"This sandal is super comfortable, right out of the box. The reason I gave it a four is that I wish Merrells had 1/2 sizes--I'm a 7 1/2 and had to buy a 7, it fits all right for the most part, a little small, but still comfortable. A 7 1/2 would have been better, the 8 was slightly too big and the ball of my foot didn't hit right. Why do companies choose to neglect their 1/2 size customers???"
