text: This shoe did not come near the quality or fit of the earlier models (See 2008 reviews). This version has a hard uncomfortable footbed, arrived with substituted maroon inserts that did not belong or fit (Merrell puts black inserts in their back shoes), and was almost 1 inch shorter than my other size 7 Encore MJs.  Arch was in wrong place and overall shoe was significantly smaller. Could be a mismarked size or a second. Sent back to seller.
