Yay, a smile was indeed what I was going for! :)

A lot of the Merrell are designed more for trails, but I adore the minimal line. They have worked well for me for so many years now. I do have a pair of really comfortable sandals of theirs, as well, that are awesome for tubing or other water-related activities where a solid shoe is important! I haven't tried any of their boots yet, but I think they get good reviews, as well!
