Why We Like The Chameleon 8 Stretch Hiking Shoe
The best part about hiking is venturing off the beaten path into the unknown, which demands gear we can count on to safely guide us there and back. Merrell’s Chameleon 8 Stretch Hiking Shoe implements rubber toe and heel caps to provide us with protection against rock deflections and prevent abrasions, keeping us feeling confident when exploring new terrain. Not to mention, the aggressively lugged Vibram outsole helps us stay upright and comfortable when the once-dusty trail turns wet and sloppy thanks to unexpected rainstorms.

These shoes are my salvation!
I was shooting a concert for Billy Idol at the Hoover Dam and one of his road crew had these shoes on… I asked him how they held up to tour life and he talked to me about these shoes for the next 30 minutes! He loves these shoes! So when I got back home I ordered myself a pair! I feel like they’re a little heavy but oh man do they feel good on my feet! I am recovering from plantar fasciitis and these issues are not only beneficial to me because of the excellent support, also they look pretty dang cool. I mean it, they are a great looking shoe!! I haven’t been hiking but I did shoot a concert at red rocks recently with them and they held up great! The abrasive dirt cleaned right off of them and they look brand new even after spending three days working at red rocks.

2Honest opinion
These are the most worn shoes out of the pair of 3 that I own. I have had these shoes for over a year and I still chose to wear them over some other shoes that I have.

Narrow Toe Box
Be aware, these have a very narrow toe box and are evidently built on a different last than their other shoes. They are also slightly smaller than the size would indicate.

Comfortable and durable
Comfortable and durable. I put many miles on my last pair over the course of two years. No hesitation replacing with another of the exact same type.

2nd Pair
This is my second pair - very comfortable, they do not slip on the foot, provide great traction when hiking, camping or doing chores

Nice but lace lock suks.
Love the arch and sole. Look original and feel very comfortable. But how does Merrell manage to make a garbage(I have a better word) lace lock system. Incredibly annoying.

Love them
Love this show, over the years I have probably bought 6 pairs of these and have loved every pair. To me it's like putting on a sock, they are so comfortable and they last about a year

Great pair of shoes
I wear these everyday, everywhere. They’re comfortable, have great traction, no hotspots after hours of hiking in the desert.
