I do not like to be too negative, but for some reason, his shoe did not fit me well.  I bought two pairs of Merrills the same day and was disappointed in how this one fit.  On the top of my foot, the shoe did not fit snug which made it move around on my foot when I walked. It seemed as if there was too much leather in the area on top of the foot. In addition, the sole of the shoe seems thin and not as supportive as most of the Merrill's I have enjoyed.  I returned it.
