i have been searching for a practical, tough outdoor shoe that isn't ugly. these are it. i bought them last week and they felt like old friends the moment i put them on. i have pounded around wet fields, muddy festival grounds, slippery creek beds, (and worn them to my office) and they still look and feel great. well made, great traction, comfortable, and cute. what more could you want? i'm actually tempted to buy another pair in case they discontinue them - i'm not sure i can live without them now that i've found them.

I have plantar fascia. My podiatrist recommended this brand of shoes. One of our local stores sells them so I thought I'd try them out before spending the money. Needless to say, I walked out of the store with them on. They are awesome. I highly recommend this shoe. I have it in the tan color. They are great with capris.

These shoes are great from the moment you put your feet in them.
I have plantar fascia and in the last 11 months I have bought countless
number of shoes and inserts.
Today my friend tried my shoes on and she is getting one also. You will be happy for buying them.

I tried these shoes on in a Nordstrom on a whim. It took me less than a minute to decide to buy them. The support in these shoes is wonderful. A podiatrist once showed me that most "soft-soled" shoes don't give enough support because they easily bend in half right at the ball of your foot. Then, when you're putting weight on the ball of your foot, your foot is constrained but unsupported by the shoe. The Merrells bend a bit but won't fold in half like Aerosoles or others. The difference is astounding. I can walk and walk in these shoes without my feet feeling achy. There is also plenty of room in the toebox, even though Merrells have a reputation for running narrow. My feet are definitely not narrow, and these fit perfectly (as do my Merrell hiking boots.) These shoes slip off and on easily, which is perfect for a rainy climate like mine. And they have those cute little blue flowers. These Merrells are definitely one of the best shoe purchases I've ever made. I couldn't be more satisfied.

The shoes are cute, but the strap digs into the foot. It's better after some wear as long as I wear socks.

I work 25-30 hours a week and I'm constantly on my feet. I've had leg, ankle, and knee injuries in the past, so I wanted a shoe that had good support and wouldn't wear my feet out too much. I took a risk and bought these Merrell's, and I'm so happy I did.

Even after an eight hour shift, my feet don't feel tired. They're very light and airy, which is especially great since I live in Houston. I definitely recommend this item to anyone who needs a comfortable work shoe.

The only funny thing about this shoe is the sizes run pretty big. I'm a size 7, but I bought a size 6 and they fit well.
