Customer Reviews Kenneth Cole New York Merge

3rd pair I have had of this exact shoe. Each pair has lasted a long time with walking around the city to and from work. Classic and stylish.

I love the square toed style of this shoe but the Kenneth Cole Reactions shoes are cheaply made and do NOT hold up. I've had several pair through the years and they all fall apart. I've attached a pair after just three years old. I have other shoes I wear so didn't wear these everyday, maybe 4x a month. You can see the top surface is falling apart where the crease is and the rubber sole is cracked in half on both shows. Rubber bottoms just don't hold up. I've also had the bottom separate from the shoe so I had to re-glue it. For this reason I cannot give it high Overall marks and at $100 they're overpriced. For the workmanship and quality, these should be half that price, sorry to say.

Excellent, boardroom-appropriate dress shoe. Rubber sole permits durable outdoor walking but is in a subtle tread (barely treaded at all) so that it has the full appearance of a dress shoe. Took a bit longer than usual to break in, but once there, shoe is durable and comfortable. Narrow feet will benefit from a tongue or heel pad, as this shoe has a bit larger than average internal volume. The only drawback is the gel-insert footbed, which is bizarrely squishy; I swiftly discarded it for an insole taken from another pair of dress shoes.

They broke in quickly and are very comfortable. I wear them almost every day and am very happy with this purchase. I've worn this brand in a similar style for years now and would be hard-pressed to choose anything else.

These shoes are very nice. They are shinny and comfortable. I ususally wear an 8.5 but these were very big. I am returning for an 8.

The shoes are great as expected. The surprise was Zappos customer service. There was a problem with the first pair shipped to me. I called customer service and before we even hung up the phone - they had shipped out the replacement (and with next day shipping). Keep up the great work Zappos - Ill be a return customer for a long time to come.

Great shoe. I've been wearing these for years and I recently purchased my third pair. Can wear them all day without a problem.

The A+ runs a half-size large, but otherwise, it is a terrific shoe all around. A nice formal shoe for wearing with suits (leather is shiny, heel looks formal) but comfortable enough for long walks to the train, or even casual use. Nice toe box; will not pinch you. Breaks in quickly without looking broken in.

This is my second pair of the Merge; I wore the others out before I finally retired them. Great shoe, comfortable and sharp looking. I normally wear 12 1/2, but 12 fit perfectly.

These shoes are friggin great. Sturdy and smooth. Like a good scotch.

Very dressy shoe. Finish is almost patent. Great with suits. Quality.

I bought these shoes for my son. From the moment he tried them on they were very comfortable, no breaking in. They are a good looking shoe, he likes wearing them with a nice pair of jeans or dress slacks. Either way, they made a hit, he loves them. The best part for me was dealing with Zappos. Thanks once again for the great service!

Comfort from Day 1 - Great Shoe at a great price. This shoe felt comfortable from DAY 1. No break in period needed for me. Very Happy with the silver technology comfort system. Very Shiny shoes too (they do scuff easy though). Wore them this weekend with a Tux! Very happy with this purchase.

Great Shoes! These shoes were perfect right out of the box! Felt true to size and took no time to wear in. Look great with business casual or professional clothes and they always get compliments.

A great shoe, great store - I bought these shoes just to replace my other K.C. dress pair, which were badly worn. My first order the shoes were too small, and I was amazed by how quickly the process was w/ Zappo's. The shoe is great, handsome, well made, and very comfortable.

Has it all... form and function - looks like a typical square-toed shoe, however, its clean lines, construction, and simplicity make this shoe stand out amongst those in its description. also very happy with Kenneth's "silver" comfort technology. Made the breaking in period friendlier.

Comfortable shoes - I wear a 10.5 wide and these shoes feel comfortable. Although they aren't labeled wide, they fit nice. I don't tighted the laces too tight but the shoe fits snug and their style is great. The previous reviews helped me in choosing this shoe.

Comfortable in Kansas City - I needed a wide shoe with a rubber sole that could be worn for either business or casual purposes. This shoe lived up to expectations and I would recommend this shoe to all who may want to consider comfort, as well as, style when making thier purchase.

Mmerge - The shoe looks amazing, is more comfortable than other Kenneth Coles I've purchased. I highly recommend it.

Great shoe and great fit - Extremely comfortable
