I purchased these shoes sight unseen and without trying them on, a risk knowing how my feet are sometimes quirky about sizing. I have quite a few other Merrell shoes in different styles and their sizing has been consistent, so I took a chance.
I love these shoes! They fit perfectly and I could feel that I chose the right size even before they were laced up. I have an older version of this shoe in rust and tan that don't fit this well.
I will be doing light trail running and am looking forward to testing them out. They are snug across the arch and give good support for me. Low in the back and they are not rubbing at all on my ankle like some shoes can do.
I highly recommend these to anyone.
