Very comfortable with ideal technology
Comfortable. Attractive. True to size. Sole provides desired traction. Very attractive appearance. BOA lacing system is great since it allows an accurate and appropriate degree of tension to maintain a secure fit. Most recently used for extensive city touring during international travel and the shoes were ideal.

Kills my toes.
These are the most uncomfortable shoes I have ever bought. I really tried to like them but something with the design causes abrasion on my little toes. My small toe is right wear the cable loops through on the shoe and provides a pressure point in that area. I love boa shoes and was excited about these but they start to hurt my feet within an hour of wearing them. I powered through a few weeks of wearing them but it was the worst experience. The cushioning is a lot more stiff than I was expecting. Nothing that really screams innovation to me. I have gotten compliments on them but they are the worst.

Great looks, fit, & feel
Love the fit! The BOA really locks in the heel. The ride is stable despite being so tall and they look great.

The worst thing Merrell has ever made.
I'm not sure what purpose these serve in the lineup based on price and comfort. First of all there is no cushion in the tongue so when you cinch up the straps that's what you feel and you get left with lines across your foot. The rest of the shoe is just a thin scratchy canvas like material as well. The sole also has zero give. You are basically wearing stiff platform shoes. Not as hard as the Moab concrete slab soles, but no where near the comfort level of the Peak 5. No squish, bounce, or give when walking. Other than good looking they just suck. For the price, you are just getting ripped off. Hard review to leave with a closet full of Merrell shoes I love.

The perfect shoe for everyday!
I’ve been wearing the SpeedARC Surge BOAs for the last few weeks and they have completely exceeded my expectations. From wearing them on everyday errands, to trail runs on the weekend, this the perfect shoe for the everyday adventurer. The functionality of the BOA system gives them a great feel and the outsole has a soft, but supportive cushion

Comfortable, great for hikes, highly recommended!
These shoes were amazing to wear. Comfortable and the added height made it great for hiking trails, incline hikes, and even nighttime jogs. Great for running and the added height is a bonus!

Stylish and sturdy
These shoes are stylish and comfortable with great support! Pretty unique to have an everyday shoe that can handle hikes as well as get compliments from friends for being so cool. Only 4 stars because the buckle tighteners don't always stay where you set them and it can be annoying to retighten them.

Innovative Design; Great Comfort and Versatility
I’ve been wearing the SpeedARC Surge BOAs for a few weeks now, and I can confidently say this shoe is ahead of its time. It is stylish and functional. The BOA lacing system lets me make precise adjustments and a snug fit that stays comfortable throughout my walks, jogs, and casual outings. I don’t have to bother about loosening laces or tying my shoes ever again. The shoes feel sturdy on uneven trails and smooth pavements, which speaks to their versatile design. The craftsmanship and minimalist futuristic aesthetic make these shoes a great addition to my collection.

Futuristic trail shoes with fantastic support
These shoes are incredibly unique and eye catching. You will be the talk of the hiking trail in these. Very secure on the feet with adjustable knobs. The white is tough to keep clean.
