Many years ago on a holiday to the Isle of Skye I discovered I had forgotten to pack my walking boots! A trip to the Island outdoor shop was necessary and after trying on several different makes I finally opted for a pair of Merrell walking shoes. Fast forward almost a decade and I can honestly say these were the best pair of shoes I have ever bought. Sadly after walking many miles my shoes had started to show their age! A few months ago I decided it was time to buy a new pair. Having had such a positive experience with Merrell I knew I wanted to stick with the brand.
A trip to my local Milletts revealed a few styles in the Merrell range. I have fairly skinny ankles and so find that high walking boots tend to rub my ankle bone. For this reason I wanted a trainer like walking shoe. I didn’t want anything to heavy either .The Merrell Siren ventilator caught my eye and I was soon on my way home with a pair.
Merrell market this shoe as a lightweight summer hiking shoe. The shoes are made of suede with a breathable mesh lining. They have the Merrell vibram sole so give excellent grip. The shoes are air cushioned in the middle for extra comfort. The heel is moulded for support. There are two colours to choose from either beige suede called desert sage or brown coloured suede called pinecone. I choose the beige colour.
My thoughts. *********** I have had these shoes for over two months now and love them! They are very comfortable even on very long hikes. I have never experienced any blisters or even had sore feet even on a recent 10 mile walk. The inside of the shoe is very well cushioned so feels like you are really walking on air. Walking in these shoes will literally give you a spring in your step!
The Vibram sole gives excellent grip even on wet ground. Although these shoes do not give good ankle support I find my heels stay in place and that helps to support my ankles. I have never had a twisted ankle wearing these so I guess that’s proof enough!
The breathable mesh works well by keeping your feet cool. I don’t suffer from sweaty feet but have no reason to think the Merrell promise that the mesh will also take away any moisture from you feet is not true.
On the negative side these shoes are not great to wear when it rains! They are sold as a summer weight walking shoe after all. The mesh on the sides of the shoes lets in water, although the shoes do dry quickly. We tend to do a lot of walking over rough terrain and these shoes are not good for crossing streams! Still on balance I am happy to get my feet damp in exchange for a superbly comfortable shoe!
Another slight negative is that these shoes don’t come in half sizes. I usually take a 5 ½ but found the size 5 fitted well. I tend to wear lightweight socks with these to get the full benefit of the cool breathable mesh.
Advantages: Excelent support and ventilation Disadvantages: Non that I have been able to identify as yet
...winter as well as the Merrell Siren shoe as a possible approach shoe. I hadn’t. Staff then moved onto showing which jackets had which benefits and which of these benefits I would need, and asked me if I would need anything extra to what they had shown me. As I hadn’t thought of anything like this, the staff I must say had the patience of saints to put up with my errrr’s and arrrrrr’s!! I had never had base layers before, only the old fashioned thermals! ... ...Icebreaker and how they would keep me warm and help to keep me comfortable when walking. Overall, I was very impressed with the staff LD Mountain Centre, as well as the variety of products and brands they stocked both in store and online at www.ldmountaincentre.com Out of all the shops I visited I found that the staff were interested only in ensuring I got the right products for what I was doing. Although I initially only went in to buy a pair of ...
