I've been wearing Merrill (still do) but everything I liked in the Merrill's was out of stock and as it is I order most of my shoes. I finally asked and was shown this pair. I wanted a pair of black shoes, I wasn't to crazy about the 2 1/2" heel but now I can use them for a little dressier shoe and still have the comfort too.
I love the shoe and I have found a great new brand to shop for.
