This sandal runs on the narrow side. Have another Merrell Siren Thong, which I love and although I ordered it in same size it's a wider fit and better arch support.

Had to return it. Looks cute but the toe spacer part is very hard and painful. Also the sandals are smaller than Merrell's typical sandals.

These are super cute and sporty. My goal was to find a flip flop that had more support than average flat ones and this works really well. It is a bit wide for my narrow foot, but because of the shape of the footbed and material my feed don't slide around so I'm able to walk just fine in them. Very happy with them!

I love these shoes; they are cute, comfortable, and perfect for walking every day, all day! I am especially pleased with them because I thought that in order to get shoes that were "good for your feet," they would have to be bulky, but these are light and airy. I highly recommend these shoes; they are a great alternative to the cheap plastic/rubber flip flops people tend to wear (which offer no support at all). All in all, a great buy for the upcoming summer season!

Comfy sandals but they don't have the arch support like some of the other Merrell sandals. I wish I had picked another style with arch support.

These are great flip flops. They are sturdy and comfortable. I get a ton of complements. Order a half size down. I usually wear 6.5 in 9 West and most sandals. I ordered a 6 and they are good.

The top of the sandal is made of stretchy material, so it conforms to your foot. Very comfy! I have trouble with shoes due to a high arch, I would by 10 more pairs of these sandals, they are so comfortable.

Amazingly comfortable, it feels as good as barefoot! Good arch support, straps right size, not too big or too small, true to size. Definitely worth the money! And I love Zappos customer service...the best I have found on the internet! No long waiting time on hold, talked to real person quickly, handled matter faster than I expected on my exchange of other shoes for these. Wow! I will be back again and again and will tell everyone I know.

If you're a fan of Merrell footwear, you'll love these. The bottom is supportive (slightly more "rigid" than I expected, not super flexible/foamy), but very comfortable, like you'd expect with Merrell footwear. Great quality sandal. I am happy with this purchase and would recommend them to anyone looking for a quality sandal.

Is this a lot to spend on a flip-flop? Well now, that all depends. I teach Pilates and flip-flops are the easiest thing to throw on to get to & from the studio. My old cheap flip-flops gave me no support, were taxing to keep my feet in as I walked (not good for your body!) and they turned my heels black. But these Merrells are a dream. They feel like they were made for my feet, the toe separator isn't too thick (a common problem for me), and the sole is a treat for my feet. They are narrow for flip-flops but that's part of why they fit so nicely. Heaven.

Love these shoes, but I really love Zappos! I have ordered from them many times and have always received first-class service, whether it was prompt receipt of my order or returning something because it was flawed or did not fit. Thanks to Zappos we can all still enjoy customer service.

These are the cutest pair of Thongs I own. This slightly grey/white color goes with everything. They go with everything. The sole of the shoe will never wear out,very well constructed. The only complaint I have with them is they are not comfortable at all. The foot bed is quite harder than I thought. I still wear often because of the style but if I will be on my feet a lot in a day I choose one of my more comfy thongs

I love Merrell's. They fit me perfectly and give me the support that I need to be a happy girl. This pair, however, rubbed a spot on my right foot enough that I couldn't wear for more than a few minutes. After about 2 weeks, I'm finally able to wear them for longer, but they took a long time to break in.

I am really disappointed in these sandals. I usually love Merrell sandals, but these are both short and narrow. Perhaps more importantly, the piece that goes between the toes is very rough and hurt my skin the minute I put them on my feet. They are going back immediately. Just a note: They have a very sporty look - the bottoms have neon coloring, which is not a bad thing, but something to be aware of in case you hope to use these as cross-overs with skirts etc.

Love these! I own several pairs of Merrell sandals. They are great comfort and come in many colors. I choose Merrell again and again. You can't beat the comfort and color selection. I do order a size 7 in Merrell rather than the 7 1/2 or 8 I usually take.

Recently got these thongs in blue. I thought what's the difference in flip flops but I was wrong. These have so much more support and comfort. They feel great but the toe piece could be softer. Next I want hollyleaf.

I love these shoes. I wore them at Disney World for 4 days. My back and legs never got tired. This is first time I've ordered shoes online and the fit was fine . I'm probably going to order another pair in another color.

I have been wearing Merrell shoes for years! They are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. You can literally walk in them all day and not worry about your feet hurting! Great arch support!

Best flip flops from Merrell. Have them in black and purple. The fit is great, they have some arch support and look great on the feet. My only issue is the material on the footbed is light in color and gets stained. Not pretty to look at, but gets covered up when you wear the shoes

I first stumbled upon Merrell's sandals 2 years ago at Nordstrom Rack. Ordinarily, I would never have paid so much for a pair of sandals, but I bought them because I was moving to a tropical climate and figured they'd come in handy. That first year, I wore my Merrell's almost on a daily basis...and I loved them so much I went and bought another pair in one of China's overpriced mall, paying nearly twice this price for the Lorelei Thong. I can walk all day in these and am as comfortable as if I were wearing sneakers, only cooler. Love the Merrell sandals. Am planning to buy more here through Zappos and have them shipped to me in China.

I debated whether I would like these or a pair of similar Keen flip flops. I'm glad I chose these. I usually wear a 5.5, but I ordered the 5 as they don't offer half sizes and they fit fine. I was concerned about the width, thought they may be too snug. Although they were a bit snug at first, they've stretched over time. I would love to get another pair, but I don't like the fact that most of the colors they offer have a white footbed.

Very comfy. Right out of box and onto my feet, walked around the house. Great fit. True to my size. Support pretty good...so far the cloth like strap between toes is not rubbing a blister, because that's not a good area to get a blister. Would highly recommend this brand. Can't beat the delivery time either.
