I bought these shoes in mid April. Here is my 3 month review. JUNK. I thought at first they were a tad small, but barely, so I stretched them for a few days. They were very nice after that...for about a month. Mind you, I have many pairs of shoes. I wore these maybe 3 or 4 days a week to work. After a month and a half, the inside of the right heel started to fall apart inside the lining. It's jabbing my foot. Now the beginning of July the left one is doing it, but 3 times worse. The picture isn't great, it doesn't look like much, but it's like a hard small dagger until you move it to where it doesn't hurt. I can't get it out of the heel. Very disappointed.  I would not recommend these shoes and will never buy them again. Seem very cheeply made in the heel. As I said, JUNK. Merrel should be ashamed to sell this crap.
