"I purchased this shoe as a neutral color go with everything traveling shoe. This show was just that. It's light on the feet. soft and easy for walking tours around the cities of Ireland. I gave it 4 stars, because the insole which provides the arch to its proper place on the foot, tends to disconnect and gather under the middle of the foot. Several times I had to remove the shoe and stretch the insole several times getting glue on my nails. (very annoying) I was away from home with only a heeled shoe and an off color clog packed in my luggage. No recourse but to wear it almost daily. I've pulled out the insole and replaced it with an Orthaheel insole that I ordered online, it works but its made the shoe quite more expensive. I've worn the sneaker for two weeks, rendering it non returnable, not sure if this would be considered damaged. Will have to call DSW and ask. I purchased another sneaker by Bzees, will have to determine if I keep it based on the answers I receive."
"I ordered these shoes because of an upcoming tour through Europe. I knew I would be walking a lot and needed a feminine but causal light weight sneaker, not clunky. This shoe fit the bill. I'll be packing interchangeable clothing in reds black navy and white so this shoe in red would be neutral and perfect. Merrell has a reputation for longevity and comfort. Unfortunately I have a screw in my toe and cannot be too flat, adding an ortho insole would not justify this expense for me so I exchange for another slip on because with a built in arch. If you don't have feet issues this is a beautiful casual shoe. The red and grey combo is lovely. Really wish I could."
