User Review: Merrell Overdrive

Merrell Overdrive
Above: The current Overdrive, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 1 of 5 stars
Price Paid: Too much!!!

Great shoe straight out of the box like all similar reviewers. However like a few other users have reported it went rapidly down hill from there.

Get rid of the speed laces straight away and put in the traditional laces. The sole starts to break up very quickly. The heel lugs fall off first and then other bits and pieces on the sole break off too easily. After this the mesh side begins to break up and gets holes.

For a very expensive shoe this is not good enough!
