I highly recommend this shoe. It is unbelievably comfortable and well made. If you\'re like me and travel, it is a great shoe for airports. (Easy on and off.) I have purchased Merrells in the past and I can say this, you will never wear them out! They are build to last and worth every penny.

Awesome shoe/boot; so comfy I never take them off. My feet no longer ache at the end of the day, they are so warm and comfy, the support is awesome. The only drawback is the black furry lining in them turn my bare feet and socks black. Size is true.

Fabulous! I can't say enough good things about this shoe. I have Achilles and fascia troubles with constant pain if I don't wear the right shoe. I hate to wear my shoes all day long (I work at home). I was looking for something to wear as a slipper that didn't make my foot hurt. This is perfect! I knew that the QForm sole helps me tremendously in the sneaker so I thought I'd give these a try. I got them yesterday, put them on, and felt instant relief. They are so cute I might have to get another pair to wear outside. I like the easy on/off and that I don't have to put socks on if I don't want to. These are fabulous! Oh and I wear an 8.5, bought an 8.5, and they are fantastic, perfect even.

These shoes are great! The fit is nice and they keep your feet warm without being sweaty. They are well made and worth the money. I am going to order another pair in different color, I like them so much!

Very comfy and cozy! These are almost like slippers. I have been wearing them without socks and they keep my feet toasty but not sweaty. I wish they had a little more heel on them since I am petite, but all around great shoe.

Very comfortable. I wear them all the time, when I'm not in my slippers! I usually order a 9 1/2 or 10, and 10 was the better fit in these shoes.

I love this shoe, very warm and comfortable. Bug Brown is a wonderful warm brown color that goes well with everything. Shopping with Zappos is so easy. I had to return these for a smaller size, and it was hassle free.

I love these! They are solid and well made, but not heavy clodhoppers. The inside lining molds around your foot so they are nice and warm. I bought the dark blue and they look great with my go-to jeans I wear all winter. My first pair of Merrells, but not my last.

I get a pair of these every year, love them. I normally wear a 9.5 but sent the 9.5 back for the 9. Very comfortable, warm, great for in the house or outside. And the purple suede is gorgeous! The sheepskin insole is very nice; wish it was just a tad more padded (I have terrible feet, tendinitis and a dropped metatarsal).

Love my Merrells! I bought these in black last year. They are incredibly comfortable. This year I added the brown. I normally wear a 7m; I took a 6.5 in these. I feel like I have tennis shoes on with them. Plus the lining is perfect for those Friday night football games in the late fall!

My daughter sent me an e-mail from Zappos with exactly what she wanted for her birthday. For some reason I called instead of ordering them online and I'm very happy I did! The guy on the phone was great; signed me up for VIP status which gave me overnight shipping for free. My daughter loves her shoes and I love Zappos!

These have become one of my favorite pair of shoes for this winter. They are true to size, warm, comfortable and cozy. The color is a little more brown that they look in the picture but they are great look with jeans.

Reviewer: Jane M from Pitman, NJ

Love this shoe! I bought the fir/green color and they look great with jeans. It's warm and extremely comfortable. They are true to size because of the wider toe. With the slightly lower back, they slip on and off easily, but wear like a shoe, not a clog. Once on your foot they stay there snugly. The sole is durable and flexible like a jogging shoe. I can even take a short walk with these guys. They are waterproof. I have worn these in the rain and light snow with no issues. When or if these shoes wear out, I'm getting another pair.

Finally! These just arrived and they are perfect, just what I wanted-- comfy, cozy, woolly and supportive for my sports achy feet. They are not at all tight, in fact have plenty of wiggle or sock room (contrary to similar Uggs I tried). If my feet were narrow (rather than medium) they would be too roomy. The deep blue is gorgeous and subtle.

Fit: My natural size is a 5.5W; I ordered these in 5.5 and the fit is great. They did need a break-in period. The shearling/furry lining has to be mushed down by your foot at first to get a good fit. So, for the initial try on, don't be dismayed if it feels a bit tight or if you have trouble sliding your foot in. It will conform to your foot after a break-in period. In fact, if it doesn't feel a bit tight at first, I'd say you're not going to be happy with the fit after several wearings, as they loosen up considerably with use. I can definitely tell that these aren't wide width, but they're not uncomfortable. The lining is very forgiving and cushioning, which helps with any minor fit issues.Comfort: I've worn these as slippers as well as to navigate through airports. I've worn them to work and to the mall. They are ultimately comfortable and snuggly warm. Your toes will get sweaty in these, so be aware and don't overwear them, lest they develop a "funk". Style: I love the colors that this shoe offers. It's a casual shoe, however, so it doesn't really fit with standard office wear or dressy clothes. However, it's a great casual shoe that lets you pick your favorite color for your feet.

I bought my first pair last year from a local store. Saw them again this year and new I wanted purple. Both stores that carry them only had a few colors and they were somewhat more and as much as I like to support local stores I prefer to support my pocket book more when there is that much of a difference. So I checked out Zappos and they had all the colors for less. Love the no shipping, no tax (of course) and any shopper has nothing to lose since if they need to be returned there is no cost to us. These are the most comfortable and warm shoes I have ever worn. They are designed to be worn with no socks and on the coldest days you don't need them.

I love these shoes! The fleece is the absolute best part! The other night I wore them out to a club meeting and felt like I had my fuzzy bedroom slippers on and no one was the wiser. There is nothing better for late night dog walking in any kind of weather. As the temperature drops, I'm wearing them more and more both days and nights for most activities and as slippers. The purple color is great and is a nice accent to coordinate with this season's popular (ubiquitous!) shades of purple. They run pretty true to size. There is a nice arch support, not too much. I spilled something on one and it cleaned up easily with a damp sponge. Online ordering and very prompt delivery were excellent also. I am thinking about getting this shoe in another color and would definitely order from Zappos again. I also found that Zappos has a much more extensive selection of styles and colors than any local stores in my area.

I ordered these on a Saturday and received them on Tuesday! Zappos, thank you for such speedy service. I am a 8 1/2, I also have the Merrell Siren Sports and I needed to go up a half of size in those, but these fit me great even a little room to grow! I wore them to work all day and my feet were so snuggly warm. My feet are always ice-cold in the winter so I am excited to have these. I wouldn't recommend them to people that have toasty toes already.

Wonderful slipper shoes. As comfy as a slipper, but functions great as a shoe. It's not the dead of winter and they're cozy without socks. They fit as snug as a hug, a perfect size 9. I wear them all day, walking the dogs, running errands, going to work. They're not very supportive for jobs standing or walking but I change into work shoes when I get there. There's moderate arch support, but all the other features make them my current favorite shoe. The lining hasn't squished down yet so they're perfect for temps 30-60 degrees. The purple shoe is gorgeous.
