These shoes (mine are size 10.5) are constructed of leather uppers and rubber soles.  I own two pairs of Merrell's and I prefer them over my Birkenstocks for comfort.  The quality of the leather is very good and  I like the non-skid soles.  There is firm arch support which feel comfortable when I am standing or walking for prolonged periods.  Having recurrent plantar fasciitis, I have had comfort from the pain from wearing these shoes.

These are one of my favorite shoes.
