These sandals are great. Not only do they look great but they feel great too. I received them within 5 days and they were shipped with care. I always love Merrell shoes. They are a true product. This was the first time that I ordered from Zappos and the experience was terrific. I would not hesitate to order again. Don't let the color fool you. They go with practically everything and not to mention comfortable. Love Zappos and Merrell.

I really like this brand's hiking boots, so I didn't mind paying this much for a pair of sandals from them. In the picture they look sturdy and like they would be well secured to the foot. Not so. The silver toe strap is stiff and loose, with no stretch. The straps that do keep the shoe on are placed uncomfortably over the instep. As well, there is no padding or cushion at all in these shoes, and the rigid part of the sole that connects to the ankle strap is easily felt through the sole on the heels. Immediate return.

I spend most of the day on my feet, both in and out of doors. Although I wanted a barefoot style, I was not sure that these would be comfortable enough for me, but I absolutely love them. They are not very cute, but the comfort is fabulous. And they are never stinky!

I've been looking for a light, flexible walking shoe for the longest time, and this is perfect! I like that this is wide enough for my feet, it doesn't pinch at all. It's also a great bonus that it can get wet and dries easily. Very cute too! I can walk in these the whole day.

I have been looking for a waterproof shoe that is not a flip-flop for ages. I have a wide foot and most sandals with one strap across the toes are too narrow for me. I saw these sandals on a lady in the grocery store, asked her about them, went home and found them on Zappos online, ordered them and had them on my feet in less than 24 hours! Now that is great service. I love the shoes and they fit my wide feet perfectly. I also love Zappos!

Love these shoes. Not only are they light, but perfect for water sports transitioning to hard rocky surfaces. Easy to clean and easy to fit to your feet with the velcro straps. The ribbon at the big toe is very comfortable and does not dig even when wet.

Oh my heavens, I love this shoe! Ordered several Chacos and Tevas - needed water shoes again for a rafting trip. The others were so heavy and bulky and the straps were cumbersome. Remembered why I had given my previous pair away. Then I tried on these and Wow! So comfortable. So light and yet they hug your foot completely. I have a ballerina arch and was afraid there wouldn't be enough support but actually the support is Great! Honestly, I think I could forget that I have these on - almost feel like slippers.
Brands I'd also recommend: don't know of any other brand w/ this "barefoot" technology

First, gotta love Zappos! Ordered on Wednesday, received on Thursday, wearing them on Friday. Cannot beat that. Now to the sandal. These are like being barefoot, but better. Very comfortable, supportive around the foot and great feeling in the arch. Ultra light as well; weigh like nothing. Just what you (I) expect from Merrell. Walked a half mile in them so far this morning and love them.
Brands I'd also recommend: More Merrell :)

These sandals are so cute. I'm really bummed I have to send them back. The toe strap is very uncomfortable on my foot - I know it would bother me a lot if I were to wear them for any length of time. So disappointed. I really wanted these to be 'the ones', but I decided on Birkenstocks with a toe strap - much more comfortable.

I so wanted these to work, but they are simply enormous on my low instep, high arch, narrow foot. No amount of adjusting could get these to work. I don't think I'll ever find narrow hiking sandals; everyone seems to cater to wide feet.
