My first pair ever of a "slip on" shoe was a have a pair of Sperry's Canoe shoes that are great.  I wear them around the house and while driving on long trips so I thought getting a little more substance pair for wearing to the office and short walks in the park would be good.  I chose the Merrell Linz.  They are not near as comfortable as the Sperry but then again they are a little more heavy duty in the sole.  the fit was a little large for the size.  I wear a solid 10.5 and these fit like 11s.  I had to add a better ortho for bed to take up the slack.  I don't think I'd buy these again at least not at full price.
