Why We Like The Merrell Nova 3 Mid GTX Hiking Boot
Merrell's best-selling trail running shoe for men now comes in an over-the-ankle hiker version, the Nova 3 Mid Waterproof Hiking Boot. More of a hybrid sneaker-hiker than a traditional hiking boot, the Nova has a light-duty build for fast hikes, urban hikes, and everyday wear. There's a waterproof bootie for protection if things get soggy or snowy and a Vibram rubber outsole to make sure we don't slip on the trail or the urban jungle as we're out hiking, walking the dog, or wandering out and about. It's a lightweight alternative for those who prefer a more sneaker-like look and feel to a sturdy hiking and backpacking boot.

Extremely Comfortable
Lightweight, good ankle support, very comfortable walking shoe. Have not yet experienced in rainy conditions (reason for 4 stars) but protects feet in tall, wet grass. I’m glad I tried the Merrell Nove Mid 3 because tying low cut shoe strings across the top of my feet is uncomfortable. Really like the olive green color.

Super comfortable but not waterproof
I bought these shoes -nova 3 mid -waterproof-about 500 miles ago which for me is about 3 1/2 months. They are the most comfortable boots I’ve ever worn. They are great for my plantar fasciitis. The sole is super durable. Their one drawback is that they are not waterproof at all. They are minimally water resistant if water is splashed on them, but if you step into a creek, that is deeper than the sole, you are wet almost immediately. Since I bought them for their waterproof capability, that has been a huge disappointment. I would buy them again in a second if they would keep my feet dry. As it is, I’m not sure what I’m going to do next.

Tackle all day adventure with comfort!
Extremely light and comfortable. Just got back from a long weekend of hiking in the Colorado Rockies. Excellent for those all day, all-terrain hikes!

Too narrow for me
I’m sure these are great shoes but they are too narrow for my wide feet. I was going to return them, but then wasn’t sure, so wore them on a walk. Should have known better. Have since realise Merrill have wide cuts in a bunch of their models so will look out for that next time.

Cozy
Soooooo comfortable. Not great grip on wet surfaces. Not a ton of ankle support. Very comfortable!

Great for light stuff.
These are much lighter and cooler than the Moab's I have been wearing for years. I do a lot of miles a week at the gym and these are great for that as well as everyday casual. I wouldn't recommend them as a replacement for Moabs for heavy duty hiking. I think they would be disappointing in that regard. They fit great and I find them quite comfortable and I can't say that about very many shoes or boots. True to size fit.

Comfortable, Breathable, and Versatile
Very comfortable boot after about a month, easily became a great work, casual, distance walk footwear, I’d easily buy another one if I had the cash, only gripe i have with the boot is that there isn’t any wide sizes.

Comfortable and breathable
At first it was a tiny bit too tight but i’d say about a month in, it became the most comfortable shoe/boot i’ve ever worn. Now I go 10+ hours wearing them each day to work when i don’t have to wear work boots and I wear them for casual wear. Only slight gripe I have with the boots is that there isn’t any wide sizes.

Love them
From the deserts of Mui ne to the islands of Bali and the jungles around Kuala Lumpur I loved these.
