I like my Maipo shoes. I was a bit disappointed in the inner soles (very thin) so bought some to replace those that came in the shoes. They do fit a bit differently than other Merrells. Not sure why, just roomier in the toe bed. Overall, I like the way they look and are comfortable with new inserts.

Very nice light weight shoe. It is a little on the large size. Since 12 1/2 was not available I ordered my normal shoe size of 13 which seems to be a little large for my feet.

Great for golf, trail running, after ski leisure, walking, and any rocky terrain.
I love my newest pair of Merrells. Have gotten a few compliments too. Everybody loves the way they look. Another comfortable pair.

Purchased the Maipo Explorer Aerosport after recently purchasing the Maipo Explorer Sieve. I love the Sieve, but the Aerosport, while very stylishly appealing, have been very disappointing, as they 'squeak/creak' when walking. At first, I thought it was the grippy sole on the hardwood floor surface, but it happens on all surfaces and is noticeable enough that even people nearby notice the sound. Disappointing, considering my past experience with Merrell products has been so positive.

Fits very well. Great traction and cushioning. Helps me walk faster due to the shape of the sole keeping me more forward over the balls of my feet.

Fantastic Shoe, Another Fantastic Merrell Product
I liked the looks and the tread/sole profile which led me to buying these sneakers. I tried them on when I received them and they felt very comfortable and also very light, weight wise! The only thing I don't like is the elastic strap in the center of the top of my arch of my foot, it's a little annoying but I think in time my feet will adjust to it!

Light-weight, comfortable from the start. Just what I was looking for.

I bought these to try out for a backpacking trip that involves quite a bit of hiking in water. I work as a guide and have led this route many times, and I’m always looking for the best shoe to handle the water, sand, and slick rocks of southern Utah. My next trip is later this month, but I’ve been wearing the shoes long enough to realize they are not going to work well due to their loose fit. The length is correct, but they are much too wide. I can’t tighten them enough to fit snugly on my foot. The resulting sloppiness has led to me rolling my ankle several times. I can’t take the risk of that happening when I’m carrying a full backpack for several days in the wilderness. The quality seems decent and the price is attractive, but Merrell needs to work on the fit to make them functional.

The shoes looked good out of the box. Fit true to size. Put them on to walk around the house. Felt like I was walking on a board. No give in the sole at all. Took them off and put them back in box to send back.

Very comfortable, reliable and one of the most durable sneakers on the market. My feet felt great after miles of usage on various terrains.
One of the best shoes I have the bottom of the shoe is made look like cleats kind of so you don't get stuck with the rocks in it I will buy it again

Comfy, no break in required, hiked 12 miles over the course of 4 days in the Adirondacks with them in dry conditions over rocks, packed dirt, gravel, and steep terrain. They held up perfectly.
