text: These are my favorite shoes.  I had the originals that have finally fallen apart.  I'm not a runner but where them working out and they fit snug but are not tight.  My feet are wider than the average persons.<br /><br />The two reasons this got 4 stars was the sizing seems way off.  I wear an 9-10 normally and for these I had to order an 8.  There are also a few places that rub my foot when I don't wear socks and I didn't have that problem in the original pair.  I need socks to wear these comfortably all day.<br /><br />Merrell adjusted the toe cap and some rubber on the side of the shoe which should help with some issues on the original shoe.<br /><br />Overall, these are great and I will keep buying them until they stop making them.
