Why We Like The Merrell Nova 3 Hiking Shoe

The Nova 3— Merrell's best-selling trail running shoe—stands out for its trail-to-town versatility. With its lightweight construction, moderate cushioning, and everyday traction, we can wear the Nova as a trail running shoe or as a light hiking shoe or as a casual, outdoor lifestyle shoe. Updated for 2023, the 3rd edition includes more durable uppers to protect the tops of our feet, a new outsole design with moderate 4mm lugs, and softer midsoles with FloatPro Foam pods under the heel and forefoot for some added cushioning.

Mostly good shoes

Used as everyday shoes and for hiking. Very comfortable shoes with great grip. I wish the outsole was more durable as I got only three months of use from the tread.

Great shoe!

Excellent trail and walking shoe. Walked all over Paris. The last shoe I had made my achilles sore. Not these Nova 3’s

Comfortable but soles wear down fast

Very cushoned & bouncy. Can walk fast with ease. Comfortable. The sole is wearing down very fast, I wish they were twice as hard

Bad heel slip

This shoe slips down on my heel when I walk. I ordered the size I usually wear in Merrell and then tried a 1/2 size smaller. If I take a hard step backwards and plant my foot, they come off my foot entirely. I've never had a pair of shoes do this before. I will try to exchange them for a different shoe entirely

Awesome looking, great fitting

Great fit out of the box and true to size. My new favorite day hikers for the dusty trails of Central Oregon

Where did you take your Merrells? no where

why are you asking me for a review, you said to order a size down so i did but then they were a size too small, so i tried to exchange them, but you never sent me replacement shoes
