These are cool, fashionable and well made shoes.  I wear them to work and I spend about 10 hours a day on my feet.  In usual Merrell fashion they are very comfortable for prolonged wear.  Break in was a bit tough, but only took about a week.  The only ding I would give them is that they are not very breathable.  By the end of a shift my feet feel hot and moist, which is unusual for me.
