Merrell Moab Ventilator Hiking Shoe - Women's Taupe, 8.5

These are the shoes I use for my everyday needs. I walk around in them, I work out in them - I wear them almost everyday. These shoes are so comfortable, that if you wear them enough, you won't want to go back to flimsy popular things. They roll your foot along the outside, taking a lot of pressure off of the ball and allowing women to walk in a more comfortable, natural way. I rarely have very sore feet, even if I have a very busy day.

I bought a pair of these for my mom (she has a bazillion feet problems) and these shoes have actually helped her with a lot of those. She can stand up longer, she never trips while she's walking, and her feet are much less sore at the end of the day.

I have worn this brand/model of shoe for about 5 years now. I buy a new pair every year. I will warn that if you wear them enough, and especially if you get every once in a while lazy and just jam your feet in without untying the laces, then there is a little plastic ankle...Read more

I always wear Merrells to work. These have great support AND cushion. I've learned to buy a half size larger for a better fit.

I bought these based on the other reviews on Amazon, and while I'm not as blown away as some purchasers, I'm pretty satisfied with these shoes as a whole. They aren't as comfortable as I would have liked, but I think that is more a case of my foot neuromas than with the shoe itself. They are well constructed, give my feet pretty good support, and best of all have a lot of toe room. When I get my new orthotics I think the comfort level will improve. I would really recommend these shoes to all.
