I live in Merrell shoes, especially the sandals.  Every pair I've had has been perfect for my feet.  I was excited to get these to replace my worn out Hollyleaf which was almost the same.  ALMOST.  For some reason, these give me achy toes.  Not from the big toe &#34;ring&#34;, but all toes.  So painful that it was difficult to sleep.  Not sure if they will break in or not.  I will keep trying for short periods of time (so far my toes ache every time). For now I have to give just the one star and will look to buy the Hollyleaf somewhere!
