Wow! These are exactly what I had hoped for and more. As a long-time Merrell Mountain Moc wearer, the Mitchell combines the best of that design and improves it significantly. Lighter, better fit, better tread, better looks. A very practical and functional shoe, but with distinctive style, that can still be worn for business casual. It has the general design of the Moc and combined the last shape of the Merrell Encore Groove (a curved shape) and ended up with perfection for my feet. Time will tell if they live up to the awesome durability of the Merrells. I'm hoping so!

These are great looking boots for an even better looking price, but the pair I received had a massive lump inside the sole of the left boot directly under the ball of my foot. It's as if the arch support that wasn't in the arches had been moved to underneath the ball of my foot behind the 4th toe, and only on one side. I assume this was a factory defect and every pair doesn't have some random anomaly such as this, but it has scared me away from this brand for good. Sometimes a good deal really is too good to be true. You get what you pay for.
