Merrell Mens Nova 3 Tactical Mid Waterproof

As a police officer with size 15 wide feet, finding duty boots that actually fit, hold up, and don’t wreck my knees has been a struggle. After trying Danner, Bates, and 5.11s, I gave the Merrell Nova 3 Tactical Mids a shot — and I’m glad I did.👣 Fit & Comfort (5/5)I ordered 15W, and they fit perfectly out of the box — no toe pinching, no pressure points.Feels more like a trail runner than a boot. Lightweight, breathable, and easy on the knees during long shifts.The heel cushioning is excellent for long hours on concrete or pavement.🌧 Waterproofing (4.5/5)They've handled rain, puddles, and light flooding with no problem.Not insulated, but with thick socks, they’re fine in colder weather.🚓 On-Duty Performance (5/5)Traction is excellent — no slipping during foot pursuits or wet conditions.Just the right balance of ankle support and mobility.Great for patrol, traffic stops, foot beats, and range training. Still holding up strong.🔧 Durability (TBD but promising)Months in and no signs of failure — stitching, sole, and waterproofing all still solid.Toe guard and outsole seem like they’re built for punishment.🛠 Pro Tip:Wear them on a couple shorter shifts first. They break in quickly, but feel even better after a few wears.👮‍♂️ Bottom LineIf you’re in law enforcement, security, EMS, or any job that requires hours on your feet, these are a smart pick — especially if you have big or wide feet. Lightweight, supportive, waterproof, and comfortable straight out of the box.Would definitely buy again.

I don’t ever write reviews, but these boots are amazing!Light weight & comfortable!Waterproof works 100%The soles that come with are comfortable as well & interchangeable

Best work purchase ever. Very comfortable easy break in very light and easy to walk around in and be on your feet in makes life at work so much more enjoyable. As well as comfortable to run in if needed. Anti slip is Also helpful.

Wanted to get these because they looked comfortable, which they are. The customer service is outstanding. Had an issue with this pair and contacted the company. They were great! They walked me through how to fill out a form and submit it. They sent me back an in store credit to get another pair. These are great boots and customer service is outstanding!

I normally wear an 11.5 but it was necessary to size up to a size 12. Overall they are very comfortable and are well made.

Most comfortable boots I have ever owned. Feels like a running shoe. Very satisfied! 5 stars *****

The boots claim to be waterproof there not ,1st snow after I got home feet were soaked ,Don't know what to do ,guess send em back...Other than my feet being wet the boots look awesome ,very comfortable but better fit for fall,spring boot...

Best shoes out there. Merrell makes the best boots/shoes. Fit is always right I have had many merrell shoes last me years. A little expensive but worth every penny
