Why We Like The Chameleon 8 Stretch Hiking Shoe
The best part about hiking is venturing off the beaten path into the unknown, which demands gear we can count on to safely guide us there and back. Merrell’s Chameleon 8 Stretch Hiking Shoe implements rubber toe and heel caps to provide us with protection against rock deflections and prevent abrasions, keeping us feeling confident when exploring new terrain. Not to mention, the aggressively lugged Vibram outsole helps us stay upright and comfortable when the once-dusty trail turns wet and sloppy thanks to unexpected rainstorms.

Great shoes
Best shoes I've ever owned I had sore feet, that cramped a lot. I bought these shoes 15 years ago and the only time my feet hurt is when I skimp out and buy different shoes. I go out of my way to buy them every time

Chameleon 8 Stretch
Great shoe. I currently have two pairs and have had 6 over the past 14 years. Very comfortable from day one and no need to break in.

These are not your favorite Chameleon's you have purchased in the past. The rubber is hard, its like walking on concrete. I have been wearing Chameleon's for 20 years, and the old pair is just getting worn out. So sad they have messed up these shoes. They used to be so comfortable, even new out of the box, that I didn't even know I was wearing them. Now the rubber is hard, Its like walking on concrete, and they seem to be taller at the ankle as I can feel them rubbing the bottom of my ankle.

Defect in product?
I've owned different styles of merrell hiking shoes/boots since 2003. I have praised them for fit and wear,up until now. I've owned at least 8 pairs of chameleon along with a dozen other styles. Recently I had to send back 3 pairs of size 8 chameleon ( my favorite style). One pair of black and white, to big and wide two more pair 1 butternut and the other earth.both fit fine but the left shoe had a terrible pressure point in the arch where the heel meets. Then I start reading complaints from others about the same spot. Based on you still selling a defective product when others prior to me had complained you will no longer have me as a customer.

decent light walking trail shoe
The shoes feel very comfortable when just walking around. However, they are tough to get my foot into, and when I'm on the decline, my foot slides around a bit and I can't seem to get the laces tight enough for the support and comfort that I'm used to with Merrells

Good Shoe, Poor Decision
This is a great show, but for the life of me, I don't understand why Merrell quit making the shoe in a wide?
