Missed the athletic shoe part... If you want cross trainers Merrell may not be the brand. If you want running or outdoor trail athletic I would vote for Merrell.
I am pretty big fan of Merrell. The boots I have bought were made in Italy... at least that is what the label says...
If you are leaning towards strictly trail athletic I would vote for Danner above Merrill
My favorite shoes/boots are Danner. They get a little pricey but they are super comfortable and just about every part of the show can be rebuilt. I have been using one pair for almost a dozen years in every season. The leather looks a little rough from road salt but functionally I don't notice any difference from when I first bought them.
i mostly want them for walking in concrete surfaces. i know Merrel i will try and find if any of my local stores have them. I am also reading about vegan shoes made in EU but those i will have to order through internet. thanks for the suggestions!
