I love and use Merrell shoes. They're a comfortable brand, but I got them quite dirty while foraging for wild vegetables. The good thing about the Jungle Moc is the sense of security it provides, protecting your whole foot. If you're just going out for a quick errand, you can still use them. I think you should try them out for everyday wear first. Please do. The toe of the right shoe is coming apart, but I'll list them as they are. Size: 23.5 (US 6.5) Color: Taupe Please consider using them.
