I've had a pair of Merrell sandals similar to this style for years, and recently replaced them with this Hollyleaf style, not because the others had worn out but because they had just gotten too dirty from me wearing them absolutely everywhere. These sandals are even more comfortable, and wear nicely too. They have great cushioning so you can walk around all day without your feet hurting. These are great quality shoes and very comfortable. Definitely worth the money!
