I bought these shoes for my husband. He runs every week, always off-road. So far they have withstood the terrain (mud, rivers, waterfalls, rock, swimming through lakes...you name it) with no problem. He goes through shoes frequently and always tries a different brand. He really likes these shoes, commenting that they are especially lightweight compared to others he's tried (such as Asics). I can't say how sturdy they are, since he's only been hashing in them for a month. I hope to update this review in a couple of months to let you know.

Merrell Overdrive II - This shoe fits well. It is not waterproof as my last ones were. You can feel the air go through them, so not to wear in really cold weather.

Great shoes, great price, received real fast. Also this is a great shoe for people who need lots of arch support. This shoe took care of all my heel pain. Thanks.

Just so-so. Not very well cushioned, runs small, no control for any amount of pronation.

If it ain't broke... Bought this shoe because my original Overdrive (I) that was so comfortable had worn out. Sorry I didn't buy two of the original ones...the II version looks similar, but it is heavier, stiffer, not as well ventilated and not as comfortable. A nice shoe, but the revision didn't make it better in my opinion.
