Kahuna III

I live in boots, bur since the heat wave hit that's been pretty uncomfortable so thought Id give these a go after much research decided on the Merrlell Kahuna 3. I found them very easy to fit straight out of the box and remember thinking the straps are a bit stiff, I needn't have worried by the time I had worn them for a day they had bedded in nicely, I haven't stopped wearing them since. So far they have been worn up and down our mountain several times, (we live on a hill farm) and have found that the strap system holds the foot very securely in place so no rubs or slippage, they have been in the sea and after being hosed down with fresh water suffered no ill effects. The sole has as much grip as my boots and protects my feet on our dirt tracks. As an ex career soldier I am very critical of outdoor door footwear and do expect a lot from what I purchase. They may be more expensive than other similar footwear but you get what you pay for with these, my only criticism is I have the most ridiculous tan lines!

Very good quality shoes, previous pair lasted 17 years with literally no issues, well made and comfortable.

Unfortunately had to change for a larger size but very happy with service and extremely happy with sandals.

This is at least the sixth pair I've bought over many years. I usually buy two pairs at a time, in case Merrell decides to discontinue them! Let's hope not. Bought a black pair this year as well - for "smart" wear!

Am still wearing old pair until they really fall apart but new purchase sitting in reserve. For years wore a handmade pair of leather sandals that rubbed and cut my skin and assumed all sandals did this. Stupid! Bought Merrell Kahuna (not sure if they're 1, 11 or III) and they've lasted for years. Took to Italy this year and wore every day for two weeks. So comfortable! Beginning to show signs of wear so replaced with same but will continue with old/current pair until bitter end. Love them!
