Merrell Men's All Out Blaze Aero Sport Hiking Water Shoe

This is my second pair of the Merrell All Out Blaze Aero Sport, and if that doesn’t speak to my satisfaction, I’m not sure what will. I’ve worn these shoes through hikes, travel, yard work, and even casual days out—and they hold up impressively across the board.Durability is top-tier. My first pair lasted years of abuse on rocky trails, muddy paths, and everyday wear. Even after extensive use, the Vibram soles held their grip, the mesh upper stayed intact, and the structure never collapsed like I’ve seen with other brands.What really sets these shoes apart is their all-around wearability. They’re light, breathable, quick-drying, and offer solid ankle support without feeling bulky. Whether I’m on a long trail, crossing shallow creeks, or just running errands, they’re comfortable and reliable. I don’t have to think twice—I just grab them and go.I’ve been loyal to Merrell for years, and the Blaze Aero Sport reinforces why. Their commitment to quality and performance is unmatched in the outdoor footwear space. The design strikes that perfect balance between performance and everyday practicality.This is my second purchase, and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy a third when the time comes. Highly recommend these to anyone needing a rugged, breathable, multi-use shoe that doesn’t quit.

I haven’t had a chance to wear these much, but out of the box they are very sturdy and light. The quality feels great. 10.5 is my standard size so I went with that, despite the sizing chart showing I could fit in a 10. There is a little room in the toe, so if I wanted a tight fit the half size down would probably do it. But so far these are super comfy as is.

These are very nice shoes. They are light, well built and feel comfortable. I walk alot and have no complaints. Great traction on pavement too. They look high quality. Thanks.

I love the comfort this shoe provides on the trail. I love that I dont have to worry about wading a stream in it. It is not waterproof, but is never was designed as such. It will dry later on but you need to properly wash it to get the funky smell out. It feel durable and is a great value for money. Easy to put on and take off.

Overall, I like these shoes. They work well in the water with good traction and they drain fast. The only real problem I have with them is they don't keep sand and grit out. If you don't wear socks, the grit becomes very annoying, like sandpaper on your feet. When in water, it's like wet-sanding your feet. So I took to wearing ankle socks with them. Another problem is that they seem to run a bit small, so order the next size larger.

Very light

I took these to Costa Rica for vacation through the tourist area of the jungles and they worked out great!

Size chart is accurate. Measure your heel to longest toe, late in the day, add in 1.5cm, order per the chart, and odds are high you will get an accurate result. Comfortable fit, lightweight, fast-drying, good padding, and durable.
