Merrell Men's Annex Trak LowHiking Shoe

Lovely & wide. Really comfortable & waterproof. Merrell have finally produced a sole that doesn’t wear out after three months ! They were not cheap but they are worth the money. A good sturdy pair of walking shoes that really fit the bill

Really poor quality for Merrell shoes. I’ve had a pair of annex trax shoes before (older style) and they lasted over 2 years with constant use for work and pleasure.This pair hasn’t lasted 7 months (with reduced wear due to covid so probably about 3-4 months of normal use) with a spilt at the upper and sole join on the right shoe. Seeing other comments this seems to be common for this style which is a massive shame as they are really comfy and lightweight and I can happily wear them for 12 hours with no complaints. I really hope Merrell sort it out/is only a batch problem because these really are so useful for work and pleasure.I contacted Amazon through the app and it was easy to get a refund for them. I will buy another pair and give it another go as I love the shoes. Hope I’m not here commenting again in 6 months...

Comfortable & nice looking walking trainers.Fit nicely with tight laces.Look expensive and sturdy.Only ever worn them in the street going to the Pubs.Can worn with jeans,walking trousers,etc.I actually like them very much.

I've bought Merrel walking shoes/boots several times before and never had an issue. These particular ones are very comfortable, I like them a lot. Unfortunately after only a month of regular wear they have split along the side. Very disappointing.I'm revising this review with this addition; despite the product being faulty I have received some simply superb customer service in responce to my complaint which has entirely resolved my issue. Due to this I would now not hesitate to do business with this seller again. I may even reorder the shoes as I was assured it was a one off manufacturing defect. They really are very comfortable shoes.Truely exemplary service!

I bought these to replace a pair of Merrell Blaze Low walking shoes that were just plain worn out! I chose the Annex Trak Low as a replacement as it's a slightly lighter weight shoe than the Blaze, and I didn't need the added weight of the waterproof feature since I proof my shoes with a water repellent spray, this works fine in all but the wettest conditions. I walk 2 km to and from work each day and wanted a shoe that was also comfortable enough to wear all day at work.The first thing I do with a walking shoe is to replace the fitted insole with a good quality sports insole, and I simply reused the Superfeet Green insoles from my old pair of Blazes. The Superfeet Green is the best sports insole I've found, and although they're pricey (around £30), they are super comfortable and they last forever! I also replaced the standard flat laces with a better quality round sports lace.Fitting wise, I take a UK 10 / EU 44 and wear my shoes with a normal cotton sock. Even with the slightly thicker Green insoles, the size 10 which I ordered was an excellent fit. My feet are quite broad and the width fitting was also good. If you plan to wear a thicker walking sock then I would recommend going for a half size bigger. Note that after a few km of walking, the shoes do tend to "give" a little if at first they feel slightly tight.I own several pairs of Merrell sports and lightweight walking shoes and the Annex Trak Low hasn't disappointed me.

Not the best Merrell shoe.I love Merrell!I have been wearing them for years and currently own 4 pairs!These are disappointing.The arch support is further back towards the heel than the usual fit.The sole material is too hard and doesn’t grip wet surfaces well.These are everyday shoes and are fine but only just.

I love Merrell shoes, I have to say.I’ve had loads of pairs over the years. They are super comfortable straight out of the box and (usually) of excellent quality. Sadly this particular model isn’t very well made.I bought these in summer of 2021, and only started to wear them in February of 2023, so I can’t return them for a refund, but I would if I could. Much like some of the other reviews you’ll read here I experienced the same fault - the shoe upper came away from the outsole after only a half dozen outings. This only happened on the right shoe and other than the thumb sized gaping hole the rest of the shoe is fine. Not fit for purpose letting in water. I haven’t included a photo, because the defect is the same as some of the other reviews listed here.I’m more disappointed than angry.I love the brand, have other differing pairs and will still buy Merrell, but I’d say in the case of this particular model - it’s buyer beware.

Good fit and solid shoe
