A lot's been written about these so I'll keep it brief.  They are comfortable and I like the styling.  Only one real complaint: the inner velour-like fabric creates a lot of friction against cotton socks and tends to pull them down and cause them to bunch up.  Older Merrell shoes I've owned had a smarter nylon mesh pattern inside that didn't do this.  This velour is already starting to pill up after just a few wearings and I can easily see it wearing away after a short time.  These ran a little small for me and I had to order a size 12 instead of my usual 11-1/2.
