MerrellMen's Annex Trak Low Hiking Shoe

Hopefully you can see from the sole wear these have had little use over the past year ( 3 months of which I was resting a broken leg) . Bought because I chose to return to Merrell after about 10 years with another brand. Will be returning to that other brand. Merrell quality is rubbish. Very disappointed and I appear to be one of very many here. DO NOT BUY if you depend on good footwear for walking. I bought these for casual wear and they didn’t last 14 months of light use occasionally. I also thought the discomfort I experienced was my problem…..looking at other comments I’m glad to see it the shoes, not me. Hope this helps you.

I take an 11 and these fit true to size. Snug, but comfortable out of the box. Look really good and obviously quality. Let's see how they hold up over time, but pleased so far.**UPDATE**Rating changed to reflect shocking lack of durability. The soles (not sure if a Vibram or Merrell issue) are seriously weak and on BOTH shoes have started to peel away - on the right shoe, a chunk of rubber (about the size of a 10p piece) has just flaked away, leaving a hole, and on the left shoe, there's a huge strip that's threatening to peel away which I've had to superglue twice. It won't hold for very long though.Seriously terrible manufacturing here. Avoid avoid avoid. For a £65 pair of shoes I'm not happy.

I bought these to replace a pair of Merrell Blaze Low walking shoes that were just plain worn out! I chose the Annex Trak Low as a replacement as it's a slightly lighter weight shoe than the Blaze, and I didn't need the added weight of the waterproof feature since I proof my shoes with a water repellent spray, this works fine in all but the wettest conditions. I walk 2 km to and from work each day and wanted a shoe that was also comfortable enough to wear all day at work.The first thing I do with a walking shoe is to replace the fitted insole with a good quality sports insole, and I simply reused the Superfeet Green insoles from my old pair of Blazes. The Superfeet Green is the best sports insole I've found, and although they're pricey (around £30), they are super comfortable and they last forever! I also replaced the standard flat laces with a better quality round sports lace.Fitting wise, I take a UK 10 / EU 44 and wear my shoes with a normal cotton sock. Even with the slightly thicker Green insoles, the size 10 which I ordered was an excellent fit. My feet are quite broad and the width fitting was also good. If you plan to wear a thicker walking sock then I would recommend going for a half size bigger. Note that after a few km of walking, the shoes do tend to "give" a little if at first they feel slightly tight.I own several pairs of Merrell sports and lightweight walking shoes and the Annex Trak Low hasn't disappointed me.

Worn for the first time, are a bit tight but I expect that to change after wearing more, but are comfortable and a good fit.

Merrel shoes. Great price, smart and comfy to wear.

I bought these shoes just less than two years ago. They are very comfortable and lightweight so I have been very happy with them. However, about two months ago both shoes split on both sides where they flex when I walk so they now leak. They have only been used for walking around town and really not used that often since I bought them. Really disappointing!

I've always found Merrell shoes to be comfortable and this pair are no different.Quality shoes, with no complaints.

Really I regret not sending these back, I wore them for a few months and threw them away. One of the shoes was poorly made and it looked like the front was not glued on properly. They were comfortable, but not great for outdoors as they let in water.Expected better quality for the price.

Colour was much darker than the picture. I much prefer to purchase shoes in person as they can be tested out and walked around in without the hassle of having to potentially go back and return them. Overall they were fine, but nothing special. Lasted an average amount of time. I tend to wear shoes until they fall apart. The rubber around the edge of the sole dried out a little faster than my liking. Sole wear was mediocre. At least they were actual leather! Overall nothing special and a bit pricy.

Not the quality I expected. Lots of tread left and one side blew out on the "little toe" side.

Po pierwszym założeniu okazało się iż pięta w lewym bucie zapada się. Tak jakby brakowało wypełnienia pod wkładką. Teraz czeka mnie reklamacja towaru. Zobaczymy co z tego wyjdzie, czy nie będzie problemów z reklamacją towaru

Na een half jaar gebruik (2 keer per week wandelen op geasfalteerde paden) waren beide schoenen al kapot. Slechte kwaliteit en dat voor best veel geld. Ik koop geen Merrel schoenen meer.

Los zapatos llegaron en tiempo, excelente calidad como todos los zapatos y botas Merrell que he tenido la oportunidad de comprar, los materiales de primera y muy cómodos. Independientemente del modelo que escojo existe consistencia en el número de la talla, lo que da confianza al comprar en línea.
