What Shoppers are Saying
The Speed Solo Mids are some of the most comfortable hiking shoes out there: “I haven’t owned more comfortable hiking shoes than these. They are my absolute favorite pair, and they look amazing. I get at least one compliment every time I wear them.” A second reviewer chimed in with, “Extremely comfortable and very lightweight. Have hiked numerous times over varied terrain. Best hiking boots I have ever had.”
These make great travel shoes as well, as confirmed by one shopper who wrote, “I purchased these shoes for my trip to Florence, Italy. I needed a high top for support for walking in Cinque Terre. They are very light, very great. In Venice, it was raining on the day we arrived, but my feet stayed perfectly dry and did not slip on wet stone pavement. They fit my needs perfectly.” Another shopper wrote, “I wear these shoes for every day and everything. Very comfortable.”
Whether you’re traveling, hiking, or walking, the Merrell Speed Solo Mid Waterproof Hiking Shoes are a reliably comfortable choice for $90. A few sizes are already out of stock, so you should jump on this deal before the size you want runs out.
