Review on Men'S Outdoor Hiking Sandals Closed Toe Athletic Sport Lightweight Trail Walking Summer Water Shoes by Gonzalo Marshall

I was trying to replace a pair of favorite closed-toe Merrill sport sandals that I used for ten years. I am EXTREMELY fussy about shoes so read this with that in mind.When I ordered the exact same size of Merrell’s latest closed to sandal, it was either too small or too big (I ordered two pair and returned both).I thought I would take a chance with these since by the photo they appear similar and have surprisingly favorable reviews.But these are not for me.The support is weak compared to a superior brand.The sole is too stiff.The elastic laces do not allow one to sufficiently tighten the show to provide better support.The leather is stiff and looks and feels - well, cheap, like imitation.End result: you get what you pay for.If you can be satisfied with fair quality at a fair price, go for it, and good luck.But if you want a sport sandal that fits wel and lasts for 10 years with heavy use - including ten mile day hikes - then make the investment in a superior sandal.Three stars because it is average/acceptable bit nothing special.(My apologies to the manufacturer for a mediocre review. I understand that you are working with several constraints, but I want to be totally honest for the sake of potential customers.)
