I am a long time Merrell fan, so I was so excited to see that they had made this cool sandle.  When I put them on for the first time I could not believe how comfortable they are right out of the box.  I have a high instep and I had a little trouble slipping into the footbed because of the way the part around the ankle is made, but they have since loosened up so I can put them on with ease.  Can't wait to wear them to the event I'm going to ....
