Men's Merrell HYDROTREKKER Water Flame Orange Shoes - Athletic Footwear Review

After about 10 wears in easy terrain, each about 1-2 hours tour, parts of the shoe sole come loose, but what is even worse: these shoes are extremely slippery on damp or wet ground, completely unsuitable on stones, climbing/ladders, night - and artificial stones, grass, wooden floors, it doesn't matter - and life is at risk on via ferrata because the soles offer no grip at all when wet. I slipped and sprained my right wrist. When the ground is dry, they offer good grip and are comfortable to…

The tread on these shoes fell apart after a weekend of hiking (photo attached) when I only used them for kayaking 3 times and a 2 mile loop on the trail (there were some smooth river rocks but no nicks). I used other hiking shoes throughout the site while these shoes dried. The fit and feel of these boots were great but I was really shocked at how quickly and completely they fell apart because I've had Merrells before and really liked them.

At first I was very happy with these shoes. They feel great out of the box and fit like a glove. First impressions from walking around the neighborhood were good. Comfortable, airy and very light. Traction is EXCELLENT on dry ground and even better in wet/slippery conditions. The main downside is the glue they use on the bottom to hold the sole in place. It hasn't even been two days. First day of tubing in Frio. Very calm water and virtually no rocks to climb or dodge. Shoes have been soaked in

We bought them for our trip to Costa Rica. They were perfect for hiking in the rain and exploring waterfalls and water-filled caves. They feel nice when wet and dry pretty quickly! The water runs down the sides very easily and they are very light and flexible. We've used them in mud, rivers with branches and rocks, and all kinds of trails. We haven't had any grip issues and will use them again. Great investment so we can enjoy our trip!

The bottom of the boot fell apart, had to send mine back. Don't buy this. Merrell must call them back and pay the money back to everyone who bought them. Stay away. I will say that all other Merrell shoes I have ever owned and still have are great.

This product was chosen for its reputation, outsole and ability to shed water. For the first time parts of the sole came off on a muddy trail. On the second water-soaked track, most of the sole came off and part of the tread began to break off, leaving an orange color on the dirty track. The soles of both shoes were damaged. I ordered this through Revain and I know they do not control the quality of individual items. But Merrell has a great reputation and I was very surprised and disappointed…

The shoes are comfortable, but after a week (I have 3 pairs that I change) the tread on the sole began to fall off. Now large pieces of the sole fall off. I have never experienced that with any other Merrell shoe.

I bought these shoes primarily for kayak fishing. They work great, drain and dry quickly and last but not least they provide good shade so I don't burn my feet!

Very comfortable shoes but the sole sucks. I go fishing in streams. Merrell never let me down wrong. Til today. After only a few fishing trips (maybe 10 miles) the soles came off and almost half of the little cleats were worn down the whole way. I am very disappointed in Merrell. I used to understand that you have to pay for quality, so I used Merrells a lot. Now they seem to have gone the way of everyone else. Sell junk at a high price just because they have a good reputation.

Normally I have the size L or 42.5. 44 now also fits in width at the front of the toes and with insoles. Fits after I finally had to return some shoes unfortunately.

Great design. It's an ultra-light shoe with a sole that offers excellent traction and a dense mesh upper that dries and dries quickly. I usually wear a size 10 1/2 but a 9 1/2 fits me. They are usually big. The laces allow you to tighten it tightly. I looked at a few for my rainy season trip to Panama but this was the clear favorite.

return of the shoe. They were comfortable, but after a few trips, I took off my right boot and noticed the tread on the sole was coming off. I haven't decided yet whether to try again or not.

The shoes feel comfortable and breathe well, however, after a few uses, the sole comes apart. For the price I expected something more durable. I have another pair or merrel boots that have lasted a few years but these let me down after just a week.

I've been wearing them for less than a week and the rubber on the sole of the shoe is already coming off. I bought them for a trip to China next week and now I have to put up with it. The shoes would have been great but they were already falling apart.

The shoes are comfortable, I really liked them at first, but after the first days on vacation in the Middle East, the treads began to peel off. I've run on rocky and gravel roads, but the roads weren't that rough, so the shoes had to withstand those conditions. I used shoe goo to glue them back on but didn't have a chance to put them back on. However, I am a bit disappointed in them.

Perfect shoes for light hiking, kayaking and just damn comfortable shoes. Excellent stability in water. I have no complaints

Bought a pair of Merrell Hydrotrekker shoes for a trip to Croatia. At the start of the ride, part of the tread came loose and detached. Judging by other comments, this is an issue with this shoe. Would not recommend this purchase; See attached photo.

Bought these to take on a hike, bike or kayak. Sure, it's a compromise and they look and feel great, but as almost everyone else has reported, these pieces have at least 50% of their only "bulges" on an afternoon (let's call it that) "bulge" in the great outdoors hiking) and if lost, go out into the ocean with slippery rocks above and below the surface. A complete disappointment and I wish I had done more research. Find something else.

I only had one dislike. Half a size larger was replaced without my consent. I'm an athlete and that creates a very big problem in shoe performance.

I bought these shoes for the summer - because they are breathable. Fit well, look good, BUT: after 2 days on normal ground (sidewalk, cobblestones) most of the nubs on the sole come off and even worse: the sole has come off completely in one place. See build. This is the worst quality shoe I've temporarily bought. Merrell points to Revain - they are not responsible.
