MerrellMen's All Out Blaze Aero Sport Hiking Water Shoe

This is my second pair of the Merrell All Out Blaze Aero Sport, and if that doesn’t speak to my satisfaction, I’m not sure what will. I’ve worn these shoes through hikes, travel, yard work, and even casual days out—and they hold up impressively across the board.Durability is top-tier. My first pair lasted years of abuse on rocky trails, muddy paths, and everyday wear. Even after extensive use, the Vibram soles held their grip, the mesh upper stayed intact, and the structure never collapsed like I’ve seen with other brands.What really sets these shoes apart is their all-around wearability. They’re light, breathable, quick-drying, and offer solid ankle support without feeling bulky. Whether I’m on a long trail, crossing shallow creeks, or just running errands, they’re comfortable and reliable. I don’t have to think twice—I just grab them and go.I’ve been loyal to Merrell for years, and the Blaze Aero Sport reinforces why. Their commitment to quality and performance is unmatched in the outdoor footwear space. The design strikes that perfect balance between performance and everyday practicality.This is my second purchase, and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy a third when the time comes. Highly recommend these to anyone needing a rugged, breathable, multi-use shoe that doesn’t quit.

I have massive feet. Imagine Shrek, shoe shopping, in the human village, but looking for ogre shoe sizes ;and that's about the best analogy for my plight with shoes. When I do find shoes in my size, they're rarely comfortable, have any version of arch support, and rarely do they have the aesthetics that I'm looking for. How I have missed out on Merrell shoes, all of these years, is beyond me. I was so impressed with this pair, that I went out and bought another pair of Merrell hiking shoes, the Accentor and they're just as wonderful.These all out blaze, looking stunning. They're very well made, extremely comfortable, to the point that other than having amazing foot support, they feel like invisible shoes, because it feels virtually weightless, like they aren't there. They're extremely tough, durable, and the mesh design makes your feet feel like there's always an AC turned on.i profusely sweat in all other shoes and not a single time had that occurred in these. They look great with my jeans, shorts, dressier attire, I can really use them for anything, but they excel in the woods, around rivers, hiking rocky outcrops.i haven't slipped or felt like I'm on uneven footing a single time. I don't get leg fatigue nearly as much as I used to either, that's the case with both these and the Accentor as well.Merrell is my new go to brand. I've never owned a more comfortable pair of shoes, that are made so ridiculously well. They'll be getting all of my money for shoes from now on. If you're on the fence about these shoes, don't be. They'll work for any occasion, go with any clothing, and you'll feel like your feet are being pampered, the entire time that you're wearing them.

These Merrill water shoes are perfect! Super comfortable from the start. They have a perfect arch and just the right amount of cushion in the sole (not a lot). Cool to wear in hot weather and they dry out reasonably quick if you get them wet. They have a high grip sole and have plenty of room in the toe area. I got a size 11 medium, which is what I usually wear; they may be slightly long, but not enough to size down.

Size chart is accurate. Measure your heel to longest toe, late in the day, add in 1.5cm, order per the chart, and odds are high you will get an accurate result. Comfortable fit, lightweight, fast-drying, good padding, and durable.

Overall, I like these shoes. They work well in the water with good traction and they drain fast. The only real problem I have with them is they don't keep sand and grit out. If you don't wear socks, the grit becomes very annoying, like sandpaper on your feet. When in water, it's like wet-sanding your feet. So I took to wearing ankle socks with them. Another problem is that they seem to run a bit small, so order the next size larger.

I have several pair of Merrell boots and shoes. This is one of the lightest and most breathable shoes. I was concerned with the comfortability and support, but it’s as comfortable as my Brooks shoe and other Merrell shoes. I have tested it on some small trails, but have not truly water tested it. It dries fairly quick and despite having a lot of mesh parts for dryness it manages to keep out a lot of debris. This shoe also looks incredible and is easy to slide on and off. It is my go to shoe, and I prefer it to hike in over my MOAB 2. It did get loose after running a mile and my feet got somewhat blistered. However, it was due to me not tightening it. The shoe is extra roomy but not too big that I needed a different size. That is partially what contributed to the blister along with it becoming loose while running. The only thing that beats it in comfort and back support is my Brooks Ghost, however for an overall shoe this is my current favorite pair.

great i got a different color , i though i might have to size up by a half , these gray ones felt a bit tight . the black ones i got to replace were the same size and fit perfect , not sure the reason .over all great shoes works for casual hiking or around town walking or yard work what ever u might want to do . i kind of love them . a little pricy , and not really great for hiking where you have to clime or run but casual walking on concrete or on some trails they are great .very comfortable and study , at least out of the box and look great

My husband loves these shoes. Sturdy and comfy.
