Recommendations on replacement for Merrell Waterpro Maipo 2 shoe (women's)
Hi, new to the group. I've been hiking (and just generally going about all of my day to day life) in Merrell's Maipo 2 shoe for quite a few years now. But, they don't make the model anymore and I can't find any remaining ones in my size either. I haven't been able to find a shoe that is similar, so wanted to check if anyone might have any recommendations?
To explain in a bit more. I love(d) this shoe's flexibility. It goes everywhere (for me) and has always kept my feet and toes comfy whether it be walking in the city, on a multi day hike, and in both warmer and cooler weather. My biggest issue with the shoes that I see available now are the soles: they are enormous. I hate the aesthetics of a sole that goes out beyond the edges of the shoes. And in terms of comfort I hate the rigidity of a sole that doesn't bend. I'm also looking for something fairly thin and breathable, as I tend to run hot. And, though it is a lot to ask, not too much more expensive - the Merrell's were already splurgy for my budget.
Any advice on other options would be great!!
