From Altrec Outdoors:
"If hot trails and desert day hikes are on your life list of things to do, Merrell's versatile and breathable Chameleon II Ventilator shoe is an essential companion. Like other Chameleon II offerings, the Chameleon II Ventilator is a lightweight day hiker, but this one breathes deeper with flow-through defense mesh panels and an airy Airflow Mesh lining. 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 and a female-specific Q-Form triple density compression molded EVA frame. This is a great summer trail shoe that adapts well to other hot weather activities, but if you anticipate rainy outings, take a moment to click over to the waterproof and breathable Merrell Chameleon II Gore-Tex XCR shoe."

From REI:
"Superior traction, support and breathability make this all-purpose trainer a sound choice for vigorous outdoor pursuits in warm climates. Durable split-grain leather uppers with abrasion-resistant Defense Mesh panels offer lightweight flexibility, slip-lasted fit and superb ventilation. Injection-molded thermo-plastic urethane toe bumpers, heel counters and instep overlays enhance stability and durability. Airflow Mesh lining wicks away excess moisture from feet for comfort and dries quickly. Removable anatomical footbeds add cushioning to In-Board™ compression-molded EVA midsoles with Air Cushion® heel pockets. Tapered nylon midsole supports with injection-molded nylon arch shanks help control flex while enhancing support and protection from rough terrain. Q-Form™ alignment system provides women with a precise anatomical fit for superb, tailored comfort. Vibram® Chameleon Sport™ outsoles feature Versa and TC1 Dura rubber for superior traction and durability on wet and dry surfaces."

"These are another of the reasons why Merrells are about to leave my list of "to buys". They look nice, they feel nice, but they hardly stand up to "work", let alone any serious hinking.

That, and they suffer from what I can only describe as the "Merrell stink"."
