Merrell Storm Gtx Sneakers

I was looking for a good-looking waterproof sneaker and this meets what I expected. I wore these out during a full day of showers and they did not disappoint. Some additional notes: (1) While they are the same size as my other Merrells, they are slightly looser - I would still get the same size as my other shoes, since even a half size smaller would be too tight; if you plan on running in these, then maybe a half size smaller might be the move. (2) These are stiff at first and take more breaking in than a normal sneaker. (3) Traction is good, but not to the level of a hiking shoe (for example, for use in mud).
