LOVE this shoe!!!
I LOVE this shoe!!! They were the most comfortable shoes from the moment I put them on out of the box! I took them on a trip to Europe and instead of the 'support walking shoes' I also took, I wore this the entire time and was so thankful I had them! They are roomy AND the greatest thing is the strap is Velcro and will adjust - in case summer (or too much walking like I did in Europe) causes any swelling. Other Mary Jane styles do not have that adjustable strap! They are light weight, and because they are mesh, they are cool - my feet never get hot and sweaty. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this shoe AND about Zappos! YES - Zappos are the BEST because they sent them out instantly, and I was so surprised I had them the next day! Thanks Zappos for being such a great company to work with. I love my shoes and am grateful for you!

Comfortable, but not in love with the look -
The shoes are very comfortable and I am happy with them. I bought them to wear on my study abroad and they are perfect for that. But, I am not in love with the look. I think they are a little manly even with the strap across, but they do serve the purpose of comfort while walking a ton.

New reason to buy an old timer shoe.
Although Mary Jane style has been around so long, there is a new reason for buying it. This shoe is made for walking in comfort as well as style. You can put this shoe on and go for a walk without worrying about breaking it in. I have a high instep and the velcro strap allowed me to adjust it to the perfect fit. Feels good from the first time you put it on.
Other shoes recommended by reviewer: Any shoe of this brand is wonderful.I have about 10 pairs.

Comfortable slip on shoe -
The shoe is extremely lightweight. It is easy to slip on and the support is good. I've purchased this style in 3 colors. If in between sizes, the smaller size should be ordered because of the open back.

Comfortably cute -
I listened to the reviewers and ordered despite the fact that I would ordinarily buy wide width shoes. The fit is fine except that the heel which has a short back & slips as I walk. It is almost like a flip-flop. But they really are just the cutest shoes & because they are Merrell's I did expect a comfortable fit & was not disappointed.

Comfy! (Be sure to order half size smaller than usual)
I love these shoes! I've worn Merrells for years and have always worn a size 9, but for some reason, I had to go down half a size in these.

Cute and Comfortable -
This is a very comfortable shoe and super cute to wear with pants, shorts, or skirts. They breathe well in the summer heat and I don't need to wear socks with them. I ordered them half size smaller than I usually do for Merrells based on other reviews and was glad I did. I can't wait to get more in other colors!

Love, love, love this shoe!
This is my first pair of Merrell shoes and I can't believe how comfortable they are. I have rather flat feet and sometimes have a hard time finding shoes that have proper arch support but don't make my feet ache. These are AWESOME and I plan to buy more Merrell shoes in the future.

Great Summer Slip On!!
I was looking for a snazzy looking comfortable slip on for work. Needing to wear closed toed shoes puts a damper on cute summer shoes; this Merrell is exactly what I wanted. Cool, comfortable, looks cute! I purchased the black & tan. I bought them, put then right on, not break in time needed!

Comfortable, and a little dressier than clogs -
Like all the Merrells I've owned, these shoes are very comfortable and have good foot support. They are sturdy but light in weight. They are still clunky, but a little nicer looking than then clogs.

LOVE these!
I work on my FEET all the time and I search endlessly for shoes that I can wear to work w/out pain, but I want them to look nice too...Merrell! Comfy! Well made! Durable! Easy to out on and slide off! AND CUTE! I have been wearing these to work and everywhere else. I wish they came in more colors, I'd but them all!

Seriously, order a full size smaller -
I'm a 9.5, *sometimes* a 9, so with this shoe, based on the reviews, I ordered a 9. Nope, too big! I quick exchange got me an 8.5 Perfect!! It's the only 8.5 in my closet. Very nice and comfortable shoe, with a good footbed, and an upper that is lined but still feels nice and cool.

I'm walking on a cloud! So light and cushy! The mesh conforms to my foot, just the flexibility I need for a wide foot. The comfort of my sneakers, but looks that can't be beat. Wear them with pants, skirts, shorts - it all works! I'd wear them anywhere - around town, going out, to work, and on my next cruise! I have them in three colors. Need I say more?

Merrell Encore MJ -
This is a truly great shoe! After foot surgery, I needed a comfy shoe to wear that would accommodate my extremely swollen foot. After reading reviews that this shoe felt larger, I hoped it would fit. It did, and the velcro strap allows me to adjust both shoes for a proper fit.

Love them!!! They are incredibly comfortable and supportive. I've been dealing with an old ankle injury and can't wear anything with a heel right now, so these shoes saved my life. I can wear them to work or with a pair of shorts. They even got a thumbs up from my podiatrist!

Walking on air.
I am a big fan of Merrell shoes. Found this shoe and liked the reviews, so I ordered it. Am I glad that I did! These are sooo comfortable. I thought the back would be a little higher; it's more of a slide, but that's okay. The fit is perfect - size and width - and the strap adjusts perfectly for my high arch. Wore them to work with pants the day after I received them... no break-in period needed, even without socks! They feel like soft broken-in slippers... they're light and airy and oh so comfortable. I could walk all day in these! A great, comfortable shoe!

Finally...
I have been searching for a practical, tough outdoor shoe that isn't ugly. These are it. I bought them last week and they felt like old friends the moment I put them on. I have pounded around wet fields, muddy festival grounds, slippery creek beds, (and worn them to my office) and they still look and feel great. Well made, great traction, comfortable, and cute. What more could you want? Im actually tempted to buy another pair in case they discontinue them - Im not sure I can live without them now that Ive found them.

Great, except for one small problem...
The shoes were so comfortable and adorable (and got delivered less than 24 hours after I placed my order!), except for one problem. I wore them on a vacation in Ireland and less than one week in, one of the rubber soles on the bottom peeled off! Thank God for super-glue. Otherwise they were great.

Sporty, fun, versatile, comfy!
This shoe is a great travel shoe as others have mentioned. I added Superfeet insoles for additional comfort and support, though it's comfy on its own. Very light and I love that it's adjustable. Its also great that I can just slide it on. Yay!

These shoes are great for walking, riding a bike, and moderate hiking. They are the perfect summer/vacation shoe. I've gotten many compliments on how cute they are. My sister in law liked them so much, I'm getting her a pair as a gift. I found that they were true to size.

I love these shoes!
These shoes were comfortable from the moment I put them on. I took a long walk in them right away - no breaking in necessary. They are cut low in back, so don't rub my ankle bone, which was a problem with some other makes I tried. They are sporty, but have a dressy look to them and can be easily worn with a skirt.
