I love, love, love these shoes. Merrills are the only shoe that I can put on with no break in period. I wanted a comfortable shoe for work. Im on the concrete all day. These have a super soft but supportive inner sole. Kinda memory foam-ish. The bottom sole is a good solid material and grips the floor well. Theyre light weight and have a nice look as well. I highly recommend these. Im seriously contemplating buying another pair.
