Review on Merrell Alpine Sneaker Black Ripstop Men's Shoes by Tony Battaglia

Firstly, the good thing, the shoes look understated and stylish and are very comfortable. The not so good part is that it also looks a bit flimsy. The absolute bad part is the grip that the outsole offers. As long as you walk on a level, paved, and dry surface, you're good to go. But even on slightly slippery or wet surfaces, this is a death trap. The grip angle and smooth rubber make slipping forward inevitable. I've already had two bad falls, the second time I hit the back of the head so hard I bled profusely for more than 10 minutes and ruined not only my t-shirt but even my pants (it rained and washed away the blood when you wonder how this is possible).
