I really wanted these to work, but the heel cup was way too roomy for me. I have a narrow fit, and Merrell's are known for being wider, and these are certainly true to form. If you have a bit wider foot, these might work for you.

Pros:
+ Thick cushioning and support throughout
+ Minimal heel-to-toe drop (only 6mm)
+ Good traction
+ Innovative lace feature seems like a nice addition

Cons:
- Will only fit those with wider feet
- Arch support is uncomfortable and out of place (pushes up significantly under the ball of the foot)
- Sizing is massively off on these (a full size!). Even with my previous pair of Merrell's, I wore an 11.5. The same size 11.5 inserts I used in those shoes fit perfectly in these. I wear 11.5 in nearly every brand and type of shoe, but the 10.5 fit my foot length perfectly with these.
