Awesome "casual shoe". It is a very nice casual shoe, very comfortable and a nice looking shoe. Have worn with shorts, hiking (on accident), and slacks and a button up shirt. As stated, perfect for casual wear, walking, hiking, whatever. While on a hiking trip in Colorado had to pull off the road to let cars pass and take a bathroom break. The closest pull-off happened to have a lake and several hiking trails, so ended up climbing almost to the very top of a mountain in these shoes. We definitely blazed our own trail, climbing through feet of snow at times, or gravel/rock walls at other times. Shoes do not say they are waterproof, but my feet never got cold or wet even walking thru deep snow for long periods of time. Served perfectly for the entire climb, blown away by their durability and traction on the trail, especially since they are marketed and I bought them as a casual shoe.

Thank you for sharing your great experience with the Olmec. That is great these were able to hold up on a trail when you needed them to. You never want to miss out on an adventure and seeing the sights out there.

I had a bad case of plantar fasciitis for years. Since wearing these shoes, no return of my symptoms. I bought one pair to wear in the OR and another for office hours. Great shoes.

I work in retail and have been a fan of Merrell for some time now. I am on my feet for 8 to 10 hours a day. I wanted a slip on that was comfortable and I am a big guy too size 14. I picked the chocolate by accident but really like the color I am going to buy the other color too. The oder control is nice feature. The only thing that sucked was I ordered mine on Amazon and it took forever to get, next time I will buy direct. Merrell you definetely have a customer for life I am sold on your entire product line. I love the quality and will pay for the premium.
