This pair of brown and burgundy Merrell Encore Grove size 8 clogs/mules have a suede and wool upper that is both comfortable and breathable. The soles have the Merrell Air Cushion feature to provide all day on your feet comfort as well as an Ortho Life insole. There appears to be next to none wear as the soles are like new. There is a bit of flaking of the inside of the shoe tongue but is not seen or does not impair the looks or function of the shoe. Super comfortable yet supportive!!
