What's up with the quality control, Merrell? I used to swear by Merrell shoes, most of my trail running and hiking shoes were Merrell. I needed to replace two pairs recently, so I bought Merrell again. One pair's left shoe has something pressing hard against my arch. The other pair's right shoe had (I guess) extra material sewn in in of the stitches, so it rubbed painfully against my foot. I don't think I'll be buying Merrell online anymore -- hard to predict what you'll get.
