Merrell Men's Chukka Boots - Waterproof Hiking Shoes for Outdoor Adventures, Trail Walking & Casual Wear

These shoes are very nice. No toe scrunching with good arch support & very light. I wear them to the office, we're not totally formal. I am not using Dr. Scholl's in them, but maybe later or not.purchased my size. at first it felt great 2-3 weeks later they stretch ? . so now i had to put a insole and thick socks for them to fit and the shoes still they stretched . a wasteI spent hours on Amazon searching for shoes that that look stylish and are comfortable and these are the only ones I found! They're great. The boot toe looks good and is fine for going out to a nice place and they're also good enough for a hike. I like the little lighter grey touch on the top. The only improvements I can think of are:1) If the shoe can be even a bit softer inside like a running shoe, they would be a dream2) If there's any way that the hiking treads weren't visible from the side then these would be great at even a super fancy restaurant. Maybe more like a platform look on the side like an Oxford style dress shoe (but keep the treads on the bottom!). So just purely an aesthetic thing.3) Work on your Amazon search SEO! I suggest adding something like "stylish" and "hiking boots" to the title or description.The first thing I noticed was that they felt very slightly larger than other pairs of Merrell boots/shoes I have but not enough to be an issue. Have had them a few months and find them getting more comfortable with each wear, not that they were ever uncomfortable. I have found only Merrells to be genuinely waterproof: have tried two pairs of Timberlands and a pair of Rockports and have all leaked to varying degrees at the welts despite carefully waterproofing them. None of my three pairs of Merrells have ever leaked so I only wear the other makes when I know it's not likely to rain.yes as had several pairs of Merrell shoes did find i had to fit an extra insole as right foot was slightly to large luckily i had from a previous pair good insole in the uk size 10 they feel comfortable straight from the boxImpressed with the build quality. No excess glue or wonky stitches anywhere. Fit is true to the size. Slightly wide forefoot makes it comfortable on long walks.Brilliant mid shoe. I am on my third pair and bought some more for future use. I had acute tendonitis in my Achilles making it painful to walk. These were by far the best supportive shoe to wear. Added a pair of gel insoles and i was more comfortable walking again.Great shoes, can wear anytime , not too bulky
