    I have the hiking boots by Merrill, they work for me I have problems with my shins.
    $120, lots of buck but worth it.

    Merrill is a great brand. My husband wears them and loves them, and my granddaughter, who has a genetic bone disorder wears them, (she's 4). These are the most supportive and fitting for her and her problems.

    I have worn them for years. I wear the mules in the winter. I love them. They are true to size and very comfortable. I too have feet problems.

    I bought Merrell sandals on sale last summer, and I love them. Yes, the support is good for my high arch. maybe it would work for you, too, but you won't know until you try them on. I found them again at DSW (Designer Show Wearhouse) for $60 and bought 2 more pair in tan and black. The salesperson told me they sell the same style every year! Lucky me!

My inside Dansko shoes lasted a good five years before I had to replace them. Same thing with my Birkenstock outdoor sandals.
    Hi there! I am on my poor ole arthritic feet for a long day at work and I wear Danskos-very comfortable. I also had a pair of Merrill's winter shoes and they were very durable and comfortable.

    Hubby and I both wear Merrels. We buy ours in a boot shop in Charm, Ohio. I have learned that it doesn't pay to wear the cheap shoes. My feet complain and they don't last as long either. I don't buy expensive but I do buy good shoes.
