Beautiful and comfortable, but not holding up
I bought these last year and have worn them many times, but not extensively. They have been worn less than once a week typically and only about 3 times for hikes of less than 5 miles on easy trails and they have multiple holes in the upper. I love every Merrill shoe I?ve ever bought (lots) for myself and kids, but these are not up to the quality I pay for and expect from this brand.

Best shoes for plantar fasciitis!
The sole and footbed of these shoes have helped me get a handle on my plantar fasciitis! My feet do not hurt if I consistently wear these shoes and I can tell that my plantar fasciitis is beginning to resolve! I have very high arches, so this is quite a feat for a pair of shoes. Just walking without pain is an amazing feeling!
Bought a spare pair of the rainbow color cuz I love the colors and get lots of compliments on them. I like to have visible support as an Ally for the LGBTQ+ community as well.
I also bought the blue version, (it?s a gray?ish blue) so I have a more neutral color to wear as well.

Transitioning from Converse to Merrell's
I love this shoe. I wore Converse and Dr. Marten's exclusively for about 25 years. Needless to say my feet were lacking support and I started to get foot pains and couldn't walk for long periods of time. No only does this shoe meet my fun shoe needs its super supportive and comfortable. I have had a hard time finding a supportive shoe that feels good and looks cute. Cheers to the design team, great job on this one - bonus shoe box doubles as a cat condo - see photo <3

I own the original color and now this one. The first ones were brighter and prettier, these are ok.
I find them comfortable but honestly, very poorly made. My first pair wore out and fell apart in about 7 months. I mean smooth soles, holes in the upper, just cheaply mage for their cost.
I bought another pair because I like the rainbow but hardly wear them trying to keep them from falling apart!

Loved the old; not so much the new.
I have a pair of the old style Antora Rainbows. I LOVE THEM. I still love them. I have nearly loved them to death. I ordered a new pair, unaware that they had been re-styled. Boo. I just cannot make myself like the updated pair. They hurt my feet and feel too wide. Can someone recommend another pair of Merrells (not worried about the color scheme) that are built more like the older model Antoras?

?this is one of the most (if not best) lightweight sneaker I've ever purchased. Instant comfort-no need to 'break in' the sneaker. The toe box is comfortable for my long toes. Also, the shoe doesn't make the foot look long. I purchased the red in my normal size (7 1/2). I'll be purchasing 2 more pair in different colors ? Merrill, I hope this shoe will be available for at least the next few years! Thank you!

I took my Merrells out for an easy hike in Minnewaska State Park, and for a more challenging hike at Hartshorn Woods. I found them to be a little stiff at first, but once they were on my feet for about an hour they were comfortable, supportive, and grippy when I needed them to be.

This is my second pair of Rainbow Antoras. I love the fit and stability of this shoe! I have a slight handicap which causes me to stumble easily, and the Antora is the best style I've found for a terrific fit, and no places on the shoe that catch on carpet, etc.. Lots of room in the toe box without sacrificing a nice, narrow heel. Removable insole allows me to use my orthotic, and the rainbow just makes everything more fun, right? (When I was teaching, my Rainbow Antoras always got compliments!)

When the Antora Rainbows I bought in May finally gave out (after at least three miles a day, EVERY day) I was devastated! They are by far the most comfortable shoes I've ever had. I tried to order a new pair but they were sold out, so I ordered these with high hopes that they'd be as wonderful as the pair they'd be replacing. But they are so hard, stiff, with the insole contours in completely different places than the originals - I can't wear them. I tried waiting and trying them on at different times of day, thinking maybe it was my feet. But they just never felt right. Sadly I have missed the deadline for returning them - that's on me. The Antora Rainbows are STILL out in my size - and really I'm afraid they might be manufactured somewhere different than the first pair. Not sure what happened - from the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever had to the most uncomfortable pair by far.
