I have been a devotee of To Boot New York for years. This was the very first time that I was truly disappointed with a product from them. I tried these same shoes on in another store and the quality of the leather and overall finish was vastly, noticeably superior. One thing that I'm learning about this company is that they have a problem with consistency in their finish quality, and not just because they are hand made. However, when charging this much per pair, inconsistency to this degree is unacceptable. These simply did not look like the expensive shoes that I tried on in the store.

I like the style of the shoe a lot and have been happy with To Boot shoes in the past. However, I was very disappointed that after just a few wears, the leather at the toe of the shoe got nicked up and torn. Unfortunately, they just don't look as good anymore even though they are basically brand new. Not sure if it was just a one off case, but I think the leather should be more durable than that given the price.

Decent shoe. Looks great and I've walked for miles in them without any pain. I've had them for over a year now and they still hold up.

I really like the look of these shoes (re: not boots) and was happy with Zappos' customer service. That being said, the rubber soles began peeling away from the footbed of the shoes (both!) after wearing them on only a few occasions. I like Merrells but was frankly disappointed.

These are very comfortable and stylish. They fit well and wear nicely. The only complaint I have is that the soles are slick on some surfaces and will leave marks if dragged on the floor. Overall a good shoe.

Purchased the Merrell Regner in black, for a dressier shoe that is also casual. Really looks sharp with a dark pair of jeans and nice shirt. Based on other reviews I ordered a half size down and still have room. Comfortable shoe for level walking but performs poorly on terrain.

This shoe looks really nice. I have been a long time fan of Merrell shoes and when I came across these, I had to have them. I have always worn a size 10.5 in Merrell shoes so that is what I ordered, but when I tried them on, they were to big! I returned them for a size 10 and they fit well in length but the top of the shoe was a little tight. They are breaking in now and if I don't tie them to tight they feel best.

Love them I use them to work and I'm on my feet all day long. At the end of the say my feet don't hurt!

Shoe is very comfortable and looks great. It took about a week to break in. I use it as a daily office shoe. What concerns me is the sole of the shoe wears out quite fast. The nubs at the ball of the shoe are half warn after only a month. Also the shoe slips rather easily on wet indoor type surfaces.

I like the looks of this shoe but unfortunately I find it not comfortable at all. Aside from a thin removable inner sole, there is absolutely no padding or cushioning in the footbed. If you wear orthotics like I do, once you take out the inner sole to accommodate the orthotic, it is like walking on concrete. I need something with cushioning in the footbed, so I will be returning these.
