I was very pleased with this shoe. I agree with one reviewer that it does seem to be on the wider side, but I have wider feet, so for me it works well. The shoe is very comfortable and fit like a glove right away. It does seem to make my feet pretty warm, so I wouldn't wear this shoe in hot weather. The main thing I'm looking for in a shoe is comfort, so this works great, plus I thought this was a very nice looking shoe. Another review said that their shoes wore out quickly, but they wore them every day. It would have been helpful to know how long they wore them, as most shoes wear out. My shoe size is between 7 1/2 & 8 and these are a little large at size 8 for me, but I would rather have them a bit larger than smaller.I think if I was a true 8, they would fit just right. Overall I recommend them. I've tried on many shoes and overall I usually end up sticking with Merrell's & Keen's. I like shoes with a wider toe box, so I usually go with Keen's. but with the new comfort of the Chameleon's and getting a slightly larger size, these work great for me. I also like the Vibram soles which make the shoe really comfortable and it seems to form to my heal nicely and make my foot feel secure and it doesn't slide around in the shoe.Merrell Women's Chameleon 7 Slate 8 M US
