    They could be a little more stylish but for comfort they can't be beat! I walked around at the state fair for 10 hours and my feet did not hurt at all. They were a little warm for a 75 degree day but other than that were great. I have terrible plantar fasciitis and it didn't bother me when I wore these.

    This is at least my tenth pair of Merrells. I look at Merrells and Zappos first whenever I shop for shoes. I am an RN and on my feet all day. These are perfect. I wear a size 11 and I am never disappointed in the fit or quality. I highly recommend Merrells and Zappos.

    I\'ve owned these shoes (or variations) for several years - my feet keep getting bigger so I have to buy bigger sizes. They never wear out and are excellent for lots of walking and travel. I\'m going to Morocco and intend to take these as one of my two pairs of shoes = two pairs of Merrell\'s.

    Quite possibly the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever owned! Great arch support, lightweight, and they feel like they mold to your feet. I will definitely be purchasing another pair...or two! I highly recommend these shoes and I will continue to order from Zappos- their customer service is unsurpassed, and you'll receive your order very quickly!

    I've worn Merrells similar to these for years. The foot bed in this pair of shoes is the most comfortable ever. I feel that my feet are tracking really well when I walk in these.

    Great shoe. I stand for 9 hours a day and these are very comfortable and my feet don't hurt after work. I have wider feet and these don't feel too tight at all, but did take about a day to break in. As always, Zappos has great customer service and fast shipping.

    These are great shoes -- all the convenience of a slip-on, with a back just high enough to keep them snug -- and you can use orthotics in them.

    I started wearing Merrell when they first came out, and now every winter I have to have a pair. They are the most comfortable shoes for me. They were perfect for taking the kids to the playground and now they are perfect for taking the dogs in long walks. I like this because they look like clogs, but they are soft on your feet. Bloomingdales had them for more money and with an attitude. Zappos had them for a more convenient price and they were so nice that they send them to me very quickly. I love them! I am waiting for a pair in brown.

    I have problems with screws in my ankle so I can not wear shoes that come up very far on the ankle. These shoes fit great and are so comfortable. I really like Merrill shoes, they are extremely comfortable. Love Zappos! I am not afraid to try shoes, because I can ship them back free if I don't like them. Great selection!

    Needed a good comfortable walking shoe for out trip to London next March and based on the glowing reviews here, decided to give these a try. First impression is that they seem to be comfy, but if you want to wear anything heavier than a trouser sock, go up a half size. I'm normally a perfect 6.5, but these feel a tad snug, but are fine with thinner socks. If I returned for a half size bigger then I fear I'd be sliding out of them. I think after a little break in time, these will serve me well.

    It SQUEAKS. Squeaks on every surface, hard and soft, because the squeak comes from the footbed, not the sole. Other than the squeaking, this shoe is the standard, very comfortable, not-so-stylish Merrell that I love. If squeaking everywhere you go doesn't bother you, it's a great shoe. I returned mine.

    These shoes are just what I've been looking for for almost 2 years now. I have a narrow foot and need a shoe that can handle my custom orthotics. With my orthotics and a pair of socks these fit perfectly. I like it that I can slide into them but that my orthotics fit all the way in, so aren't visible. They have a good arch, that I need, and they look good with my cords and my jeans and super comfortable. I love these and hope Merrell keeps making them because they are sturdy with a good sole and won't wear out any time soon.

    I zeroed down on these shoes, as I was having intense pain in my soles, as I sometimes have to stand and walk for hours. I wanted something that could provide good support. And these shoes are great.
