My wife bought me a pair of these Merrell black/Gecko shoes for my birthday  I happened to try on a pair of shoes just to kill time while she was shopping and although I liked them a lot i did not need shoes and could not justify getting a pair at $120 with tax at the store. She found them at Amazon for $72. These shoes make me more aware of how my feet meet the earth as I walk, hike, work, play, or just wear around the house. I found another pair here for $44 and snatched them up.  They are incredibly light, pretty durable, easy to clean, fit the size they say they are. I love them so much I would like to give them 5 stars although where the grey rubber meets the black rubber around the toes seems to wear quickly. So far not effecting the shoe other than making the shoe look older than it is. I am thinking of trying some of the other styles designed like this model.
