These classy kicks from Merrell add cork footbeds to the company's typical EVA foam outsoles, giving them an elevated look similar to a pair of Birkenstock sandals. The men's style is called the Fluer Fishermen and comes in men's sizes 5-11, while the Fluer in available only in women's sizes 5-11.
Promising review: “I was going to return these and get Birkenstocks instead, but these turned out to be way better! The cork insoles keeps your feet cool and the cork prevents sweaty soles during hot weather. The only thing that I would suggest they add a bit of a wedge. I find that my heels sinks in when I step, so a bit of an incline where the heels are would help tremendously. I would love also love these in a taupe-ish color and maybe a boho style.” — Lisa M.
