Baskets de trail NOVA 4 WATERPROOF noir MERRELL

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.

Too Narrow and Waterproof Materials Sounds Like a Unwrapping a Candy with Each Step. Returned

This shoe is flexible and comfortable. Hard to believe its actually waterproof.

It’s like they fixed the collapsing heel issue that the Nova 2’s and made the perfect shoe with the Nova 3’s, and then thought it would be good to ruin them again and bring back the heel issue for the 4’s. Why??? I had 3 pairs of 3s and loved them, and my 4s didnt even make a whole summer hiking season before the left heel wore down so much they’re unusable unless I want to be unbalanced and get weird soreness and pain from hiking/running like that. So disappointing and I will probably look at Altra or something else for my next pair.
