I saw these shoes at Sheels and bought them on sale. They didn't fit my boyfriend, and of course I check on amazon - they had variety of colors and sizes plus it was $1-3 cheaper on Amazon plus prime shipping!! I think they are great shoes. My boyfriend is a carpenter in winter and in Iowa - snow, cold, more snow but he says he's feet get cold! ( I think its because he doesn't understand why I paid so much for a shoe) But really for Merrill's I thought it was a great deal!!!
