Due to the many positive reviews I want to get rid of my side a critique. I used a similar shoe from Salomon. But always the problem that I could walk through sandy terrain never, since the sand penetrated by the sole in the shoe. The Merell Waterpro does not have this handicap. He is also very comfortable to wear. Especially on warmer days. I do not like sandals! That's why the advanced Waterpro here quickly to my favorite shoe. It does not smell, looks good and is hardly noticeable. Unfortunately, chafed at the tensioning belt at the bottom of the band after some time through. So strap and belt! Here Merell should perhaps reinforce the material a bit! The advertised fast drying now the term is relatively fast. So while running shoe was even after a few hours still wet. And the non-slip soles, I can not even confirm conditionally! On wet stones should not be relied upon!
