Our endless summer essential now with highly evolved breathability for hiking or biking the trails. A lattice-like overlay of Dura leather strapping supports and protects while enhancing the open-window venting of the breathable mesh upper that is a Merrell mark. Full bumper protection at the toe and around the heel. Proven Vibram Multi-Sport sole with TC5+ rubber compound for grip and durability.
This is my first Merrells
Just received the shoes...Fit great and they look great to...Can't wait to use them hiking in costa rica next month
Great shoe
Comfortable out of the box. Looks good enough to wear around town but great for day hikes. This is my second pair of this style and I also own the mid height style.
4th pair
Merrell is the only brand that consistently fit my husband's feet and provide adequate support. He is on his 4th pair of this style. He prefers this style for hiking and summer use because his feet stay cool.

My First Merrells But Not My LAst
Great shoes--comfortable, well-designed, nice-looking. This was exactly the kind of shoe I have been looking for for years, but just didn't know it.
Excelllent choice
Love this shoe. Feels broke in from the day you put them on. Great price and great service, too.
Buy again and again
I'm on my second pair. Amazing shoe, plenty of stability and cushioning. I used to run also. I wouldn't run a race in them, but it's a great ride for a training shoe. From November to March...don't think that I took them off.
Great Shoes for the Value
Very comfortable for walking around in either rugged or smooth terrain. Highly recommend both the shoes and Altrec.com.
great multi-purpose shoe
I have worn the Ventilators for 6 months now and I have to say they are easily the best "compromise" hiker I've worn. Best for 2-5 mile walks over predictable terrain, but still very supportive over rocks, roots, and doing moderate elevation. Not bad for plain old casual wear also. Would definitely recommend
I would buy again
Nice shoes, very comfortable, I have worn them alot fishing. They were shipped quickly with no problems. I would buy from Altrec again. Thanks
Must Be Good!
My boyfriend and I were going to Dominica for five days. Dominica is a very mountainous island, and most of the sites require light hiking anywhere from a matter of minutes to three hours.
After falling off the roof when building his house, my boyfriend almost had to have his right foot amputated...luckily a surgeon took him on as a case study to rebuild his foot. He is often in pain when he is on his foot for long periods of time.
So I searched for a pair of hiking shoes in a wide size that would be comfortable and protect his foot when we did any hiking in Dominica. I found this shoe, and not only did he like the style of the shoe, but it was the only pair of shoes he took on the trip, and he didn't complain about his foot once!
Solid performer and excellent work shoe.
I'm on my third pair. They are great, comfortable work shoes and good for long distance walking and hiking as well. Would get five stars, but they lack some impact resistance and can also leave your feet a little sore in jagged rocky terrain. In the wrong environment it seems like you can feel every pebble! Be careful!
A great hiking shoe
I take a wide fitting shoe and the ventilator has to be the most comfortable hiking shoe I have put on straight out of the box. Absolutely no rubbing or blisters even on a strenuous 5 mile walk from new.
I bought the shoes for hiking in the Stirling Range in West Australia, but used them in the snow in Montana and my feet remained dry in spite of the ventilation.
