I love Merrell's and have bought three or four pairs, in similar style, size 10.  These are definitely short - my small toes hang off the end (weird, right?) They are still comfortable - I hate to return them but I can't wear them as they are. FYI - Petz charges for returns - somehow missed that this wasn't a Prime free return.  Pain in the neck - why bother to buy shoes online if you have to pay for returns?
