I liked the shoe, it seemed fine.  I had to return it as it was too long.  I usually wear a size 10.5 or 42, but they were unavailable.  The size chart (and the box itself, when it arrived) said the size 11 was 42.5, which would have worked for me with thick socks.  However, the shoe itself said 45, not 42.5!  I don't know what the problem is, the shoe or the box, but the shoe definitely was almost 2 inches too long.  Perhaps mis-labeled?  So I never got to wear them but they seemed like a great Merrell shoe, and I do have a lot of Merrells.
