Upon seeing these shoes on the website, we felt as though they were the shoes we'd been looking for.  Ive owned Merrell in the past and enjoy them very much.  My wife decided she wanted to purchase a new pair, for me, for Christmas.  We had combed several sites when we came across these on Amazon.  Looking at the picture, we felt that the walnut color was what I needed to replace another brown set that I previously had.  We were wrong.  The picture on the site dipicts the color as being much more brown than they actually are.  They actually appear to be more of a gray color.  The venting on the sides are also a misnomer.  Most Merrell's displaying the side venting with the mesh material keep your feet much much cooler than these do.  In fact, my feet sweat like a banchie.  All in all, though, still the best in the market in their class.  For my application of looking nice in any outfit and still able to walk out the backdoor straight up a mountain, you cant beat them.  The worst Merrell's will still always be better than the best that any other company will offer.  Not to mention the price.  I promise you that for the cost of these shoes, in this class, you will not find a better shoe.
