This is the 2nd pair I ordered because this design runs a half size larger than other Merrells (I've worn this brand for 20 years). Otherwise it's a nice change from the standard mesh Merrell design (of which I have several). The rubber edge will be nice for rainy weather. I've only worn them for a day but they seem comfortable although not as supportive as my other pairs. I like the contrast of the gray trim on the black mesh. The other pair I ordered was called blue but was actually a really nice light gray (the image on the screen was accurate ).
