Why We Like The Merrell Nova 3 Hiking Shoe

The Nova 3— Merrell's best-selling trail running shoe—stands out for its trail-to-town versatility. With its lightweight construction, moderate cushioning, and everyday traction, we can wear the Nova as a trail running shoe or as a light hiking shoe or as a casual, outdoor lifestyle shoe. Updated for 2023, the 3rd edition includes more durable uppers to protect the tops of our feet, a new outsole design with moderate 4mm lugs, and softer midsoles with FloatPro Foam pods under the heel and forefoot for some added cushioning.

My favorite new shoe!

Very lightweight shoe that's really good for walking and running. One of my favorite shoes.

Trying a new brand

My trail walking shoes are at EOF and since they don't make them anymore, I decided to go with a different brand. While walking in these feels a bit different, maybe due to the large insole, I found them comfortable and look forward to many miles with them.

Shoe laces

Shoe laces are not very good quality, feel flimsy like they won’t last. Not like other shoes from Merrill.

I really miss the air flight trail running shoes. These are not the same

No More Merrell

Had a pair of Flyte’s that were comfortable right out of the box. Wore them out and saw the Nova had the same sole and tread pattern. So I bought a pair. Not the same shoe. Not very comfortable unless I use a pair of foam inserts. Then they’re tolerable. But only just. I think I’m finished with Merrell. The last two pairs of shoes I’ve bought from them have been a disappointment.

Comfortable, Not Durable

Just bought my third pair of Nova 3. Comfortable walking shoe. Soles wear out quickly.

Poor return process

Shoe too wide. And very difficult to get a return label. No success after four attempts. Why so difficult?

Severely disappointed

Your ad said shoes run large and should order 1/2 size smaller. I followed your advice and, the shoes are too tight! Essentially, non-usable without major discomfort!
