text: This is my fourth pair of Merrell sandals. Quality has evaporated over the years. Sole is too thin and I want to clean them all the time because they show dirt easily. I wear them but always mourn for my first pair of Merrll's from 2009. Looking for a new  brand. Wearing them comfortably is a loaded question. As long as I stick to the sidewalk and flat surfaces, sure, this sandal works but over rougher terrain the sole provides no protection. They used to.
