"I slipped one of these on in the store and was amazed at how comfortable they were! The leather is soft, the sole has great support and comfort and they don't have the sueded/spongy insole that makes my feet sweat. I bought them for our HS Disney band trip and wore them all day around the park with no breaking in period. Just fabulously comfortable shoes. I will definitely check out Merrell sandals first from now on."
