I own over seven pairs of Merrell's and I bought these for a friend, they are beautifully made and of great quality. Fit him like a glove! But what I've found the rule of merrell's is - if you have normal width or narrow width feet, buy true to size. If you have wide feet, order a half size to a full size up. I'm never going back from merrell and neither is my friend. Great company and great shoes!
