Received the Merrell Mimosa lace shoes in black, and after trying them on, I put the shoes away until Fall.  I ordered them now because my favorite brand, in a popular style, and my size sells out quickly.  My bony, arthritic feet with "over pronation" appreciate Merrell shoes and I have given up trying other brands as none fits, comforts, and lasts as Merrells .
UPDATE 4/13: Have worn them all fall and winter  for errands, volunteering, etc.  While these shoes, as most Merrell sport shoes, are comfortable immediately, they are NOT hiking shoes. As info to others who want these in black...the color is black, charcoal and a faint blue trim; these will look great with jeans, black twills, etc.
