These shoes fit perfectly, and are very comfortable. Right out of the box I can wear them all day long. On my 4th day of wearing them, and even the soles look pristine, without any discernible wear (including some cement and asphalt). The top stitching makes this far more attractive and casual business than the Merrells I've replaced with these (comfortable but ugly).<br /><br />The shoes arrived on schedule with excellent packaging. I like these so much I'll be picking up another pair in this style shortly.
