Great shoe, not too late to learn to tie laces
I was hesitant to purchase these based on previous reviews but went for it anyway. Some stated the size was not consistent with other Merrell products. I wear an 11.5, rotate through 4 other Merrell products and found the sizing to be inline with the others. Previous reviews also sited concerns with the laces. Though I have been wearing and tying my shoes for most of my life, I have only be using the "Ian's Secure Shoelace" method for about 10 years. This method has proven to be fool proof on the included laces of these Silvo's with not a single unexpected "de-lace" within a month of use. I find the soles to be very comfortable offering lots of cushion from inconsistent ground obstructions. If I had any critique I would prefer the sole color to be a bit darker in color as an option.
