Merrell Huron (Men’s) in Green Tea

Merrell Siren Tansy (Women’s) in Sweet Pea

We just returned from our trip to the Dominican Republic and I have so many things to talk about!  First, I’ll start with what kept mom and dad’s feet happy on our 6 day international adventure.

We were each sent a pair of Merrell shoes from the Summer 2010 collection (pictured above) to give a test run (or stride, in our case).

We did a lot of walking through the airport and then around the Iberostar Bavaro resort property in Punta Cana and can testify to the durability of the above pictured sandals.  We didn’t have much of a doubt that Merrell shoes would provide support and comfort but finding out first-hand was the icing on the cake.

The sandals kept us safe on the wet, stamped cement walkways of the resort.  I was able to remove the heel strap from my Siren Tansy’s and wear them in more of a “flip-flop” fashion.

What is attractive about these sandals?  Several things, actually.  Mine have an antimicrobial solution added to the footbed (non-slip, anti-odor), Q-Form® (women’s stride alignment technology), Vibram® Siren sole (stability and traction) and they’re girly, to boot.

The men’s Huron have cement construction for durability, a microfiber footbed, Merrell® air cushion in the heel and, they look pretty darn good on him.  They were perfect for our al a carte dinners at the resort where the men had to wear pants and a more “dressy” sandal.

Both of these sandals are lightweight and c-o-m-f-o-r-t-a-b-l-e.  It’s a no-brainer that we’ll be wearing these around the Walt Disney World parks this coming week and at the cabin on the lake later in the summer.

You can purchase Merrell shoes online or find a Merrell retailer near you.

PS: If you purchase from Merrell online, shipping is FREE all summer.
