Speed Eco Waterproof Hiking Shoe - Men's

They work at 10,000 feet.

Very light yet waterproof. Hiked to the alpine Williams Lake, New Mexico and encountered some snow along the way above 10,000 feet. They’re great.

Perfect for all day and all weather!

I took these shoes on a 3 week Europe trip to Italy and Switzerland. As part of the trip the temps ranged from 35-75 degrees with rain off and on. I walked in snow, mud, shallow puddles, and through rain storms. I wore water resistant pants from Outdoor Research which kept the water from getting my socks or top of the shoes wet. Even with the rain, I didn't have a single wet sock. Nothing soaked through the shoes. Obviously, they tend to run a little bit warmer because of the water proofing, but in cooler climates they're ideal. Additionally, I was wearing a photography backpack with about 30lbs of gear. The padding in the shoes kept my feet from getting sore even with the additional weight. I can't speak to the longevity of the shoe, but I can say they're built for traveling in all sorts of weather. As mentioned by a few people, they can be a bit slick, but this only seems to be true on non-porous surfaces like metal for the occasional manhole or metal plates covering sidewalks, take some extra caution.

Rio and Buenos Aires

For me they were supportive in the right way for my ball-of-the-foot neuroma, and and at the same time, light and able to slip on. I bought two for my South America three week trip, both waterproof and net. I had no pain issues with 12000+ steps a day!!

Awesome Ecos

Very comfortable and well built. I walk from 5 to 10 miles a day and these shoes provide excellent support. My feet and legs are not tired after walking.

Reliable Satisfactory

I am very pleased with my choice and I am a long-term Merrill shoe customer.

¡Perfecto!

Great performance and comfort in the Costa Rican rainforest!

Quality comfortable shoe

Great show, plenty of cushion with ample arch support. So far have held up well to every day wear.

Very comfortable

Following my back surgery I was looking for a supportive walking shoe and find hiking shoes to be better than walking shoes. This shoe is very, very comfortable but doesn’t have the support I need for long term walking.

Great fit, great shoe, just not great on my ankles

These shoes are super comfortable and are the perfect size/fit. My ankles keep getting super chewed up every time I wear these, though, to the point where I noticably hobble back home. I'm hoping they'll properly break in and make my ankles happy eventually, but for now I can only give these shoes 4 stars.

Comfortable shoe

Great wear from the beginning walk. I walk on urban trails. Only caution is they are like skates on ice
