    Excellent, boardroom-appropriate dress shoe. Rubber sole permits durable outdoor walking but is in a subtle tread (barely treaded at all) so that it has the full appearance of a dress shoe. Took a bit longer than usual to break in, but once there, shoe is durable and comfortable. Narrow feet will benefit from a tongue or heel pad, as this shoe has a bit larger than average internal volume. The only drawback is the gel-insert footbed, which is bizarrely squishy; I swiftly discarded it for an insole taken from another pair of dress shoes.

    They broke in quickly and are very comfortable. I wear them almost every day and am very happy with this purchase. I've worn this brand in a similar style for years now and would be hard-pressed to choose anything else.

    The shoes are great as expected. The surprise was Zappos customer service. There was a problem with the first pair shipped to me. I called customer service and before we even hung up the phone - they had shipped out the replacement (and with next day shipping). Keep up the great work Zappos - Ill be a return customer for a long time to come.

    The A+ runs a half-size large, but otherwise, it is a terrific shoe all around. A nice formal shoe for wearing with suits (leather is shiny, heel looks formal) but comfortable enough for long walks to the train, or even casual use. Nice toe box; will not pinch you. Breaks in quickly without looking broken in.

    This is my second pair of the Merge; I wore the others out before I finally retired them. Great shoe, comfortable and sharp looking. I normally wear 12 1/2, but 12 fit perfectly.

    Bought this model 5 years ago and wore them (in the office only) nearly every day since -- I jog there. They've held up beautifully and I'm about to get a new pair. Surely got my money's worth on the first ones.

    As a professional pilot, I was in need of a multi-use dress shoe. (For the cockpit and walking on wet tarmacs) This is the second pair of Kenneth Cole Merge shoes I have purchased. They are durable and long lasting. It seems they come a half size large, so consider ordering a half size smaller than you are used to. I highly recommend these shoes!

    I bought these shoes for my son. From the moment he tried them on they were very comfortable, no breaking in. They are a good looking shoe, he likes wearing them with a nice pair of jeans or dress slacks. Either way, they made a hit, he loves them. The best part for me was dealing with Zappos. Thanks once again for the great service!

    This is a good quality (not GREAT quality - good quality) dress shoe. I have owned a few pairs of KC shoes similar to this one. I buy them because the rubber soles are comfortable, and I like the look of well-shined black leather shoes. They\\\'re versatile enough for office or even jeans. The style is a little chunky, too which I like - as compared to thin-soled narrow european style shoes. The heel is substantial, but the leather banding on the heel will fail, as it has with other KC shoes after about a year of hard wear. The fit is true to size, though this model is a little long in the toe. Good comfortable shoe.

    The merge are extremely comfortable right out the box. You get what you pay for I have a couple pairs of the Kenneth Cole reaction shoes. The merge are more comfortable and are better quality inside and out.

    After wearing this shoe for 1.5 years, I just bought my 2nd pair. Very comfortable right out of the box. Looks great with either jeans or a suit. This is a wide, flat shoe that is very stylish. Regardless of where shoe styles are supposedly trending (and I've got some of the new, long-toe styles) I love the look of the Merge, and wear it more than any other shoe. Kenneth Cole has been my favorite shoe for years, and the silver technology is excellent for comfort.
