text: These are very comfortable and lightweight.  I plan to take them on a trip where I will be doing alot of walking.  They are super light so will not add weight to my luggage and they should look cute with any casual outfit.  I normally wear an 11 in just about any shoe.  I have a couple of other Merrells and they seemed a tick too long so I took a chance and ordered the 10.5.  Usually I don't find that option, it's either a 10 or 11; but I am glad I did because it fits great.  I have only worn it without socks and will probably never add socks because I consider this a light summer shoe.  Seems to have plenty of support for me and the band across the top has not pinched or been binging on my foot.  Really happy with this purchase.
