Comfort, convenience, so-so durability

Awful, don't buy it!!

"I would never recommend this product to anyone! Ever since Merrell was bought by Wolverine, the quality of their Gore-tex footwear is atrocious. I've had six different Gore-tex Merrell's, all of which have leaked like sieves. They used to be awesome products, but now they are the exact opposite. Too bad, because it's a great, comfortable shoe otherwise...." Read Full Review »

"These are the best athletic shoes I have ever owned. I'm on my third pair and am going to buy a 4th for a reserve pair when these wear out.

From the moment I put them on for the first time, my feet felt at home. There is no adjustment period. I love not having laces, although I carry a shoe horn …"  Read Full Review »
