I have two pairs of boots and one pair of other Merrell shoes and after years of having them, it was time for new shoes. I bought the Siren 2 waterproof women shoes, along with a pair of slip on shoes back in August. I like the sirens & their style, but I feel they are too stiff and way too uncomfortable. The other shoes (of which I can't remember the style name right off) is incredibly comfortable. (I have a heel spur on one foot and chronic foot pain in both feet-especially the right one from two hiking injuries and look for shoes that give me great comfort and stability.) I've never had my feet to hurt as much from wearing shoes as what I do with these. I've worn them too much to return them, but I hope to find a pair of shoes that has this kind of traction, but with more give and comfort. They're also slick on certain types of flooring as well. I'll continue to wear them and hope over time they break in some. I know these shoes have a lot of good reviews and I certainly do not diminish other's experience with these shoes. I will click recommend because I don't think someone should shy away from trying a product because it doesn't work for someone else. Everyone's experience will be different, this just happens to be mine. I do love the Merrell brand and it has served me well in the years and the miles and miles I've hiked.
