Merrell

Alpine 83 Recraft Sneaker - Women's

Comfy shoes with a major design flaw

These are comfortable shoes. No problems out of the box. The problem is they are so hard to get on. If I had known they were this difficult to put on I would not have purchased. I should have sent them back. But I needed a pair of walking shoes right away. I think the way the opening is designed is a major flaw in these shoes.

Frustrating Process

Following the size guide on the item page, I ordered a half size up, up to size 9. The shoes took 10 days to get to me, and unfortunately, they are too large. Now I have print a return label, ship them back, and wait for Merrell to receive my return before they ship my replacement in a smaller size. The whole process is very slow and I wish I had ordered them from a different website.

Disappointed

I loved the shoe except I could get my foot into it Very disappointed

Don't buy

not a good fit. Got a size up. Got foot in shoes too big. Came with no packing slip. can't find how to exchange. First time had a problem with this company

Not for larger boned ankles!

The shoes are cute, and besides, the constricted ankle are comfortable on the foot bed and elsewhere. You really have to work to get your foot in without the laces, allowing the tongue to open, and I felt some pinching and digging on my ankles when trying them out. I have the basic Alpine sneakers and I love them and was looking for a similar fit with a new look. Just didn’t work for me.

Not the quality of Merrill. Not much support and run wide. It is a disappointing purchase

DO NOT SIZE UP!!!!

My feet just flopped around in these after sizing up as site recommended. They are really wide too. This will be my first Merrell return, because I love their shoes!!!

Cute…but actually injured my foot 🥺

I have been wearing Moabs for many years on my daily 4-5km walks, so I was excited to try the Alpine Sneaker, expecting similar performance & comfort. Unfortunately in the first week of wearing these after only a 30 min walk I developed pain in the ball of my left foot. It was sore the rest of the day & the next morning was very swollen & tender to the point I was limping. I ended up needing to stop my walks and rest for over a week, wearing a metatarsal cushion to allow my foot to heal. I can only think this was caused by the shoe, the footbed seems quite rigid so maybe that? Nothing else was out of the ordinary & I’ve never had this kind of issue with my feet before. These shoes are cute & the colours are stylish, but they actually injured me so I cannot recommend them if you plan on walking in them for more than half an hour.

Cute Shoe

This shoe is really cute and comfortable. It is a little hard to get on and the tongue is a little too high. It has a tendency to roll inward at times. A shorter tongue would be a big improvement.

Wrong Description and Difficult to Get On

I bought this shoe because I thought it would be a comfortable shoe. I have many different styles of Terrell's, and I love them all. This one, however, is being returned. I can't get it on! Granted, I am disabled, but the the inability to get a Merrell shoe on my foot has never been an issue. First, the description says the tongue is "gusseted." It is not! There simply is no tongue. The top of the shoe is just one piece, and because it rises high the foot, you have to be a gymnast to get it on. There is no slipping it on because the opening is waaaaaay too small for a shoe with no tongue. Merrell, please rethink your description. Gusset is used improperly in your description!
