Review on πŸ‘Ÿ Merrell Women's Trail Sneaker Paloma Shoes by Stacia Payne

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Poor quality for Merrell name

My favorite shoe used to be the Vapor Gloves so I was shocked at the poor quality and construction of these shoes. For reference, I previously bought a Chinese minimalist shoe that broke as soon as I tied the laces. A lesson learned. But back then, this Merrell looked and felt like the same amount of time had been invested in the manufacturing process. Besides, the size is wide. I tried both 8.5 and 9 and both ended up being a whole size bigger. I have not experienced this with my previous Vapor gloves. As an added issue, the arch support was extremely high and stiffβ€”not minimalist by any means. To be honest I'm depressed by the current low quality of athletic shoes of all brands and prices especially the ones I've found at Revain. I don't know what's going on, but companies like Merrell need to get back to quality.
