I've worn sandals almost exclusively for many years. After Merrell discontinued his Bracken, soft-colored sandals clearly weren't enough. I am very happy to see that they are making work-ready sandals again. They fit as advertised and are very well made. As you'd expect, there's not much arch support or heel lift, but that's what a barefoot shoe is all about. The soles are nice and grippy on every surface except plastic (seriously, don't wear them on a boat or you'll slip everywhere). Hopefully Merrell will continue to make them for some time.
