If you're looking for shoes to lounge around in the house, these Merrell Innsbruck shoes aren't for you. That's because they're built for harsh terrain, where their primary uses are for feet protection and surface adhesion on slippery and unstable footings. While in the process of doing those, these Innsbrucks cradle your feet in a slightly stiff, yet comfortable manner. That's done by the shoes' thin insulation and supportive insoles. In fact, those insoles are the most supportive that I've ever experienced from a shoe manufacturer. Usually, support of that caliber is something I'd have to seek as an aftermarket product. And equally important is the shoes' sizing, because the fit feels custom-made. The rest of the components are made from high-quality, rugged materials. So if I could give more than a five-star review, I would.
