I bought this product for cycling. Nylon-soled cycling shoes were too slippery. These Merrills have a solid outsole that will hold my pedals. I also wanted shoes without laces. I am very happy with my purchase and will order again.
Pros
Merrill is always in shape and has its finger on the pulse.
Cons
Great product looks like the pair I received was a return and the bottom was dirty with small dots in the lines.
