Bad idea

Inferior product. First time in 23 years of buying only merrell's That I was disappointed in how your brand has been compromised. This is an example of how a brand loses its way and its loyal customers.

Nova 4

Out of the box comfort Merrell is known for with tread ready to tackle trails full of rocks, roots, and ruts. The mesh fabric breathes and drains well but is subject to abrasion. My current pair of Nova 4's needed less than 100 miles to start showing wear on the toebox just outside of the mud guards on the inside and outside of my shoes. It could be a problem with the material or it could be a problem with Appalachia. Who knows?!

What happened?

I bought these when they first came out, ended up being my favorite shoe. However, the last pair I bought was notably narrow, so much so that I can’t wear them more than an hour .

Not durable

I bought these in September of last year. I use primarily for work where I clock an average of 15k steps a shift on concrete. I also rotate shoes between three brands as that seems to prevent excess knee pain. Basically I’ve worn them twice a week at most. Now the shoes are coming apart where the top of the shoe meets the sides. Seems like a weird place to wear out. Fit and comfort were fine but I’ll not purchase again.

very comfortable, no so durable

Bought these 2/29/26. Very comfortable but within 4 months the inside of the left shoe began splitting. I don't wear these every day and at 67 y/o you could hardly expect that I'm aggressive enough to destroy a well made shoe. Maybe at 40 or even in my 50s but nowadays it's more Netflix, less x game sports. Can't figure out the "add images " button or I'd load one up

Nova 4 passes the test in the Scottish Highlands

I used these on the West Highland Way in Scotland. The trails consisted of dirt and gravel paths, rough-paved military roads, stone steps, steep ascents and descents on rocks, and mud, lots of mud. Despite their light weight, the NOVA 4s provided ample support, cushioning and traction. They dried quickly, too.

Great shoes, but tend to run narrow.

Very comfortable love the green. All in all, they run narrow and next pair I get I'm gonna go wider.

Pikes Peak

I took a 8 mile hike up and back down Pikes Peak and these shoes held up well. They were comfortable, and I have no complaints about these shoes.

Perfect Summer Shoes for an Active Lifestyle

This will be a positive review, like many others about this model. These sneakers are truly worth the price and are perfect for the summer season. They are very lightweight, breathable, and, like all Merrell shoes, are reliable. I lead a fairly active lifestyle: I walk a lot, work, study, and travel, so for me, good shoes are not just a matter of comfort, but a true necessity. Therefore, if you're looking for lightweight, comfortable, and convenient sneakers for the summer, I can confidently recommend these. I'd also like to highlight their design. In black, they look stylish and pair easily with almost any outfit.

Suitable sleepers

Look mature enough to be worn with a suit but comfy enough to sleep in. Great for attending graduations or other business casual events where you have to be on you feet all day You can wear them in the office all day or outdoors walking. Comfy leather tongue and look brand new still after the first few weeks which is usually impossible for me.
