Very comfortable shoes but the sole sucks. I go fishing in streams. Merrell never let me down wrong. Til today. After only a few fishing trips (maybe 10 miles) the soles came off and almost half of the little cleats were worn down the whole way. I am very disappointed in Merrell. I used to understand that you have to pay for quality, so I used Merrells a lot. Now they seem to have gone the way of everyone else. Sell junk at a high price just because they have a good reputation.
