Customer Reviews Merrell Lorelei Zip

I have a very difficult size to find in most shoes. When I purchased this shoe I was disappointed because it's too wide and doesn't give me the arch support that I had hoped would come with this brand. If I hadn't worn these shoes I would return them and keep looking.

Not worth the bucks. First day out I got a blister. Nice looking, but not pleasant to the feet. Perhaps I should have gotten a half size larger. They seemed fine for the first half of the day and then! For good will, if Zappos wants to exchange them. I will be happy to do that!

Stylish as always but left foot was a lot longer than the right foot, causing left shoe to flop around when I walked.

Purchased these as possible replacement for similarly styled Barrado Sport that I bought a couple of years ago. Loved the Barrado, but these didn't work for me. Not enough support and the fit too roomy in the toe box. Odd since I have narrow heels and "square" toes and typically problem is too narrow toe box. Also as matter of styling, didn't like the mesh as much in person as in photo. So back they go and thanks to Zappos that is easy to do with lots of other shoe options to choose as alternate.

While it isn't a perfect replacement for my favorite Merrell style (no longer available), I am happy to have something similar.

I wear 8.5 and this style was to big. I like the shoe but I love the barrrado style much better. It's a much better fit than this new style. Please bring the white barrado back.

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 own several Merrell sneakers and remain very satisfied. One year ago I purchased the new re-designed Lorelei sneakers directly from the manufacturer and should have immediately returned them. They consistently irritate my skin and I gave up wearing them. I will continue to look for the "old designs."

They are amazing. Only thing is they felt a little tight with socks on. So I just wore them with no socks. Other than that they are perfect for standing all day while working.

I was going to be traveling for a few weeks, first by air, and then by car, and I wanted to pack light. I needed a lightweight shoe that would not only accommodate my orthotics, but would look good with all kinds of outfits from casual to dressy. Lorelei Zip was exactly the right shoe for my needs.

Ordered those the year before last, they are very long lasting, still new looking and are very comfortable, also for wider feet. Easy to put on, medium, but sufficient arch support and look cool!

Best casual shoe ever. So soft and foot conforming it's almost like a sock or slipper. Use it to travel, love the zipper, so the fit is close not loose or floppy. Have purchased 2 pair in 3 years. Can walk all day, with no irritation. Sad that eventually you simply wear them out from hard use. Will buy again too.

This is my 3rd Merrell shoe like this and I love them! Like a sneaker but looks so much better! You will love them!

Fits like a glove, true to size, so comfy, no breaking in necessary. They have good arch support although by the end of day, I do feel like I need to put on some other shoes. They keep my feet from getting hot also, which is a benefit since I live in a warm city. I got these in 3 colors, for a good lightweight walking shoe, I doubt you will find anything better.

Wife loves them. Says they are the most comfortable shoe ever! Loves the material, fit and relaxed look.

Immediate comfort, easy to choose to wear, a bit more finished look than an athletic shoe but just as comfy, for casual wear at work or play!

The most comfortable flats, period. I bought the tan pair on sale at a store in Colorado this past summer. I've always had constant heel pain for years despite trying many, many pairs of shoes. (Even others made by Merrell) It took a few weeks before it dawned on me that my heel pain was gone! So, I went to Zappos and bought 2 more pair; black & ice. LOVE THEM!

I love these shoes! They are so comfortable. I loved them so much, that I bought another pair in a different color. If you need a lot of arch support, these aren't the shoes for you.

Love these Merrells! Length perfect, width a little narrow but after couple wearings, felt just right. They feel like slippers...so light.

Love this shoe - super comfortable and versatile, for hanging out on weekends or hiking, biking, etc. This is the second pair I've bought. It took a while for me to wear out the first pair. A durable and nice-looking active shoe.

I LOVE this shoe! I have severe Rheumatoid Arthritis in my feet and these have a zipper in the front. When my feet start to swell after about 2 hours after I start my day I just unzip them a bit as the day goes on...it's a great feature! I really wish more shoes would offer this feature. Then people with foot problems would have cuter shoes to choose from. I have them in both blue and brown. I was a bit concerned about the brown because the bottoms looked much "oranger" than they are...but they are great. Thank you Merrell and thank you ZAPPOS!

I have several pairs of zip Merrells. Their snugness, thanks to the close-fitting zipper, lends support and flexibility. The look is rather stylish.

I'm giving 5 stars but please read regarding sizing. Initially, purchased a 9 (my true size). It was too tight but I liked the look, versatility and functionality. I ordered the 9.5 which fit like a glove, at first. After 2 weeks of wear; my foot is swimming in the 9.5. Knowing this now I wish I had stuck with the 9. Moral: these shoes REALLY stretch with wear. Debating whether I like it enough to eat the expense and repurchase the 9.

These shoes are so comfortable and look great with jeans or capris. Comfortable right out of the box!

Excellent fit and comfort. Wanted a walking shoe but did not want a big shoe that looked like gym shoes. Bought them to walk around Italy on my honeymoon and they were perfect. They look good and I could wear them at night as a dressier shoe.
