Kaua'i kicks
This shoe was selected to be my primary shoe for vacation because of its features. Lightweight and comfortable it provided the support needed while exploring several hiking trails and walking paths from sea to summit. Great quality and fit. Would highly recommend.

Older version was much better
Really disappointed in these shoes. I have a prior version of Merrell Novas that are very comfortable. These Nova 3's put an undo amount of pressure on the inside of your knees. Maybe there is more padding on the outside edge of the shoes than the inside of the shoe? Not sure, but I really wanted ...

Great fit
Great comfortable shoes with good grip for my recent trip to Colorado
Great lightweight dry weather hikers
Lightweight yet sturdy and supportive hikers. Very cushioning and comfortable footbed and sole. Breathable fabric that doesn't allow to much dust intrusion. I think these are my favorite Merrells.
Great All-Around Shoes
My favorite all around shoe so far. Great for running, hiking, and general wear. I'm on my third pair.
Very stylish looking, comfortable shoe.
I purchased these a few weeks ago, overall I'm pleased with the fit and comfort. The only issue I'm having is the heels slip quite a bit when walking, feels like my foot wants to lift out . Don't think I would buy this style shoe again
Great fit/comfort
My son wore these while camping/hiking in Zion and he loved them. Great fit and comfort.

Very comfortable and...
Very comfortable and very good shoe however I noticed one issue. The insoles of the non-gortex model tends to move towards the back of the shoe forcing you to secure it with tape to keep it in place. This is the second pair to have this issue. My newest pair was received 4 days ago and the insoles are already moving out of place
