Merrell Women's Alpine Chelsea Boot, Black, 8

Great casual shoe with excellent support and great for work, errands and when you're on the go

I picked these up a few weeks ago as I was looking for something supportive but also professional looking. I LOVE them. The sole is incredibly sturdy and supportive - I have plantar fasciitis and these are the only shoes I have where my feet don't hurt by days end. They also have ample width for my wide feet. 8 took one star off because I get rubbing and irritation at the back, where the stretchy elastic section of the collar meets the firm structured part. There is an exposed seam there that causes blistering. I've worked around it with a piece of moleskin, so it's a minor annoyance on an otherwise lovely shoe.
