Several years ago, I purchased a pair of these sandals from a local outlet store.
I wore them until they were so beat up that I was embarrassed!  However, they still
felt just fine and were OK for quick errands or yard work.  That pair was light tan.
I then replaced the original pair with brown ones from a local department store.....same
shoes, same great fit and wear-ability.
The current pair ~ the ones I just purchased through Amazon ~ are a beautiful dusty blue
(the box says Navy) and I am looking forward to wearing them as much as the other two
pairs.  I hope Merrell continues to make this style, since they are just great for me
and great for our dry, outdoor-living New Mexico climate!  I will wear both the brown
and blue ones all year 'round, since sandals are the best footwear here.
I am very satisfied with this purchase.  I am also happy that I saved around $12 by purchasing
the third pair through Amazon.
