Fit - The shoe is extremely comfortable but the size is a little off. I wear a 9 in every shoe I own and the Merrell size 9 is at least a half size too large.

Merrell Waterpro Maipo - Great shoes! Run 1/2 size bigger. I tried every water shoe I could find. Liked the look of another brand until I put these on. No comparison. The cushion in these is great, felt like I was wearing my running shoes. The only con would be that the take a while to dry but definitely worth the money! Look a lot cuter than wearing those cheap water shoes too! I am a girl about the looks. My boyfriend usually wouldn't spend this kind of money but once he saw mine he threw out his cheap ones and we ordered him the men’s black. He loves his too! Really great to not have to take change of shoes. If in doubt go with these you will love them!

Awesome - Purchased my first pair of these in the lime green at bass pro at the beginning of the season. I LOVE THEM. I pretty much wear them with everything casual (shorts, jeans, crop pants). Then my sister turned me onto Zappos.com. I only wish I would have purchased more sooner as the only color left in my size was the blue, which is fine. I use these for everyday use. Not for water, which is what they were intended for. Gonna be challenging in the winter with the mesh, but I will wear them year round!! Very comfortable, supportive. Merrell makes a great product.

Nice Shoe - This is a very nice water shoe. The only complaint I would have is that I wear a 6 1/2 and sometimes a 7 size shoe. By the other reviews I ordered a 7 and it is a bit large. I think I could have gotten a 6 1/2 and it would have been perfect.

Light-weight and roomy - These are really light-weight and fun to wear. I didn't get them for water wear. For water wear, I'd go a half size smaller. As it is, they are plenty roomy enough to easily fit both orthotics and additional cushioning.

Not 4 sensitive feet - Shoes were cool, offered decent support. I tend to get the skin rubbed off my heel in some shoes, & these are no exception. I'll have to wear them with a band aid to protect my skin- even a sock wasn't enough protection. (Socks also defeat the purpose of water shoes.)

Great Shoe for Water and Around Town - I bought this shoe for kayaking. It works great in the water and on the river banks for keeping the rocks out of my shoes. I have also been wearing them on hikes and around town. They work great for those purposes as well, although I added an insert for extra arch support. I ordered a half size smaller than normal and I still found the fit generous.

What a great shoe! I can't tell you how much I really love this shoe! A friend recommended it and I can't be more pleased with them! They needed absolutely no "breaking in" - in fact I wore them to work that night (I stand throughout my whole shift) and my feet felt great. After having several foot surgeries in the past few years, I have had a difficult time finding shoes that fit my needs. I can tell you this one definitely gets two thumbs up. One minor point, if you have narrow feet, keep in mind these shoes tend to run a little bit wide. I have narrow feet and find it hard to get them to fit tightly, although I typically wear my shoes looser than average and this isn't much of a problem. Try these shoes! They're wonderful!

Great water shoe! This shoe just went on an 8 day whitewater rafting trip through the Grand Canyon on the Colorado River. Comfortable, steady on the raft, supportive on the hiking trails. Very happy with this shoe!

Maipo madness - Everyone in my family wants a pair, as do my friends. I love the lightweight comfort of these and they are sturdy, too. It has been hot here in Indiana lately and I love the mesh in these shoes to keep the air flowing and keep my feet cool. I have worn them in the rain several times and they dry right out quickly. I have been walking a lot lately to save gas and these shoes are great for city walking.

This shoe is super comfortable from the get go. Great on a boat, in the garden, or walking around town. And, it drains well and dries quickly if it gets wet.

Super Sneaker - Just returned from a three-week trip to the (hot) Holy Land and the Merrell Waterpro Maipo served admirably as my walking shoe. It's lightweight and breathable (cool!) and the fine mesh kept pesky sand and pebbles from being a problem.

I love this shoe!!! I have them in blue and I am about to order them in lavender. They are so comfortable and they don't feel heavy on feet. I also get a lot of compliments on these almost every time I wear them.

Not good for narrow feet, but some Merrell oxfords are - I wear narrow shoes but get by with medium athletic shoes. I had Merrell water shoes a few years ago that fit perfectly and let my hot feet breathe. These shoes do not fit my narrow feet. They look bunched-up when I lace them up. Also, I can't use the special lacing method for narrow feet (involving the top part of the laces) with these shoes, so my feet slide down to the front of the shoes, causing them to hurt. A big problem: The straps on the sides of the shoes LOOK like they adjust, but they don't really adjust anything that matters. Finally, the right shoe is just too short for my foot, even though my left foot is longer. I wore these shoes outside before I realized they were killing my right foot, so I really should stop wearing them. Make sure they really fit before you keep them: my right shoe has plenty of extra room in it beyond my big toe, but it still kills my foot. I may take them to a shoe shop to have new holes put into them to see if threading them in a different way will make them fit me better. On the plus side: they are breathable and the green ones look great.

Best Outdoor Shoes Ever - Wow. A friend recommended these to me as "feeling like you're not wearing shoes" and she was RIGHT. These were instantly comfortable. Instantly. I needed something I could wear outside while doing heavy gardening, something that would allow water to drain, something COMFY. These are it. No blisters. No rubbing. Light as air. Drain and dry VERY quickly, just like my friend said. I plan to take these on a trip where I'll be doing a lot of walking. They're that comfortable. Also, the size was "true."

Great sailing shoe - Works well on the boat - good grip, dries pretty fast. The lacing system is great for people with narrow heels - I don't walkout or slip in these shoes. I have used them for two seasons now. Only complaint is that bottom drainage is lacking.

A sweet comfy ride! I love Merrell shoes... and these are my new favorites for this summer. They have a great breathable material which not only allows them to dry out quickly when wet, but also allows air to pass through to keep your tootsies cool all day long. Like the last reviewer, I also have flat feet, but the support in the arch area is sufficient. The insole is removable and could be replaced with orthotics, but the padding and materials making up the bottom of the shoe are just fabulous... providing a comfortable day of running around without thinking about your feet. (I don't seem to have any problems with the shoelaces becoming untied throughout the day, but they'd be easy enough to replace with other shoelaces if you find it a problem.)

great shoes - This shoe is so comfortable and great looking, not to mention breathable. I'm not into outdoor sports but I am a nurse and this is a great shoe for those long shifts. They have caught on and lots of nurses at my hospital wear them now!! I have flat feet and the arch support is minimal, which is great for me. My only complaint is that these laces have to be retied over and over even with double knots.
