They're ok
I like the design of the Nova 3 better. I would say the upper on these is about equal to the 3's. To early to tell on the wear and tear yet. I had my 3's about 1 1/2 before I saw some significant tearing on the upper. And, I walked with them every day, 2-5 miles, both asphalt and trails. The laces are the same which is actually horrible on both. If they could use the ones that come on the Altras that would be awesome. I change them out as soon as I get them. The soles on these are horrible. With the others I was like "yeah Vibram, whatever, so what, ok". Now I get it. Since having these I have bruised both feet. One on the heel and one on the balls of my feet. I walked the exact same roads and trails as always. So no one can chalk up to a singular event, a specific area of the sole, or new roads and/or trails. These just suck. On a positive note, I do like the Drab color pattern I bought them in better.

Definitely a winner
Simply comfortable and supportive right out of the box.
Customer review from Merrell
Terrible durability, don’t waste your money.
Unfortunately these fell apart way too quickly with big holes in the uppers in a few months of relatively light use. A warranty claim was denied, so apparently they think this is normal and appropriate for these shoes. It’s too bad because in the past I’ve always liked Merrill’s and found them to be durable and comfortable. Not the Nova 4. Save your money and buy something else, or go to a company that stands behind their products.

I love these shoes!
Very comfortable shoe. I have medium-high arches, and I can feel the arch support in these. I love running in these shoes. I've ran on the road, track, and trail, and these do it all comfortably.

Thanks for sharing your feedback! Happy you love them!
comfy, sturdy, stylish
Merrell continues to improve the Nova every year. This latest iteration has a taller and wider foundation (kinda like Hoka's but much more stylish) that feels more planted to the ground. That said, because it is wider, it feels less agile for trail running in tight places and for quick turns, but way more stable for walking, standing, and jogging compared to Nova 3.
