I really wanted to love these since I adore the Merrell Coldpack Thermo Mocs and wanted something comparable to wear to my barista job in the warmer months. Unfortunately, the soles of the Jungle Moc are completely different. They are so rounded and leave you with too narrow of a platform on top of being tall. My partner also tried them on when they arrived in the mail and did not like how unstable they felt. I was determined to like them though. I immediately found that I would teeter over a little whenever I'd reach for things at work. After wearing them at work for about a month, I started having pain in both of my ankles. I saw my podiatrist and he attributed at least some of my pain to the instability of these shoes. They might be fine for walking, but they are not suitable for standing or walking in little circles behind the bar. I've since purchased another pair of the Merrell Moab 3s to wear to work, but I'm really bummed that Merrell's summery slip-on does not work for me. Also, the pink salt color gets dirty SO FAST. I knew that it wasn't an ideal color for my job, but I did not expect them to look so yucky in less than 2 months. I think I walked in grass in them once or twice and they already have grass stains.
