Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I should have read the reviews before I purchased these! I've worn this style for several years and love them - they offer good support and are very comfortable. However, after ordering a new pair recently I am very disappointed in the quality of these shoes now. I don't know what Merrell has done with them to change the quality but they are not the same shoes I've worn for so long. Both shoes felt flimsy and tight, and the right one felt off kilter, like it was cut incorrectly. Merrell, when you have a winner, stick with it!! Or, is it possible the shoes they're making available for online sales are a different, poorer quality?? I'm testing that theory by going to my local shoe stores and trying some on.
