It’s time to say goodbye to a pair of excellent companions. These Merrell shoes have been with me for around ten years and it’s time to let them go. These are the second pair of Merrells I have loved. They have been everywhere with me. The waterproofing hasn’t worked for many years, they are “air conditioned” and finally I think I have to admit that they no longer are cushioned at the heels. I spent a long time walking around in them at the weekend and my heels noticed every bump in the ground. It is a shame and emotionally hard to send these off to the great dump in the land but they need to go.
I’m slightly annoyed as the newer version of these shoes are shaped slightly different and fit slightly different and I am not sure I like the change. I’m going to have to wear them around the house to get used to them. Eventually I will put the magnet things on them.
