Merrell Nova 3 Mid Tactical Waterproof Boots - Dark Olive

It looks like I was unlucky, because after brief contact with water, especially around the toe area, the shoes become completely soaked. The membrane sewn into the shoe absorbs water like a sponge, making the interior almost wet up to the heel. If this is just a defect of this particular pair and does not occur in others, the shoes are generally great – they are extremely light and comfortable, and the insole inside supports the foot very well, preventing it from collapsing inward, which often happens to me.

The shoes are fine, but the size chart on the website does not correspond to the actual dimensions of the shoe. Size 42 should have an insole of 27 cm according to the website, but it is actually 26.5 cm. This is a mistake that is a bit annoying and was not checked before shipping the shoes.

I agree that the shoes are comfortable and lightweight, but in my opinion, they have a serious flaw—the tread wears out much too quickly with moderate use. I tested them in various conditions throughout the year, and despite my fondness for this brand, next time I’ll choose a more durable model.

Great, lightweight shoes. Their appearance resembles sports shoes, which makes them look quite discreet – for me that’s a big plus because they don’t attract attention. They are very comfortable and light, and additionally, they are waterproof.

I have been buying Merrell shoes for years and I trust this brand – I really like their models, although they are not the cheapest. I chose this particular model with walks in the forest in mind. After several kilometers of wearing them, I have a very good impression. I tested both the special ballistic mesh and the waterproofness, and I am very satisfied with both features. The shoes are exceptionally lightweight and very comfortable, almost like slippers. They keep warmth well, but your feet don’t sweat – that’s thanks to the membrane. They have an interesting look and colors. Overall, I rate them 5 and wholeheartedly recommend!

The shoes are very comfortable, look good, and seem durable. My feet 'breathe' in them and do not overheat, even after a long walk I do not feel tired. The membrane does its job; I haven't tested them in the mountains yet, but during walks in the rain in the city and in the forest, they work great. Sizes vary as with every brand, but I already have several pairs of Merrell shoes, I always choose the same size and it fits here too. I recommend measuring your foot length before purchase (draw the outline of your foot and measure). I have a wide foot with a high instep and the shoes fit perfectly—they don't squeeze anywhere and don't cause discomfort. At first they rustled a bit, but that sound quickly disappeared. Delivery was very fast, I am very happy with the purchase.

Even though I chose shoes half a size bigger than usual, they turned out to be too small. I expected comfort and a bit of room, but I was disappointed. Please pay attention to this issue.

They fit the foot perfectly – light and comfortable. This is already my second purchase from this brand, so I chose without hesitation. Only time will tell how long they will last. I’ve been heavily using my previous pair for 4 years and only the heels have worn out. I highly recommend them.

This is the second model of shoes from this brand that I have bought, and again I am very satisfied. The size is perfect, the shoes are very light, comfortable, and well made. I also really like the color. I definitely recommend them!

The shoes are solid, lightweight, and comfortable. It's worth paying attention to the size chart – the insole length is about a centimeter shorter compared to other shoes of the same size that I have ordered. Sadly, I have to exchange for a bigger size because I missed this difference. In a few weeks, I’ll try to add an opinion after longer use.
