Merrell Men's Annex Trak Low Hiking Shoe

Comfortable & nice looking walking trainers.Fit nicely with tight laces.Look expensive and sturdy.Only ever worn them in the street going to the Pubs.Can worn with jeans,walking trousers,etc.I actually like them very much.

Really poor quality for Merrell shoes. I’ve had a pair of annex trax shoes before (older style) and they lasted over 2 years with constant use for work and pleasure.This pair hasn’t lasted 7 months (with reduced wear due to covid so probably about 3-4 months of normal use) with a spilt at the upper and sole join on the right shoe. Seeing other comments this seems to be common for this style which is a massive shame as they are really comfy and lightweight and I can happily wear them for 12 hours with no complaints. I really hope Merrell sort it out/is only a batch problem because these really are so useful for work and pleasure.I contacted Amazon through the app and it was easy to get a refund for them. I will buy another pair and give it another go as I love the shoes. Hope I’m not here commenting again in 6 months...

I've bought Merrel walking shoes/boots several times before and never had an issue. These particular ones are very comfortable, I like them a lot. Unfortunately after only a month of regular wear they have split along the side. Very disappointing.I'm revising this review with this addition; despite the product being faulty I have received some simply superb customer service in responce to my complaint which has entirely resolved my issue. Due to this I would now not hesitate to do business with this seller again. I may even reorder the shoes as I was assured it was a one off manufacturing defect. They really are very comfortable shoes.Truely exemplary service!

I bought these to replace a pair of Merrell Blaze Low walking shoes that were just plain worn out! I chose the Annex Trak Low as a replacement as it's a slightly lighter weight shoe than the Blaze, and I didn't need the added weight of the waterproof feature since I proof my shoes with a water repellent spray, this works fine in all but the wettest conditions. I walk 2 km to and from work each day and wanted a shoe that was also comfortable enough to wear all day at work.The first thing I do with a walking shoe is to replace the fitted insole with a good quality sports insole, and I simply reused the Superfeet Green insoles from my old pair of Blazes. The Superfeet Green is the best sports insole I've found, and although they're pricey (around £30), they are super comfortable and they last forever! I also replaced the standard flat laces with a better quality round sports lace.Fitting wise, I take a UK 10 / EU 44 and wear my shoes with a normal cotton sock. Even with the slightly thicker Green insoles, the size 10 which I ordered was an excellent fit. My feet are quite broad and the width fitting was also good. If you plan to wear a thicker walking sock then I would recommend going for a half size bigger. Note that after a few km of walking, the shoes do tend to "give" a little if at first they feel slightly tight.I own several pairs of Merrell sports and lightweight walking shoes and the Annex Trak Low hasn't disappointed me.

Hopefully you can see from the sole wear these have had little use over the past year ( 3 months of which I was resting a broken leg) . Bought because I chose to return to Merrell after about 10 years with another brand. Will be returning to that other brand. Merrell quality is rubbish. Very disappointed and I appear to be one of very many here. DO NOT BUY if you depend on good footwear for walking. I bought these for casual wear and they didn’t last 14 months of light use occasionally. I also thought the discomfort I experienced was my problem…..looking at other comments I’m glad to see it the shoes, not me. Hope this helps you.

It can be dangerous! if you slip while walking in the rain or walk on snow or ice! The shoes are sturdy but the soles are slippery.

Nice walking shoes, comfy waterproof good looking and stylish

...and falling apart. Not great for the price. Who do I complain too? Comfortable otherwise, while they lasted.Update: The rating is for the shoe BUT I managed to speak to Amazon customer services and despite this falling outside the 30 return policy they understood the issue, sent me a return label and issued a full refund on return of the defective item. Amazon get 5/5 for brilliant customer services. I spend a small fortune with them so I guess I'm valued too. But the service was great. Thank you for understanding Amazon. 👍
