Hikable, protective water sandal that features open mesh for fast dry-out times and a siped sole for traction Review: More like a sneaker with great ventilation then it is a standard sandal. - I like that we are starting to see more options from manufactures for vented style foot gear. I’am not a big fan of "water proof/breathable" foot gear. Mostly because even the best material is not breathable, sure the material may vent your perspiration somewhat but very little and at a very slow rate. Also as that lining material gets contaminated with sweat and dirt over time is loses its breathable characteristics. This water proof type of foot gear just cause issues for me with athletes foot or worse toe fungus. So I look for vented style footgear to overcome having sweaty damp feet. This brings us to the “Merrell, Tetrex Crest Wrap Sandal". I’m going to compare this to the previous sandal I had been wearing the “Merrell, All Out Blaze Sieve Water Shoe”. First, the "Merrell Tetrex Crest Wrap” is more like a hybrid sneaker. It has a standard removeble foot liner like most sneakers and traditional laces not stretchy bungy material. I like this feature because the problem with bungy type laces is that they stretch, so when your being active in your sneaker/sandal and cornering a turn or hikeing a incline at a angle the bungy type laces will stretch causing your foot to become unsecured and slide from within the sandal. The removable liner is nice because it can removed for cleaning or drying out, also it feels nicer underfoot then the plastic rubbery feel of some sandals foot bed material. Plus I think the liner material is going to help wick moister out from under your foot verses the hard surface of some sandals that get a clammy feeling. Glad to see Merrell vented over top of toes with a “breathable” (not water proof) neoprene material. From just viewing the pics online I thought it was just mesh material but there is a neoprene material under the mesh. This is great because that was one of the issues I had with the “All Out Blaze Sieve Water Shoe” is it just wasn’t vented enough in the toe area. Overall this sandal/ sneaker has great support and very secure fit due to the traditional lace and number of anchor points. Really it’s more like a sneaker with great ventilation then it is a standard sandal.This is going to be my go to shoe for hiking, running around the yard with the dogs and activities of that nature. Plus it’s a sharp looking design, a win win for me. Hope this helps out. Review: Great Summer shoe, the fit is versatile and flexible so no need to be overly concerned about wide sizes - These shoes are great!..Was a little concerned how they would fit given that I couldn't find a wide size, which always works better for me in the feeling the shoes. I ordered my regular size 11.5 and they fit just fine. I guess it's in the shoe design. They are also lightweight and very comfortable. Perfect for warm weather, beach wear, around the house wear, etc. It's not really a hiking shoe, so don't think just because of the name that they are. They are still a great purchase and good price.

Comfortable Shoes
These shoes are comfortable but on a hot day they don't breath as well as I would like. I added bungee laces which I should have been part of the package. I tend to wear a 10.5 or 11 but I needed 10 to get a good fit.

Great water shoes!
Great shoes! Very comfortable with or without socks. Spent a week in the Plumas National forest camping and hiking in and out of rivers. They provided plenty of grip on slippery rocks, when i got sand or rocks in them they were easily expelled by shaking my foot in water. Build quality is what you expect from Merrell, they will last.

Runs Tight and Warm
These sandals are a bit narrow and run a half size too small. if you have a wide foot pass. Otherwise go one half size larger. Also they run warm so better a spring and fall sandal vs dead of summer. Comfortable fit however and good grip.

Fit like a comfortable sandal but look like sneakers
As I am wearing the Merrell Sandals now, they feel light weight. I have a high instep and by loosening the laces slightly, they now fit well on top. It would be nice if they had memory foam but the sole is comfy and is cushioned some. The only comment I have is the laces were too long. I weaved the excess laces in and out of the criss-crossed laces down to the toe and back up to the top knotting the laces with a square knot. Now they are a tight slip on sandal. I'm loving them more and more as I'm already used to having them on my feet. I also have a wide foot and this is not an issue with these Merrell Sandals. Buy and enjoy !!

WATER SHOE NOT A SUMMER SHOE
The shoe itself is amazing. I’m a fly fisherman in California and I spend a large portion of my time in the water on slick rocks. I was using adidas trail running shoes and before that the Columbia water shoes. This shoe is designed to be in the water. The sole dries out quick. You will get sand in them but it’s easy to get out compared to the other options out there. All in all if you’re a fisherman and like summer wading and are looking for shoe options this is the number 1 option.

Excellent
Bought these for my partner who struggles with sandals and loves Merrells. These are perfect and very comfortable.

Brutales! El forro con neopreno interior lo mejor
Las mejores zapatillasde trekking-agua . No tienen mucha amortiguación pero son unas hibridas por eso La unica pega que las plantillas son de pura goma y no transpira para nada la planta. Pero bueno, al ser pensado para que reciba mucha agua pues no le pueden poner plantillas mas transpirables de tela o algo asi. Son las segundas que compro porque perdi las primeras despues de dos años de uso y dos viajes largos estaba INTACTAS. Producto premium vale cada centimo

Very pleased
Tremendous water shoe, great for summer paddling. Fits perfectly and appears to be very solidly made. Merrell usually produces good products.

For some reason feet's get sweated .
That was my first time experience buying shoes online . I expects little bit more from Merrell . For some reason feet's get sweated , especially fingers . Everything else is ok but not perfect as I usually get from that brand.

eccellenti
Degne sostitute delle mie jack wolfskin canyon rave quasi defunte.Ero scettica perchè le trovavo troppo chiuse rispetto alle canyon,che hanno molta più tela,però devo dire che mi trovo benissimo.Ho solo cambiato lacci mettendo quelli elasticizzati col fermo,ma per il resto gran acquisto.
