wolverine has the Merrell brand in its line and I have to say, I love Merrell shoes. I'm on my second pair of gore-tex Moabs because they're incredibly comfortable, light and durable. The design is well thought out with durable high quality laces. I wear them year round and in any weather, except deep snow. I also really appreciate that they have a wide option, which is not available from some other brands. My shoe collection will never be complete without a pair of Merrells.
