Review: First impression - awesome shoes - Review: Merrell Chameleon 8 Stretch (Size 7) – First Impressions Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Initial Experience) I recently purchased the Merrell Chameleon 8 Stretch in Dark Chocolate. Below are my first impressions after an initial unboxing and a brief trial run. I plan to provide a long-term update after more mileage, but here is how they perform right out of the box. Fit & Comfort Zero Break-in Period: Usually, Merrells take about a week to break in. Remarkably, these felt comfortable immediately. Sizing: I tested these with thick hiking socks; the fit was perfect—neither too tight nor too loose. Arch Support: The built-in arch support is a standout feature. It provides a noticeable lift without feeling "overdone" or intrusive. Interior Feel: The inside feels roomy and comfortable, providing a slight, pleasant warmth. Design & Build Quality Material: The dark chocolate leather feels genuine and high-quality to the touch. The design is rugged and features a unique pattern that stands out from typical hiking footwear. Lacing System: Note that these feature elastic stretch laces for a snug grip rather than traditional tie-laces. Weight: They have a solid, "considerable" weight to them, but they do not feel overly heavy or clunky. Performance & Traction Traction: The Vibram® outsole features deep lugs. Based on the design, I expect these to handle mud, rocky terrain, and gravel with ease. Mobility: As a low-profile shoe (no high ankle support), they allow for a great range of motion, which I find much more comfortable for long-distance walking. Ground Feel: After a short walk on grass/lawn, the shoes felt stable and ready for the trail. Minor Observations Removal: Because of the secure stretch fit, taking the shoes off using your other foot (hands-free) is a bit difficult, though this is a minor trade-off for such a secure fit. Road Use: While designed for trails, I intend to test these on paved roads for a 3–4 mile walk soon to see how the lugs and cushioning hold up on harder surfaces. Final Verdict I am very excited to start my next hiking journey in these. If you are looking for a rugged, authentic-feeling hiking shoe that is comfortable from the very first minute, the Chameleon 8 Stretch is an excellent contender.
Review: Excellent product - Easy on, easy off. Very comfortable. I've found that the vibram sole by Merrel is excellent if you're spending a lot of time walking on cement.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these slip on shoes ?**
A: I am able to slip mine on! I either use my finger at the heel to help it go in or I use a shoe horn.

**Q: Is this shoe durable?**
A: Yes, it is a durable shoe. I love the shoe.

**Q: Are these made to be worn without socks?**
A: No.  
They have an elastic band around the top that keeps them snug. 
Without socks, that elastic would dig into your ankles.

**Q: There's no options for choosing a size??**
A: There is on Amazon
