I was looking for some new shoes recently, and after trying on 15 or 20 pairs, I was prepared to settle for the least worst.  For some reason, shoes are always either too big, too small, fit weird, or feel like I'm wearing wooden clogs filled with stones.  But then I tried on some Merrells, and like every time I try on Merrells, I was completely and utterly impressed.  I don't know what the deal is, but even when they're the wrong size, Merrells feel like the perfect shoe.  It feels like these shoes were specifically made for me.  It's like the universe stands still, and Mr. Merrell says, "Here Dave.  I designed and manufactured these shoes specifically for your feet.  Eat, drink, and be merry.  And wear my shoes, bro."  I'm not sure why these shoes are different, but I don't understand why the likes of Nike, Reebok, and Adidas don't make shoes that feel this great. #lifestyle
