I am so pleased with my Merrell Lorelei Zip shoes. I bought them for a trip to London and wore them all day for the first time the day I left Atlanta for the trip. Each day we walked between 5 and 10 miles and, on one occasion when the elevators weren't functioning, climbed 87 steps to get from the Underground to street level. My Merrells never let me down! I am a relatively inactive senior citizen and was afraid I would have aching feet, back, legs, etc. on this trip. Just didn't happen. I have worn these shoes nearly all my waking hours since buying them. I highly recommend them.

I really wanted to like these. I have other Merrell shoes and they are the most comfortable shoes I own. There were 2 problems with this style - too narrow and the toe was pointed. I have a high bone on the top of my foot, so I could barely get these zipped with very thin socks on. If I had liked the style, I might have kept them and hoped they stretched, but I couldn't get over the pointed toe. In the picture, the toe looks rounded, but it isn't and I didn't care for the look

I bought my Lorelei's 4 months ago, right before my knee replacement surgery and they have been worth every penny! I'm still recovering (slowly)and a bit antsy about walking and these shoes keep me grounded. I've worn nothing else since surgery. Of course, I love Merrell shoes anyway, as well as Zappos.

This is a fantastic comfort shoe. I have an art studio and am on my feet most of the day. I bought Merrell Lorelei Zip in the deep tan color last spring and wore it on a trip, resulting in my wearing it all the time. So I decided to add a pair in black to my wardrobe this fall. The black makes your foot look smaller if that matters to you. It's so lightweight and so comfortable right out of the box that I wear it for exercise, travel, and work. It's so easy to slip on and zip up, and can be worn with or without a sock. The removable foot bed is a plus. It's also true to size and though one of my feet is a little larger than the other, the last feels great on both feet, which is important if you need lasting comfort. The is the best Merrell shoe I've purchased.

Loved the shoe, but the size 6 is at least a half size too big for me. Will be returning for a smaller size.

These shoes are super comfortable. They ran a little bigger than marked. I wear an 11 in another pair of Merrells, but these seem bigger. The first time out, the back of the shoe cut in, but it seems to be better now after a few wearings. Overall, really comfortable and light.

I bought Lorelei in the blue, and have had many compliments! It fits well, and is very comfortable. I do wear a short sock with it for more comfort. I wear European size 39/US size 9 most of the time. I bought size 8½ which are just right. Thank you, Zappos, for such good service.

These were immediately comfortable, no break in required. I agree with others though, there's something odd about the zipper. It's difficult to get up and down. I may very well order another pair in the black.

They are wider in the footbed so they don't look as slim as in the past but not too much so especially with socks.

Years ago, I bought a pair of mesh Merrells similar to these and they are well-worn. I have been searching everywhere for these shoes and thanks to Zappos, I have found them. I bought them in white and fuchsia and am so thrilled that Zappos carries them. I have some walking difficulties and these shoes are perfect for comfort, style and support. Though expensive - they are well worth the money.

Love these shoes. Very comfy. Great with casual capris. I bought them in both tan and black. They must run large because I usually wear a 10.5 and the 10 fits better.

Good support, yet soft and cushy. Great with khaki capris for a full day of sightseeing in warm weather. No socks needed, no blisters from day one! Love these shoes, will get a black pair soon!

These are very light and comfortable. I wear them everyday hanging out and these are not workout shoes for me. I need much more support than they offer.

I love these shoes, very light weight, good for traveling. Actually got my Mom to start wearing them and she has trouble finding good foot based shoes that are light. Kind of pricey but worth the money, I have several of these type of Merrell's in all colors.

I bought these shoes to wear in surgery and in the office all day long (I work as a PA in orthopedics). They seem to get the job done. Comfy and easy to put on, and seem pretty supportive. I'd recommend them for those in the healthcare field or those who walk a lot or are traveling.

The delivery was on target. Since they are zip ups there is not much give if you wear athletic socks instead of trouser socks. I was expecting more arch support for Merrells, but they fit pretty well.
