I bought this pair as another work related shoe however on my recent vacation I used these nonstop for five days walking around constantly over all kinds of terrain. They were so comfortable that my feet were never an issue for the amount of walking I did. My size usually for Merrell is 8, these did ran a little tighter than expected at the front for me which was new. Will always recommend buying a Merrell, a very good brand. This is my 7th.
