Nova 4 Waterproof trail trainers, black, MERRELL

These lasted about four days before the fabric at the crease point began to tear and kept ripping. The only thing holding them together is the crinkly waterproof fabric sock inside. I’ve never bought or worn such a poorly made shoe.

Really disappointed in the crinkle noise in every step. I've had gore-tex Novas in the past without the issue. I hope they move back to gore-tex. Otherwise, these are too noisy.

They are comfortable and work well in wet environments. However, they tried it already peeling off after about a month of use.

The shoes look great and are comfortable, but they don't last. I usually get my boyfriend new work shoes in December and June. I purchased a pair for my boyfriend for Christmas in 2025, and by March the toe area was seperating from the sole. He didn't even begin wearing them until the end of January, as he was off work most ofnthe month. He liked the comfort, color, and water proofness so much, we thought maybe just a bum pair and he bought himself another pair. He has worn them a little over 3 months, and a rip has appeared in the top of the shoes. Very disappointed.

Shoes are comfortable. They are new so not sure how long they will last but if they are anything like the 3 Mids they’ll last a while. I do how ever miss the mid style. The low cut are fine but I was hoping for the mids again.

Excellent shoes keeps my feed dry, very comfortable

The fit is excellant. Due to the lining it runs just a bit more snug and much warmer than my non-waterproof Nova 4, so I either wear them barefoot or with a very thin sock. I doubt I would wear them in any dry/hot climate - that is what my normal Nova 4's are for. Great forefoot room but not sloppy. I don't run but the walking stability, cushion and traction are perfect for me. I have not yet encountered them in slippery mud. I am 72 y.o., 6'2" 200 lbs, size 13. I have the blue/purple pair and get a lot of compliments on them.

Very comfortable, not stiff, excellent support. I can wear them all day and not suffer any or a least minimal foot fatigue. Great traction and stability on varied surfaces.
