I bought these size 10.5 for my husband's Christmas gift. We live in New Zealand, so there's high risk for getting the right fit and satisfaction, since he couldn't try them on, or try on a similar pair in this far away country.  But I trusted Merrell to be the shoe brand for consistent quality that I've known for the past 20 years.  My husband will happily wear these for many years of comfort and great performance 'everyday' shoes.
