Merrell Women's Alverstone Waterproof Hiking Shoes - Lightweight Trail Running & Outdoor Walking Shoes for Women - Perfect for Hiking, Camping & Backpacking Adventures

These shoes are great. I got them the night before I left on hiking trip to NH and forts use was an 11 mile hike. They needed no break in. I was so shocked. No blisters at all. I also crossed thru some water I wasn't pirpoly trudging thru it but there were a few times the water cam up over my toes and I could feel the cold but my feet did not get wet. It also was very muddy and my shoes did not stay dirty and the dirt just brushed right off. Picture of shoes is after 3 uses in muddy conditions. I felt like they fit true to size. Some people have said they fit small but I did not find that to be the case here. I love the color of them they look just as pictured.
