Perfect for traveling!
Love these shoes for shopping, walking the dog, and navigating airport security! Love that these shoes have no 'pressure points.' I have RA and usually have to change my shoes late in the day. I can wear these all day without any problems. I read other reviews that said they ran a little big and ordered a half size smaller...they fit perfectly! I love these shoes and will probably order another pair very soon!

Love my shoes - I have had a bad foot summer. I had multiple stress fractures in one foot and an injured tendon in the other. I have always been a flip flop lover and have had to give them up. I ordered this Merrell shoe and was going to wear it reluctantly. I was shocked at the comfort, no foot pain, and lots of positive compliments from others.

These shoes have great support and look so cute on. I feel they make my feet look a bit smaller. They are office appropriate and can be dressed down. The strap might take a little getting used to. I have it adjusted for slip-on wear. If your feet sweat easy, you might find an odor. Foot refreshener spray helps with this. I love this shoe!

Super cute but way too wide - These are adorable. I love the lime green, but Merrell (and others) seem to have gone for the very wide, and without the strap they'd fall off. Wish they were narrower and more comfortable. Gave them to my daughter.

Perfection - I opened the box of shoes a few hours ago and they are so comfortable that I have yet to take them off. They are perfect to wear with casual skirts, jeans, shorts, EVERYTHING. Finally, a vegan shoe that offers everything: support, comfort and style.

Great shoe -
Very comfortable and cushy. I bought them to wear to Alaska. Got them larger than usual (1/2 size) and they are very, very roomy. Have to wear thick socks. Still very comfortable and stylish. Love them as much as my MBTs.

THESE SHOES ROCK!
I bought these shoes for my Disney vacation and they were comfortable right out of the box with no break in period. They kept my feet cool, even in the hot FL sun and dried extremely fast when they got wet. On past trips to Disney, by the 3 or 4th day of the trip, my ankle and feet hurt so bad that I have had to get a wheelchair, but this trip I was able to walk the entire time between 5-10 miles each day for 7 days with no pain! And as a bonus, these shoes are adorable and work with almost any outfit!

Love them!
I have plantar fasciitis in both feet, and it's hard to find really comfortable shoes--these really feel great, and I can wear them all day without my feet hurting! They are really cute, too and look good with just about anything.
Worth the money!

Chic AND comfortable!
I have the grey pair...they are fabulous! They fit beautifully, they support and cradle my feet...and they look adorable, which makes me feel adorable! Plus as a vegan, I appreciate their non-leather materials.
Other shoes recommended by reviewer: Any other Merrells, also Dansko, of course, although Danskos tend to be heavy whereas Merrells are light -- another plus.

Merrell Encore Mary Jane -
This shoe is cute and comfortable. Reasonable support for high arches. The trim band and cross-strap are a little rough on bare feet, but not prohibitive! The overall fit and feel are very good, and I'd buy them again.

Great travel shoe!
This shoe is great. Purchased the Merrell's Encore for a trip. Great in airport. Also, a very versatile shoe and comfortable. I normally wear an 11 extra wide shoe. This shoe did not come in that width but I tried it and the width is perfect. Even had a light pair of socks on for in airport. I was very happy with this purchase.

Great summer shoe -
I bought these shoes because I needed a closed toe shoe for work. I am on my feet a good part of the day so I needed something comfortable rather than just a cutie ballet flat. These fit the bill perfectly. They are so lightweight, easy on and off, breathe fairly well and have decent support. My ankles are skinny and they don't make them look too stick like which is always a problem for me with shoes that have a lot of substance to them! Would buy another pair in a minute if I had extra cash!

Beware, Not for bunion sufferers!
I really did like the looks of this shoe and my first impressions were positive. However, after about 5 minutes of wear around the house, my bunion was killing me! The shoe strikes right where it is most tender. So unfortunately, I've had to send it back. Also not much support either. Too bad.

Comfort -
They are cute, they are comfortable and they don't break the Bank! Nice support and they stay on quiet well. Recommended especially for wide feet. I have short, wide feet and my pinky toe usually gets totally smushed in shoes - these do NOT. Will be purchasing other colors.

Perfect travel shoe!
Just got back from vacation where I walked 5-10 miles each day in these shoes - without a single blister! They are lightweight, dry practically instantly if they get wet, and feel wonderfully cushioned. They are actually more comfortable than my beloved Keens! I have never found such a versatile, all-around summer shoe, and I am ordering another pair pronto. Also great for airports.

They don't stay on my foot -
This shoe feels comfy when you step into it, and is very lightweight and breathable. However, it did not stay on my foot when I walked across the carpet... instead it flopped around. The back is open and the strap doesn't seem to hold it on. Unfortunately, I will need to return them. I do appreciate zappos for their easy return policy !

I have a very narrow foot and would not be able to wear this shoe without the adjustable velcro band. The shoe stays on and is very supportive and comfortable.

I really love these shoes. At work, I'm on my feet all day and with these shoes & totally comfortable. I'm going to order them in another color. They're just like wearing tennis shoes. They're nice and roomy, so your toes can move around.

I am completely surprised by how much I love these shoes -
I stand all day working in a kitchen. I am 21 years old and already have hip pains and my legs hurt from standing. These shoes cured me. They have a sole that helps align the hips, creating less stress on the joints and correcting imbalance. They are super comfy and look good with a simple skirt or pants. They never seem to get wet, and dry very fast. They keep my feet cool, but are warm and comfy at night when the sun goes down. I can wear without socks because the insole is removable and washable. Slip resistant. Overall awesome.

Just an okay shoe -
I expected a little more out of this shoe. Its just an okay slip on. Not a lot of support and a little on the snug side for both length and width. Good for just kicking around the house but not good for any kind of distance walking.

Great comfortable shoes -
I love these shoes. They are great for walking all day. They fit the bill for exactly what I wanted. A shoe that I could wear when not in flip flops. They are not a fashion statement. They are a comfortable sport shoe. Based on other reviews I ordered a half size smaller and they fit perfectly.

This is my 3rd pair; Great comfort -
I originally ordered this style in beige. I ordered again in slate and lime green. The lime color is fun for summer. The shoe is extremely lightweight yet very supportive. If between sizes please order the smaller size in this style.

 |  | I needed a hard to find size -
I am in a wheelchair, due to MS. During the normal day, my feet swell a lot. I needed a tie shoe that was large enough and would stay on while I transferred from my chair to the car. I had never bought shoes from Zappos before, but I heard they were a good, reliable company. I found the shoe I needed in the size I needed. I ordered. The shoes arrived so quickly, it was like magic. These shoes were exactly what I hoped they'd be & I will be a Zappos customer for life. Thanks, Zappos!
