Why We Like The Nova 2 Hiking Shoe
We like how the Nova 2 Hiking Shoe feels like a running shoe when we need to move quickly but still has the stability of a hiking boot when things get dicey. As we push to the summit or navigate a new trail, these shoes let us stay focused on our goals. We appreciate the lugged Vibram TC5+ outsole carrying us up and over sloppy trails and loose scree fields with confident traction, while the mesh lining helps us fend off sweaty situations by promoting a continuous airflow.

Great for work.
These are my go-to's for my bartending job. I can wear them all day, even for double shifts and my feet feel great.

Great walking shoe until...
Great walking shoe until the insole started slipping back towards the heal leaving the toes to hang over and making them quite uncomfortable. Until then I was loving them.

Fell apart with light use
Insole keep coming out of shoe and sliding while wearing them. Also the fabric split open on the side near the ball of my feet.

Gravel approved!
Excellent gravel runners. I was in need of a good durable running shoe for gravel roads and this pair feel like I’m running with memory foam compared to my old shoes. Great shoes!

Great except for durability
I love these shoes when they are in good shape, but I’ve had 2 pairs now and they do not last long on the type of Rocky Mountain terrain I am normally on. I got my 2nd pair free from Merrell after my first didn’t even make it through a full summer hiking season before the soles starting deteriorating. The replacement pair they sent did even worse, only making it to the beginning of August before becoming unusable. It’s such a shame because I love the shoes but I don’t want to have to replace them every 3-4 months. Maybe the Nova 3’s are better, but I’ll probably look at other brands.

Love my Nova 2's
I have two pairs of Nova 2's. They're my favorite Merrell shoes, and I have a pretty good assortment of footwear from Merrell. The Nova 2's are extremely light and comfortable. I wear them at work and outdoors on light trails. The Vibram soles provide a nice secure grip on all surfaces. They have the look I like and are just a great all around sneaker value.

Comfy but..
One of the most comfortable shoes I have purchased…but have hiked in them twice and showing some signs of wear. Not cool. I hope they hold up.
