Customer Reviews Merrell Freewheel Mesh Chukka

Extremely comfortable - very casual boot style shoe that goes great with jeans or shorts. Can be used as athletic look or casual dress attire.

My big problem with these shoes is that they don't breathe! They are called "mesh" but it is mostly a "mesh design." I tried blowing through the material and it is completely airtight. I made the mistake of taking them on a trip which required keeping my shoes on for several hours and they drove me nuts. Big "sneakaroma." I can't return them because I threw the packaging away. Thinking of putting in two breathing holes like they have in some sneakers in hopes of improving ventilation, but that will make them pretty ugly. Otherwise they are comfortable and presentable. I should have paid more attention to the reviews.
