As always with MERREL, these shoes are fine, but you really have to pay attention to size. Custom land of MERRELL shoes, I do a good size 41 and I used to take in MERRELL of 42. I had read too small problem, but I did not think that this also referred to the shoes MERRELL . I confirm: if you are used to MERRELL, must take an extra size for this model INTERCEPT GORETEX otherwise it will be too small. (Eg for a good 41 or 42, choose the 43)
