Merrell Gridway Canvas Black 6 M

I wore these shoes around 4 countries in Europe, walking all around on cobblestone streets, in and around castles and cathedrals, and they were great. EXCEPT for those awful, round shoelaces. They are the worst! Every step makes them loosen up, so you are always having to snug them up. It provides an excuse to sit down for a moment as you re-tie, but it is really annoying. Also, they come completely untied, so you are in danger of tripping yourself or someone else.The shoes look great, not like "gym" shoes, and they are comfortable even on swollen feet.But, if you plan to order these, do yourself a favor and buy a pair of decent laces at the same time.

I've come to trust this brand in the shoe did not let me down. I purchased it for a trip to Europe knowing I would need incredibly comfortable shoes but I didn't want to look like a tourist in clunky athletic shoes. I wore them with a very thin short sock and put many many miles of both walking and bicycling on the shoes and they never let me down. Comfortable with enough arch support. I am a true nine-and-a-half I never wear any other size and this 9 and 1/2 fit me perfectly. I wore them with leggings or with shorts and I've always felt like I looked stylish.

I bought a pair in 2017 before I traveled to Europe. I loved them so much for the comfort and support that I bought another pair same color. Now that I want to purchase a 3rd pair the style in unavailable. Please continue to manufacture these shoes. They are the BEST!!! Nothing compares .

Loved these shoes but did not fit my foot correctly. Make sure to get more than one size to try on. Great quality and love the look!

I don't usually write long reviews but I loved these, so here goes- Went on a 2 week trip to France and wore these the whole time! No blisters or pain in my arches (usually where I have trouble). The upper is very flexible which made them comfortable even when my feet swelled from all the walking and some light hiking. I wore them with a thin sock. They went with everything so I didn't look like a tourist, but had the comfort of tennis shoes. I did order some memory foam inserts (in one size smaller than the shoe) to increase the padding in the bottom and just placed the original inserts back on top for the arch support. Literally ordered 20 pairs of shoes to compare and these were the winners. They didn't even need breaking in. Definitely recommend as an investment for anyone looking for an attractive walking shoe.

The style of the shoe is what caught my eye. I was looking for a tennis shoe that was kinda prep and this shoe was it. It is just as attractive as the photos but stiff feeling through the sole of the foot. I ran into this some years back with a different pair of Merrel’s. They were so stiff and actually looked poorly crafted that I wasn’t upset when our new puppy chewed one up. I said never again would I buy their product but I did. Save your money. They look good but aren’t comfortable enough. It’s back to Sperry’s and Allbirds.

I love these shoes! I wore my first pair out and had a hard time finding these. They seemed to be sold out everywhere. They are very comfortable, but to be honest, I always replace the insoles on all my shoes with Super Feet. They fit perfectly and are rugged. I throw them in the wash periodically, but not the dryer.

I like these shoes. They're flexible as they're mostly fabric and the border is a "sock" like lip. They're roomy, so you can add your own inserts without a problem. They do have arch support and the sole is the vibram material Morrell is known for. I just have a complaint, and I have this same issue with a very different style of Merrill hiking shoes, which is the internal seams rubbing against my little toes, which make them very uncomfortable to wear all day. I have had to add "mole skin" adhesive patches to cover the seams on the inside so they don't rub but the bump is still there. This might be an issue particular to my foot because the seam happens to be exactly where it runs my little toe and other people might not have the same experience.Although the vibram sole makes these slip resistant, they're quite low and loose in the top (due to the stretchy sock like lip) so they're more of an everyday sneaker than a hiking or sporty shoe
