Merrell Men's Encore Gust 2 Slip On Espresso - J002093

I just received my brand new Jungle Moc Leather WATERPROOF shoes yesterday and this morning I wore them when I was walking around my land thoroughly watering my property, and not caring now if and when some of my hose water gets on my pant cuffs and shoes. Then my new shoes and I took my 85 year old former US Marine body for a walk around the neighborhood whistling Gene Kelly's ole melody "Singing-in-the-Rain".

My husband is 81 and needed a new pair of indoor shoes (We do not wear outdoor shoes in our house.). Given his age and energy level (He has lymphoma.), I thought these shoes. Might be a good alternative to the old style indoor shoe he has worn for years. They are easy to put on (no shoe horn needed) and the back of the shoe does not permit his foot from sliding backward as his regular indoor shoes, which is more safe. The soles also provide a firm grip to our hardwood floors. He likes these so well, I purchased a second pair for him to wear outside. BTW: I have worn this style of Merrill's for years. I don't know why I never considered recommending this Merrill style for him.
