What owners single out
In their words
“I love running smooth to rocky trails in this shoe! I can run in it daily without any blisters or sore feet. The cushion is great for big days out on the trail! The Vibram traction and lugs make it great for slippery trails too.”

“Very comfortable, but be warned, they are more narrow than what you'd expect from Merrell. It seems they went for more of a "performance fit" than their usual wide toe box. At least for my feet, there was room to partially splay my toes on the inner side, but my outer toes were much more constricted.”
