text: Sorry Merrell. I hate these sandals! They look great, felt fine trying them on but after wearing them shopping for several hours, my feet are killing me. I have an older pair of Merrell sandals that lasted 5 years. The old ones had a leather foot pad, these are synthetic. Also the older pair have a vibram sole. I could wear them all day several months of the year.  My feet still hurt the day after and so do my legs. I wish I could get my money back!
