Outstanding Fit and Comfort
As soon as I slipped these shoes on, I could feel the difference from what I was wearing (SOB-some other brand). The arches felt some much stronger. Walking across our gravel drive was as if I was on concrete.

Awesome shoes dude
They just came in today… I tried them on and they have a very comfortable fit. Very stylish. This is my second pair. I bought a pair three years ago and figured I buy another pair.

Arch support different
This was one of my favorite pair of shoes. I bought a pair over 8 years ago and they were the most comfortable shoe I owned. When I purchased a pair recently for some reason the arch was starting partially on my heel leaving an uncomfortable feel. I tried multiple sizes to try to alleviate the issue to no eval. Unfortunately I will have to move on to a different hiking shoe.

Buy better
The chameleon is a fine looking shoe. I have owned a few pairs, however, the quality is definitely lacking to say the least, particularly the interior heel area which almost seems like a joke. With very little wear, the stitching and cheap lining literally fall apart. What you end up with is a fine looking shoe with an annoying torn up aggravating heal that you don't wear. Why can't you just build a better shoe and charge more for it,,, looks aren't everything, build better.

I love these shoes
I just purchased my 3rd pair. They are very comfortable and they are my everyday shoe. I love that they slip on and the traction is wonderful. My first pair lasted about 7 years. My current pair is about 3 years old and my 3rd pair is waiting for their adventure. I’m sure there will be a 4th pair in my future.

They live up to their name!
The always reliable Chameleon! I've been wearing these shoes for many years. Definitely the best all around shoe for comfort, support, and utility! Love 'em!

Great for HVAC work!
I’m an HVAC technician and bought these to wear on the job. I’ve been wearing them for a month now and they’re holding up great. They really are waterproof…so much so that if it happens to rain or I sweat a lot, all the moisture travels down my legs into the shoes, where it’s trapped unfortunately. But as far as traversing wet grass or puddles, they do keep the water out. As for longevity, only time will tell. I fully intend to buy another pair when these wear out.

Boy vs. Volcano
Have been wearing Merrell’s for longer than I can remember. I always get a new pair before a grand adventure (Zion NP, Yellowstone NP, etc). This time two Costa Rican Volcanoes. One was medium difficulty and the other up and down, rocks and roots in the rainy season. Having a solid base to help keep my balance made a difference in a place where there would be no rescue in a bad fall. Go walk the world it can change your life.
