Review: First impression - awesome shoes - Review: Merrell Chameleon 8 Stretch (Size 7) – First Impressions Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Initial Experience) I recently purchased the Merrell Chameleon 8 Stretch in Dark Chocolate. Below are my first impressions after an initial unboxing and a brief trial run. I plan to provide a long-term update after more mileage, but here is how they perform right out of the box. Fit & Comfort Zero Break-in Period: Usually, Merrells take about a week to break in. Remarkably, these felt comfortable immediately. Sizing: I tested these with thick hiking socks; the fit was perfect—neither too tight nor too loose. Arch Support: The built-in arch support is a standout feature. It provides a noticeable lift without feeling "overdone" or intrusive. Interior Feel: The inside feels roomy and comfortable, providing a slight, pleasant warmth. Design & Build Quality Material: The dark chocolate leather feels genuine and high-quality to the touch. The design is rugged and features a unique pattern that stands out from typical hiking footwear. Lacing System: Note that these feature elastic stretch laces for a snug grip rather than traditional tie-laces. Weight: They have a solid, "considerable" weight to them, but they do not feel overly heavy or clunky. Performance & Traction Traction: The Vibram® outsole features deep lugs. Based on the design, I expect these to handle mud, rocky terrain, and gravel with ease. Mobility: As a low-profile shoe (no high ankle support), they allow for a great range of motion, which I find much more comfortable for long-distance walking. Ground Feel: After a short walk on grass/lawn, the shoes felt stable and ready for the trail. Minor Observations Removal: Because of the secure stretch fit, taking the shoes off using your other foot (hands-free) is a bit difficult, though this is a minor trade-off for such a secure fit. Road Use: While designed for trails, I intend to test these on paved roads for a 3–4 mile walk soon to see how the lugs and cushioning hold up on harder surfaces. Final Verdict I am very excited to start my next hiking journey in these. If you are looking for a rugged, authentic-feeling hiking shoe that is comfortable from the very first minute, the Chameleon 8 Stretch is an excellent contender. Review: Repeat customer for these durable shoes - Love these shoes. I’ve been buying a pair every year for many years. They’re rugged and durable. I’m rough on shoes so they need to be. The size is good and they’re comfortable. I have been putting in my own arch support soles the last year or so. I walk and hike and even snowblow in them. Highly recommend. ## Features - Nubuck leather and mesh upper - Elastic cord and lock lacing system for a quick secure fit - Bellows tongue keeps debris out - TPU molded heel counter for security - Kinetic Fit BASE removable contoured insole for flexible support ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B084M6V7KJ | | ASIN | B08T7P24XQ | | Best Sellers Rank | #219,281 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ( See Top 100 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ) #162 in Men's Hiking Shoes | | Brand | Merrell | | Closure Type | Speed Laces | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (2,802) | | Date First Available | August 28, 2019 | | Department | mens | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00044211705729 | | Has Shoe Adjustability | Yes | | Heel Type | No Heel | | Insole Material | Ethylene Vinyl Acetate | | Item Type Name | Hiking Shoe | | Item Weight | 2.7 Pounds | | Item model number | J036589 | | Manufacturer | Merrell | | Manufacturer | Merrell | | Material Fabric | leather-and-mesh,nubuck | | Model Name | Cham 8 Stretch | | Outer Material | leather-and-mesh,nubuck | | Pattern | Solid | | Product Dimensions | 10 x 15 x 6 inches | | Seasons | Spring/Summer | | Shoe Height Map | Low Top | | Shoe Type | Athletic Shoe | | Sole Material | Vibram | | Sport Type | Hiking | | Strap Type | Elastic | | Style Name | Cham 8 Stretch | | Style Number | J033091 | | Toe Style | Closed Toe | | UPC | 044211705729 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Images ![Merrell Men's Chameleon 8 Stretch Hiking Shoe - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717A5ZxIL9L.jpg) ![Merrell Men's Chameleon 8 Stretch Hiking Shoe - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-xEEzGH9L.jpg) ![Merrell Men's Chameleon 8 Stretch Hiking Shoe - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61rmAI6fXbL.jpg) ![Merrell Men's Chameleon 8 Stretch Hiking Shoe - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61vSl2vUEhL.jpg) ![Merrell Men's Chameleon 8 Stretch Hiking Shoe - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51wO3PIYJiL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ First impression - awesome shoes *by S***E on December 27, 2025* Review: Merrell Chameleon 8 Stretch (Size 7) – First Impressions Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Initial Experience) I recently purchased the Merrell Chameleon 8 Stretch in Dark Chocolate.

I've found that the vibram sole by Merrel is excellent if you're spending a lot of time walking on cement. ## Frequently Bought Together - Merrell Men's Chameleon 8 Stretch Hiking Shoe - Merrell Men's Yokota 2 Hiking Shoe - Merrell Men's Moab 3 Hiking Shoe --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/202893682-merrell-mens-chameleon-8-stretch-hiking-shoe](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/202893682-merrell-mens-chameleon-8-stretch-hiking-shoe) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
