I broke my big toe and had to resort to slip ons. These were the ones. I bought 1/2 size longer so the arch fit in the proper location. and now own every single pair of these made. Working at a large "low price always store" averaging 7 to 13 miles a day on tile floor, I found these to have great support and comfort all day. I have litterally worn out the sole and heels after 2 1/2 years of rotation wear every day. I have them in both the nubuck, water proof, gortex, The "last" which is the pattern of the bottom of the sole is shaped exactly correct for the shape of the bottom of my foot, which makes them a perfect fit every time. The toe box is deep enough and wide enough not to crowd my little toe or bite the big toe when flexed. They have great ankle support for climbing ladders, navigating slippery floors, and ice and snow conditions. I have stood in water up to the gussetts and stayed absolutely dry. I just took delivery of my 12th pair today. I highly recommend this shoe to any one looking for long term comfort in a slip on "no strings attached."
The Gortex lined are naturally a little warmer for winter.
How do you most use this product?: Every day with rotation of color and style.

This is my first pair of shoes by Merrell. I feel sorry for the rest of the shoes in my closet. This is by far the most comfortable and sturdy shoe I have found. The style is perfect as well for my life style. It is a simple and strong shoe. I love them.I will be a regular Merrell man from now on.

Nubucks are a perfect fit !By

I have been buying jungle mocs for about 5 years now... really love them, but this last time, January 09, I purchased a pair of size 13 medium Nubucks and the fit was perfect.. the Nubuck is a stiffer leather than the jungle moc and gives more support from the arch to the heel cup. The shoe hugs my foot without feeling heavy or restricting anywhere. The shoe is a tad heavier but the support is a positive tradeoff... Now just need some additional colors in the Nubuck, like a denim color to match my jeans...
