From Backcountry.com:
"The Merrell Men's Chameleon II Stretch Hiking Shoes feature Lycra/neoprene four-way stretch collars for a level of flexibility you'll be hard-pressed to find in any other hiking shoe. Supple leather fingers support and protect the Chameleon's breathable mesh upper, which keeps fresh air flowing to your foot, and serve as anchors for the shoe's quick-pull lacing system. These lightweight hiker feature supportive EVA footbeds and nylon arch shanks and Air Cushion midsoles for shock absorption on speed hikes you won't make it to the summit with throbbing feet. Merrell recommends wearing the Chameleon II Stretch Shoe with a midweight hiking sock."
From Altrec Outdoors:
"If going fast on trails is second nature, the easy-fitting Chameleon II Stretch is second skin. Built with more reinforcement material along the upper than most trail running shoes, Merrell's easy-access trail shoe features extra comfort and fit features like an elastic cord lacing system and convenient friction cordlock. Above the impact-absorbing Air Cushion midsole is a contoured 4.5-mm. anatomical footbed backed by a supportive nylon 6.6 injection molded arch shank. The Vibram Chameleon Sport sole looks narrower than some bulky hiking shoes, but Merrell divided the high traction sole between long-lasting Dura rubber lugs and grippy Versa rubber lugs for reliable hold on a range of surfaces. If you're looking for some extra weather protection, consider checking out the waterproof and breathable Merrell Chameleon II Gore-Tex XCR shoe."
From RockCreek:
"The Chameleon II Stretch by Merrell offers speed and versatility with stretchy, second-skin feel and easy access. Peripheral Nubuck leather fingers with sub surface protective bumpers support the breathable mesh upper and serve as hitching posts for the quick-tug elastic lacing system. The Chameleon is perfect for speed hiking or light hiking with a lightweight pack (15-20 lbs or less) in dry conditions; general outdoor recreation. Stylish alternative to sneakers. Best worn with mid-weight socks."

I wasn't so sure about the slipper fit design, not having a tongue like a normal shoe, but I grew fond of it. I'm young, I've got to try new things, right?
I like the pull string shoe laces, and the only reason this shoe doesn't get a whole 5 stars is because the shoe bungies are hard to deal with once you tighten your shoes."
