About Merrell Men's Alverstone Hiking Shoe
Overall Feedback:
90% positive
83% found the shoes waterproof, while 17% raised concerns
I have washed the shoes several times in the washing machine and they clean up great.
The shoes are not waterproof but they keep a fair amount of water out.
The Blaze shoe is mostly made of mesh material and is not water-resistant, so water would go right into it.
90% found them to be extremely comfortable, while 10% experienced blisters.
The shoes feel like they crush my feet side to side. I wore them for a couple of hours and my foot feels like it was crushed in a vice.
I compared the comfort of this pair with three other pairs that I rotate while walking and found that this pair did not have the same comfort feel.
I found the shoes comfortable initially, but after wearing them for 2 weeks, my knee started hurting.
I tried to improve the comfort of my shoes by switching out insoles but still couldn't find the comfort I was looking for.

79% were impressed by sole quality, while 21% weren't satisfied
These shoes are fantastic for everyday use or hiking.
I felt the heel was too high and pushed my feet forward. The shoes lacked flexibility.
To avoid blisters, I suggest cinching down the bottom of the laces near the toe or wearing fat socks.
89% liked the excellent airflow and ventilation, but 11% found it insufficient.
The shoes are acceptable in terms of breathability.
I wanted a shoe that was tougher than a tennis shoe but still breathable and athletic.
The Blaze shoes are super light and comfortable, but the material is mostly mesh which makes them less breathable and allows water to easily enter.
