They fit perfectly. There are definitely no complaints. They came in a well wrapped Merrell box. I read that some people did not receive the box and were skeptical that it was fake. That's definitely not true. A strange thing. The laces on the left shoe are much longer than those on the right. I think this is just a one-time mistake, but since thick laces don't usually stay tied, I'll just go with a different type of lace. personal choice. The original laces are regular Merrell laces. They didn't have to be broken in. They just came up. Happy with the purchase and will definitely buy again.
