Grippy outsole makes you surefooted
Based on the general wearers' feedback, the Merrell Siren Edge 3 WP performs admirably when it comes to traction. Ladies attested to its gripping capacity on the following surfaces: rocky, steep hills, tree roots, rocks, river crossings, cobblestone streets, wet wooden planks, stone steps, grassy fields, etc.
The only caveat is that the rubber grooves tend to hold mud more than desired.

Be it hiking or daily walking, this Merrell Siren shoe proves to be a blissfully comfortable companion. The reviewers report feeling free of pain and fatigue after wearing the shoe for hours. In the words of one lady, "each step feels like the bottom of my feet are being massaged."
They mentioned that it is not a plush and spongy kind of cushion but a fairly firm and supportive one.
