These have amazing grip. Super comfortable and fits true to size, but also still feel roomy. My toes did not feel confined or restricted. I like how they are light weight so it doesn’t feel like you are wearing weights on you feet. Form fitting so they look cute even with jeans on. The tongue is attached so it doesn’t slip to the side while you are hiking, something I love to have on any shoe.
One thing to watch out for is that it does not come in wide width for most colors and sizes. It is a little on the higher price point for hiking shoes. But as they say, you get what you pay for. I would 100% recommend these and any other Merrell hiking shoes.
