Merrell is the only brand of shoes and sandals I wear. As noted in other reviews, the arch support isn't quite as high as other Merrell sandals so I won't be wearing them for long walks but I still like them because they are nice looking. I don't know why Merrell felt the need to redesign their QForm - the new design doesnt provide as much support and stability as the old design. Also, the material used for the base of the sandal is too hard.
