Merrell Encores are great!
I love my Merrell Encores. It's always a challenge to move from summer sandals to closed toe shoes. However, this year, my toes never felt pinched. I've had back issues for years, and these shoes offer substantial support, and are so light weight. My back seems happy with them too. The quality is astounding... nice, safe soles, great velcro straps to tighten according to the width of your feet. They're very easy to slip into, giving my back another reason to be happy.

Greatest walking show for WDW -
I bought these shoes for Disney and I was the only one in the whole group that didn't get a blister. They look good and feel good. These shoes were awesome!

Perfect Shoe!
I love these shoes! Glad I read the reviews. I usually wear an 11, but ordered a 10 because most reviews said they run large. 10 fit perfectly. They breathe enough to wear without socks, look great with slacks or jeans, and not one irritation or blister. Bought another pair in beige too.

Cute shoe!
Very cute shoe-I have had so many compliments on these. I got the gray ones and I love the color-it almost has a lavender hue to it. These run big-I wear an 8.5 or 9 and I ordered an 8.5 but I probably should have gotten an 8 in these as there is plenty of room in the length. These are my first Merrell's but I'm sure I'll be buying more styles in the future.

I love this shoe. It is as comfy as an athletic shoe, but can wear it with just about anything.

Satisfied customer -
I have had 8 surgeries on my feet in the last 2 years and have not been able to find any shoes I could wear that had enough support, cushion, and comfort until I found these. They are dressy enough for me to wear with skirts as well as slacks.

Great walking shoe -
These shoes are very comfy for doing lots of walking, or for just wearing around the house. Wore these on a trip to Seattle where we walked all over the city on several days and no foot pain which is usually a problem for me. I plan on taking these to Europe next summer as I believe they will hold up well and keep me pain free.

Awesome Shoe!
I have purchased 3 pair of this shoe. Two for myself and one for my daughter. I would love to have this shoe in different colors. I must have a comfortable shoe, no high heels, but at the same time a sharp looking shoe. Not an athletic look. I've always been drawn to the little cute and stylish shoe regardless of comfort. This shoe is professional, cute, and comfortable. Several of my customers have taken note of the style and asked about the comfort. My only complaint is that the top edge above the toe rubs until you've worn them about 48 hrs. Afterwards there isnt any rubbing and feels great.

These are THE most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. Although I bought these from a Clarks outlet store, I was excited to find them available through Zappos. They are true to size and the arch support is something that is hard to find in many shoes. To second comments by another reviewer, the "clever" model is disappointing in its lack of comfort. Out of the ordinary for Clarks.

Most comfortable shoes I own - I ordered the grey in June. I have been suffering with foot pain from plantar fasciitis. This is the only pair of shoes I can feel comfortable in now. I am a hairdresser so I have to wear good shoes. I just ordered them in black for fall. I normally wear a 9.5 but these fit better in the 9. They are great!

Wonderfully, comfortable - I love these shoes! I wear a heel lift in one shoe and this is the first pair of shoes that I have tried that fit so well with the lift thanks in part to the adjustable strap. I usually wear an 8.5 but I wear an 8 in these.

The Merrell Encore MJs are incredibly comfortable shoes to wear to work, especially if you are on your feet a lot like I am. Not only is it a stylish pair of shoes, but the most comfortable pair of shoes I own. I'd definitely recommend everyone to purchase a pair of these shoes!!!

I should be your spokesperson - I had many compliments on this shoe and wished they had my size in black. True to fit and very comfortable, looks good even with my suits at work. Gave the name out to a lot of women, I even took off the shoes so they could feel the lightness and material. I think I sold them on the shoe!

Great shoe for travel -
I'm going to Italy for 17 days and can only bring a carry-on and a small day pack. These shoes are a great all-purpose travel shoe for my trip. (I'm also bringing a pair of Privos.) They were comfortable right out of the box, look good with slacks, capris, and skirts. I normally wear a size 7 in Merrells but got these in 6.5 after having tried them on in another color in a local store and discovered the 7 was too big. The adjustable strap is a plus in helping get just the right fit. There is a little height at the back of the shoe that keeps them securely on my feet. Thanks, Zappos!

Gorgeous little shoe - very comfortable and cute. Easy to slip foot in and out without adjusting strap. Perfect for daily wear.

I wish I had these in all the colors offered. This shoe fit well from the moment I put them on. Only negative I see is that it fits so well that when you take them off, the Merrill shoe insert comes out. Not a big deal at all though. Next pair are the tan ones.

I needed a comfortable shoe for traveling. Not only are the Merrells true to size they are extremely comfortable. A big plus is that they are so light weight, which is important for packing light.

Very comfortable shoe. My favorite for running around during the day. No break in required and just the right amount of support and softness in the sole.

My new everywhere shoe -
My new favorite shoe. I have one in pale green that served me all over Italy, over rough hills, cobbled city streets, and rocky beaches. Supremely comfortable and cute right out of the box. Now own same shoe in black and pale blue! And Zappos provided the usual terrific service!

Cute and comfortable -
I already have this shoe in black so decided to order it in gray. I have a narrow foot so ordered it a half size smaller than I usually wear. It is plenty long and fits well in the arch. Also, because of the adjustable strap, it fits my narrow foot well and it is extremely comfortable -- lots of good toe room, too.

SOO happy!
I've made a series of bad decisions on shoes for many, many trips. I decided to do some research and came up with both these and Keens. I bought a pair of each a few weeks ago with the intent of breaking them in for a month. These shoes required NO breaking in (though some people may be bothered slightly by the strap initially.) My only complaint is when wearing them without socks; your feet feel that hot-sweaty way they do when you put them in sneakers with n socks. I've gotten used to it, though. I'm now trying to get someone to tell me that they look professional enough to wear at meetings (I am a meeting planner and they could change my life.) Unfortunately, that's not going to happen. As a vegetarian, I am constantly struggling to find leather-less shoes - I was thrilled with this purchase and will probably buy another pair. I generally wear 9, 9.5, or 10 - so I bought a 9.5 and they're fine. I will note that I'm very happy walking in these shoes, but not as comfortable when I'm just standing.

Good Casual Styling -
I really like this shoe, but it only comes in medium, which is usually a good fit for me. This particular shoe is too wide at the strap, so I took off the Velcro, cut the straps to a length for my foot, and re-sewed the Velcro. I liked them well enough to keep the shoe, and it was an easy fix and I wasn't willing to pay the shoe shop $10 or more to do it.
Other shoes recommended by reviewer: Naturalizer used to make a shoe with a half heel with elastic straps...

This shoe seems to really only be great for flip-flop lovers. They certainly do a lot of flopping around on the feet. The heels just won't stay down. These shoes are pretty wide, which would be alright if the adjustable strap adjusted to narrower and not just wider. They are kind of cute and VERY lightweight, but just not a shoe in which I could go for long walks, which is what I wanted.
