Merrell Antora 4 Wp review: what runners say

Fit

Runs narrow: wide-footed runners should consider a half size up or the available wide version. Secure heel lockdown, midfoot well wrapped by the lacing system.

Feel

Soft cushioning with FloatPro foam that never feels heavy; solid energy return for a training trail shoe. The platform delivers enough stability for moderate single track without sacrificing lightness.

Durability

Outsole wears quickly: reported after just one month of trail use. Upper construction is solid, but the softer rubber makes it a poor fit for high mileage or abrasive terrain.

Best for

Easy and mixed trail, gravel, hybrid road-to-dirt use. Suited for beginner or intermediate runners at short to mid distances (3–10 miles). Also works well as a travel shoe and for everyday outdoor activities.

Weak points

Two recurring issues: outsole that breaks down early (multiple sources), and an abnormal sole noise during walking described as a squeaking or creaking from the foam.
