text: These sandals are not historic Merrells quality. They do not provide support and I feel as though I paid a premium price for a loser. They are not fit for walking. They are very soft - as a matter o fact too soft. If you are looking for a sandal to carry you on a walk in a village or a hike, these are not the ones. Further the color nomenclature did not match the actual color and they are a tad bit bulky looking. Not what I expected by the description and photo.
