Order AT LEAST one size up if not more! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by C***Y on 19 February 2026* Están geniales, súper la calidad y el diseño aparte muy cómodos no te cansas ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by T***O on 12 May 2017* REVIEW; MERRELL INTERCEPT WALKING SHOES UK. SIZE RECEIVED 9 BLUE WING. ( NOTE: I GOT LUCKY; TO HAVE BEEN SENT A SIZE SLIGHTLY LARGER THAN REQUESTED!) FIT: AS EXPECTED! DESIGN: EXCELLENT. IMPRESSIVE! HIGHLY SUGGEST AND RECOMMEND TO BUY ONE SIZE LARGER!! REASON: TOE BOX IS SLIGHTLY SMALLER THAN EXPECTED. SOLES/ HEEL DESIGN: EXCELLENT S- SHAPED - TOE TO - HEEL -LUGS --GRIPPY SOLES. INNER SOLE ARCHES AND COMFORT: MEDIUM -GOOD -SUGGEST: SORBATHANE RUBBER INSOLES FOR ADDED INNER SOLE COMFORT. OVERALL SHOE VENTING: EXCELLENT: This particular MERRELL SHOE DESIGN has side holes and mesh venting on the upper portion of the shoe. The holes and mesh design is quite,uniique in this hiking shoe. These venting hole and mesh design allows lateral air flow venting to cool your feet in comfort. HEELS: Although I felt the heel needed to be thicker; due to the daily wear and tear punishment the heel of the shoe receives. The downside of making the heel thicker would entail making this hiking shoe heaver and would take away the the unique sole design structure. My experience with the MERRELL shoes I purchased; is; that all FOUR (4)pairs of MERRELL shoes that I've purchased; have WORN DOWN HEELS! Yet, the soles look almost new! ALTHOUGH I rotate my Merrell shoes; the HEELS OF THE MERRELL SHOES wear out TOO SOON ---within six to eight months. HEEL REPAIR COST: $30.00+:::((( LACES:: :(( "SORRY" YOU HAVE TO TIE THEM UP! THESE ARE NOT "SLIP ON SHOES" LIKE; THE LACES ON A PAIR OF EXCELLENT MERRELL CHAMELEON LOCK LACES . SUGGEST PURCHASE AFTER MARKET LACE LOCK LACES. COLOR REQUESTED BLUE WING COLOR RECEIVED: DARK ULTRAMARINE BLUE** ADVERTISEMENT: The PROMOTIONAL ADVERTISEMENT shows a: VERY UNIQUE, ATTRACTIVE, AND almost TURQUOISE Blue COLOR --- ( HENCE THE NAME: BLUE WING) TO THESE MERRELL INTERCEPT WALKING SHOES. (OPINION: I MAY BE WRONG IN SAYING THIS BUT; TO MY EYES;) The Promotional ad seems to have an OVERALL --- "YELLOWISH FILTERED TINT". This technique may have been done to SHIFT or CHANGE a part of the THE SHOE COLOR. In PHOTOGRAPHY; this can ACCENT /HIGHLIGHT the small bright yellow GOLDEN ROD "VIBRAM" lettering that could appear dull in the final Photo PROMOTIONAL ADVERTISEMENT. Unfortunately; this photographic technique MAY also shift the "ACCENTED PASTEL BLUE WING TURQUOISE TO A DARK ULTRAMARINE BLUE CONCLUSION: DESPITE my "PICKY" advertisement disappointment; These Merrill Intercept made the VIKING Journey from the UNITED KINGDOM- SORRY THEY DIDN'T BRING ANY TEA AND CRUMPETS!!. I still would give these MERRELL INTERCEPT WALKING SHOES UK MY: "BUY AGAIN" COMFORT APPROVAL! ADVICE: DON'T FORGET : IF YOU BUY THESE: MERRELL INTERCEPT WALKING SHOES BLUE WING : 1) PURCHASE A SIZE LARGER; FOR THE MUCH NEEDED ADDED "TOE WIGGLE COMFORT TREATMENT " THAT YOUR FEET TRUELY DESERVE IN THE TOE BOX. 2) TRY TO GET THE CORRECT COLOR TO MATCH YOUR CASUAL LIFESTYLE.
