my foot into the shoe because of the minuscule opening.

Design flaw? Not durable.
I wanted to like these and did at first but within a couple weeks there was a noticeable tear on the side of the shoe. I thought it was just me but then I saw that there are similar reviews on here with a tear in the exact same location. So they are not very durable and appear to have a noticeable flaw and develop holes in one particular place almost immediately if you plan to wear them on a regular basis. On both sides of the shoe there are a about 5 small holes that not sure if it's just the aesthetic design or for breathability but it apparently creates a weak point in the outer material and will wear through pretty quickly. The inner part of the shoe is still intact so thankfully I don't have an open hole where water gets in but it still makes the shoes look worn and old even though i just bought them. A bit disappointed overall.

Poor functionality
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
Reasonably well made, but the lack of tongue makes the a pain to put on.

Not comfortable - awkward feeling - and inconvenie
I bought these and they are perhaps the ONLY uncomfortable Merrell's I've ever owned. They run small so I had to return and size up. They're also incredibly narrow and feel like they're squeezing the sides of my food. And the arch inside doesn't feel like it's in the correct place. OH - and the weird sock thing that you have to slide your foot into is SO hard to 'slip' on. You have to seriously sit there and push your foot in with both hands. Not the typical Merrill that I've always loved.

Exceptional shoe with some quirks.
These are extremely lightweight and comfortable for me. I’m pretty thin though, and I can see why some say they have trouble fitting with wider feet/ankles. The shoe has no tongue, so it doesn’t splay open as far as other shoes. If you have big ankles and/or wear your tennies wide open & untied, this shoe will not work out for you. This is for people who cinch & tie their shoes so they can be active without them falling off. If you’re going to give these a shot, know that they are oddly small in length relative just about any other shoe of the same size. I read this in reviews, so I ordered a half-size up & my toes are still right at the end of the shoe. Full size up recommended.

Dump the slip-on style, not for me
Pretty much disappointed in this version of the Alpine sneaker. Had seen other reviews that the slip-on design is darn near impossible to get on. I'm near 70 and worked up quite a sweat just getting them on. Also had to use the thinnest socks. I have an older pair of Alpine sneakers and love them; they have held up extremely well but are showing some wear and wanted to update to newer ones, but not these ones.

Please bring back the original alpine sneakers. These new ones are terrible.
