Merrell Encore Gust SKU: #7659532

Great for getting through security at airports, great on the plane as you can slide out of them as your feet swell. Great walking shoes on uneven surfaces, as I found out in Rome. Supportive without making you feel your feet are in vices. Like barefoot with great cushioning. Water resistant, except for heel, whose low height also allows small stones to get onto the footbed. Big deal, you stop, empty the shoe and get on your smooth way.

This is my third pair of these shoes. One pair that I still wear, I should have thrown away a year ago, as parts are falling off of them, and I've worn the insole into several pieces. I also have a brown pair and just now received a black pair. They are quite comfortable. I have to wear a 5/8" lift in one shoe and the pad fits adequately underneath the removable insole liner. I've used a pair of these shoes for fairly rough work, but they are not intended for heavy work. It is simply that they are so easy to kick on and off, and are so comfortable, that I hate to have to lace up my work shoes. They are good looking, however not flashy. Great shoes for casual, and even dressy casual applications in a pinch. I order them 1/2 size larger (size 12 regular) to accommodate my 11 1/2 EE foot.

The shoes were purchased for my disabled son who is also flat footed. He seems to walk better with the Merrell shoe and it's easy for him to slip on and off. When they wear out (which takes a while, as they are very durable) we get a new pair!

Bought these for my husband. He loves them. They are comfortable, and easy to get in and out of, his main criterion. They are acceptable style-wise for his job as an IT consultant.

I recently purchased these Merrell clogs and the minute I put them on they were true to size and the most comfortable clogs I've ever owned. Plus with the free shipping and fast service by Zappos it was a double pleasure.

My third pair in 6 years. The best shoe is less shoe: less weight and more foot freedom makes them super comfortable. This pair has slightly better details than last two and the Gust is more graceful than the Encore Groove.

My husband wants these shoes every year. He loves them. Zappos is the best place ever to get shoes...fast and free shipping and super easy returns. Let your fingers (instead of your feet) do the walking. Great store.

First time ordering from Zappo's. Service was excellant. Shoes were a replacement pair that were no longer available at LLBean. They are just as we expected, sized appropriately, comfortable, and the heel counter is high enough to wear and stay on in any situation. I also like the fact that I can wear my Good Feet arch supports in them with no problem.

I have a pair that I have had for many years & my husband has always wanted a pair, too--he often would wear mine. I could never find the ones for men that looked like this in stores & he didn't like the ones for men with the stitching on the top. I was happy to find these on Zappos and he was surprised and thrilled to get them for Christmas. They fit great, although he says not quite as comfy as mine (but mine are worn in a lot) & now I can have my old ones back!

In the past ten years, I've owned I think five pairs of these shoes. They've evolved during that time with different leathers and colors but have consistently been good shoes that hold up to a lot of tough wear with very little shoe polish or messing around with them. Most of the time I just wipe them off with a wet paper towel and head out the door. This pair has a type of leather that tends to scuff more but still they look pretty good, again without a lot of care. Honestly, I hope Merrell continues to make this still 'til I die because they are absolutely great shoes. I am very grateful to Zappos.com for carrying them as I have the biggest feet in my community and buying shoes in a brick and mortar store is a virtual impossibility on any given day.

This is a completely comfortable slip-on. It is my go to shoe. It is a pleasure to keep the shoe shined up.

Best slip-on shoe out there, bar none. Perfect for jobs that require you to be on your toes for long hours. They also work well for dress casual events. These are my first pair of Merrell's and certainly will not be the last.

This is the second pair my husband has gotten to wear to work at the hospital. Favorite shoes ever, worn daily to a job where he never sits.

I ordered these shoes for my husband to wear while he is undergoing many hospital visits for cancer treatment. He needed some shoes that he could slip on easily and that had support. He loves these shoes! Told me he is amazed at how comfortable and supportive they feel. Once again, thanks Zappos for delivering these overnight and making one happy guy out of my husband. I may order another pair for him!

Very nice product, purchased to replace a pair bought many years ago. Comfortable and durable.

I have a pair of brown Merrells in a similar style, but needed black shoes. I did a quick online search and discovered Zappos. The person who took my call was courteous, knowledgeable, and helpful. He even upgraded my shipping, and the shoes arrived the next day. I am thrilled with the service I received, and with my shoes.

These are great shoes. They came in a flash and fit well. The only problem is that they are not as non-skid as my last pair of Merrells were. If that is not too big of a need, this shoe is comfortable and gives great support.

Great shoe. The clog style gives the perception of a larger shoe since it is a looser fit. I estimate these run one half size larger than I typically wear.
