Nice shoes

Very comfortable and durable shoe. Bought them to take on a trip to Colorado. Warm and waterproof. Also very comfortable.

Love 'em so far

These are essentially "slip ons" and I didn't think slip ons would fit snugly enough for hiking, but they seem to. Merrills fit me better than other brands and this one is no exception.

Busted open on a hike

The shoe busted on me during a hike. My heal kept popping out and I had no traction or support anymore. The way it busted, I have no clue how it occurred but it wasn’t a gradual tear. It ripped open on a step. More like it busted open down the whole sole.

Great Little Shoe - Chameleon 8

I am on my second pair. The first pair made it to several 7-mile days at PGA events and took me through Southern Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, western Europe and Patagonia to Cape Horn. Working on the itinerary for this pair that will include many US locations and another trip to Europe??

Chameleon 7's were much more comfortable

The 8's are nothing like the Chameleon 7's, which I loved and really wanted another pair. I had 3 pairs of 7's and they were great, lightweight and really flexible. The 8's feel like I am wearing a work boot, really rigid, little flex, and tight feeling, but not in a good way. I have bunions and the 7's conformed to them without putting pressure, which is why I liked them so much. 8's put a lot of pressure on my bunions making them uncomfortable to wear after a few minutes.

Merrell quality lacking

Shoe, Chameleon Black/Grey waterproof I've been using merrell products of some type for 25+ years. Have always been more than happy with quality, fitment, and value for your dollar. Work construction all my life so my shoes take a beating. Over the last 4-5 years I have noticed the material and construction of my shoes going south. Pairs that would last me 2 or so years are just not capable of it anymore. Current pair (13 months old) has a stitching failure in the back outer heal area. Pair prior (mid height waterproof boot) completely cracked apart after 12 months. Hard to say it isn't quality control issue when the pair before that lasted 2.5+ years. Only reason I had to get new was because I completely wore out the soles. Sorry to say this but it maybe time to move onto another brand.

Comfortable, warm and mobile

Fit like a glove for me. I love using them for tail walks or shoveling snow.
