I like the feel of the shoes but don t seem to be able to get a pair to fit perfectly. I wear a 10.5 in other Merrel shoes, I purchased these in 10.5 and there was way too much width in the toe area so much that during agility drills/plyo my foot would actually slide in the shoe if I pivoted off in a lateral movement. This felt like a bad recipe for a rolled ankle so I took the shoes back and I went down to a 10 and they fit great widthwise, but now are a bit tight lengthwise. Not sure how running will be in these, but as I mostly train with them I guess I have to take the lengthwise tightness for the needed stability. The shoes look great and other Merrel shoes that I have purchased with vibram outsoles have been extremely durable and functioned great.
