Cute shoe! I get compliments every time I wear these shoes. They are almost perfect – cute and comfortable, but they are a bit roomy. An extra insole solved the problem. I should have tried a size smaller before wearing them to school. Great neutral color. Works with both skirts and slacks.

Disappointment - I bought these cute Merrells at a local shop, told they would be good for casual walking. They seemed comfortable at the store, but I find that I can't wear them for more than two hours at a time without severe discomfort and if I walk in them anywhere, I get blisters bigger than quarters. Not recommended.

Excellent! I weigh approximately 500 lbs and am in a wheelchair. These are the only shoes I can stand up in comfortably and make safe transfers. I wear an 11 Med and they are extremely true to size. I think they are cute and flirty - and feminine. Will buy in more colors.

I loved the look of these shoes but they gave me awful blisters! Also, the arch support isn't ideal (although I have high arches).

Great Shoe - Very cute and comfortable shoe. No break in period. I chose chocolate. It is a deep, rich brown, very pretty. Wish they had more colors to choose from.

Merrells are great - Cute shoe with style. Unfortunately, I have a bunion that it was rubbing on and had to swap for Rieker. Thanks Zappos for the great return/exchange policy. I'm traveling to Italy for 2 weeks and I've been ordered shoes like crazy trying to find just the right pair.

Decent Shoe - I really like the look of this shoe - works great as a casual shoe or even a more casual office shoe. The back of the shoe comes a bit high on me rubbing my Achilles tendon - yikes! This makes it a non-option for a day with too much walking. I'm hoping the leather will soften become more comfortable with wear.

Merrell's Plaza Bandeau - Adorable shoes for jeans. I bought the black and brown suede. They are extremely comfortable and work well with light wool socks. I love shoes and am really particular, but since getting Mortons Neuroma, it is a challenge to get something comfortable for the pain as well as looking good. These fit the bill for a good flat jean shoe for cold winter months. Thanks again Zappos for your wonderful service!

Better then I thought! I could wear these shoes all day the first day, what a surprise. I did have to take out the insole to put in my orthodics but they fit and are comfortable. After trying nearly 50 shoes these felt the best.

A little tight, a lot of style - I own a pair of these in another color that are the suede material; they fit my wide foot much better than the black leather. The leather has very little "give", but with some wear have gotten much better. Overall a really comfortable shoe for wearing standing up for 9-12 hours per day at work.

Just too stiff for me - Although this is a pretty bag for me it was just too stiff and the handles stuck out like wings so using the shoulder strap would not be an option for me. Never unpacked the inside so I cannot even tell you how that would have been...just could not get past the rest. It also reminded me of an overnight bag...just a little too boxy. If the price was half the amount I may have kept, I usually buy sight seen so this is a lesson for me. I do love ZAPPOS and will continue to purchase my shoes from them when needed.
