I can highly recommend these shoes but you do need to buy a size larger than normal as they come up small (I'm size 11 U.K. and 12 fits perfectly). I only had to replace my old ones as the sole was finally wearing thin. The uppers were still in excellent condition and are very strong and well put together. While these aren't advertised as a waterproof shoe I can honestly say my feet have never been wet or cold in these and I have found them great for year round use including some very muddy walks and hot summer hikes. One of the most important things for a walking shoe is comfort and these won't dissapoint- after a couple of walks they seem to mould to your feet perfectly and for me they have been a joy to wear. Review: Great shoes, well made, well built, and comfy on the feet. - A great shoe, well made, great construction, and feels solid. As you'd expect from a Merrell. As others have stated in reviews, there does seem to be a sizing issue on these ones - with other Merrells I've had before I just order my normal UK 11 and they're perfect - but given the amount of people saying order at least a size larger, I did just that, and I'm glad I did. I went for a UK12, and they fit like any other 11 (for my feet, others may differ). Had I ordered the 11's, I fear they would have been a bit clippy on my feet. So well worth ordering a size up from your normal. This could be an issue in mis-labelled stock, or American sizes that have been shipped claiming to be UK etc. Who knows.....but you don't normally get this kind of thing from Merrell, so it must be an error of some kind. Other ones I've had before have all been fine, and sizing consistent. Overall though, sizing issue aside (which I'd averted thanks to other commenters) they're a fab pair of shoes capable of all weathers thanks to their chunky and grippy soles. Thumbs up. ## Features - Full grain leather upper and protective toe cap - Breathable Mesh Lining - 50 percent recycled EVA foam insole - Molded nylon arch shank - Vibram TC5+ rubber sole ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001FYZWW6 | | ASIN | B091P7Z5L7 | | Best Sellers Rank | #902,842 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ( See Top 100 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ) #1,232 in Men's Walking Shoes | | Brand | Merrell | | Closure Type | Lace-Up | | Color | Brown | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (8,805) | | Date First Available | December 31, 2006 | | Department | mens | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00098771549194 | | Has Shoe Adjustability | Yes | | Heel Type | Flat | | Insole Material | Ethylene Vinyl Acetate | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 18 Ounces | | Item model number | J73703 | | Manufacturer | Merrell | | Manufacturer | Merrell | | Material Fabric | Leather | | Model Name | J73705 | | Outer Material | Leather | | Package Dimensions | 12 x 8 x 4 inches; 12 ounces | | Pattern | Solid | | Seasons | All | | Shoe Height Map | Low Top | | Shoe Type | Oxford | | Sole Material | Synthetic | | Sport Type | Hiking | | Strap Type | Lace-Up | | Style Name | Casual | | Style Number | J73705 | | Subject Character | Occupational professional | | Toe Style | Closed Toe | | UPC | 098682379408 098771549194 | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Images ![Men's Low-top Trekking Shoes - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/711xApDILfL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Are these shoes suitable for climbing mountains in the uk such as ben nevis, snowdon?** A: Ive hiked more than 700 miles over moorland and rock, grassland and sand, climbed Snowdon, Tryfan twice and Sca Fell...and hiked half the Pennine Way in these shoes and the tread is still good, the stitching is still in one piece and they are very comfortable. Im hiking the Pacific Crest Trail in 2020 and will be buying a pair especially for it. Great shoes **Q: Are they waterproof to withstand rain? Town walks, 3-4 miles per day.** A: Not totally waterproof. I have worn them in the rain and due to ventilation water will eventually get in. However I consider them to be the best light walking shoes I have ever had (now on my 4th pair!) A good tip is to get a size bigger than normal. I normally take 10's but find 11 is perfect size for me. **Q: My other merrell intercept which i bought 5 years ago were gore-tex. are these gore-tex also?** A: No it's not, all leather, so a water repellent would have to be applied. **Q: are the soles perfectly flat or is there a slight heel raise? I can't quite tell from the photos.** A: Soles are flat, but the insole is slightly thicker at the heel, very comfortable shoe.... ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great long lasting walking shoes. *by S***E on 4 January 2023* I have just replaced my last pair of Merrell intercepts which were bought in 2017 and used as a daily shoe as well as a hiking shoe.

Now that they have been around for almost 20 years they can be picked up for around Β£80 to Β£90 ( rrp is Β£135) so I’ve dived in with a pair of 9.5 size (usually a 9) and they are a perfect fit, 9 would have been too snug, size 10 probably a bit sloppy in the heal. If you are a snug fit in your usual size I’d go a full size up, otherwise a half size up should be spot on. I think the size issue is because they are a narrow(ish) fit in the toe box and you need the extra sizing to give yourself some wiggle room in the width rather than the length. They look and feel solidly made with a great sturdy supportive sole and a mixture of thick soft leather and textiles on the upper. Love the colour combo on this blue/green version and the laces really make them pop. I have high hopes for comfy summer hill walking in these ( they are designed to be very breathable so don’t expect much waterproofness. There is a GoreTex version for that apparently) I also think Merrell are possibly phasing these out because most retailers only seem to have very small or very large sizes, which would indicate low stock. Amazon are one of the few places selling all sizes at a good price. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/50799006-mens-low-top-trekking-shoes](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/50799006-mens-low-top-trekking-shoes) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
