From Backcountry.com:
"The Merrell Men's Chameleon Hex Hiking Shoes are like Jeeps of the foot world-the bottoms handle rough terrain while the tops provide fresh-air breathability. Molded nylon arch shanks, air-cushion midsoles, and instep stability arms are like the comfy, cushioned seats and safety seatbelts in your four-wheeler, while four-millimeter lugs and Vibram soles are like grippy tires on the trail. Mesh uppers create constant windows-down breathability, while leather straps protect your feet from kick-up."

"I've used this particular model from Merrell on two through hikes. 5,200 miles on 4 pairs, my only complaint is that it took a few other models to find this one!

I averaged anywhere from 1,100 to 1,400 miles on each pair which is incredible. The first thing that always gives on this model is the mesh, which cracks vertically exposing the interior."

"Just got them and they are great. Had a test run in them last night and I have no complaints. Great transition shoe for off road triathletes. Great support and feel on the trail."

"I haven't been able to really put these sneakers to the test. So far so good. Very comfortable, no break in time required. I love the rip cord laces so easy to get tight and hit the trails. They curve to the surface you are travelling over, when climbing rocks they seem to just hug the rock so no slipping."
