Has become my all time favorite summer shoe. Wish, oh, wish that Merrell would bring these back, so I could buy another pair. The Circuit Breeze seems like it might be a good alternate, but there's nothing like being able to simple slip a shoe on and off, so the mary jane/mule combo is a lovely thing indeed. Clearly intended as a sporty shoe, but these are toned down a bit (less sport shoe bling), so I have worn them with skirts on occasion too.

I have three pairs of this shoe in different colors. They are by far the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. Just came back from Europe where you walk, walk and walk! Couldn't have done it without my Merrells. Love you! My sister bought two pair and thanked me for turning her onto Merrell. Really good for old feet.

These shoes look sort of dorky, but I still love them! They are very comfortable, even when walking around all day. The heel stays on very well for a clog. They do look pretty cute with shorts. The heel is raised a bit, so it makes your legs look nice and is easier on your back. I wear them walking to work, walking my dog, walking around the neighborhood running errands.

Bought these for my mom (a nurse on her feet all day). She loves them and can't believe she went so long without trying Merrells. Highly recommend.

This is my second pair of this exact shoe. Even though they never wear out I had to have a spare! Three friends have bought these after trying mine on. They are cushioned and comfortable and go with anything.

Cute, comfy, and have worn them to work close to every day for over a year. I think they're losing some "cush" but nothing handles my 14 hour days on my feet like these. Not Danskos, not Crocs, Keens are close but no cigar. Fantastic shoe.

These shoes are a great alternative to athletic type shoes and sandals. I live in Tucson AZ but my feet stay cool when I wear the Merrell Encore shoes. I have wide feet but these fit perfectly. I already had this style in black and wanted another pair in a light color. The shoes arrived quickly and the Zappos service was great.

Great, super-comfortable shoe! I get comments on them all the time. I have four pairs in different colors and wear them frequently. They've held up very well with the exception of the fabric of the footliner which is starting to separate after a year of heavy use.
I even wore them hiking in the Rockies for four hours after the lacing mechanism on my regular hiking shoes broke. Highly recommended.

I bought these to wear in the house instead of slippers. I have ceramic tile floors over a concrete slab, and I need something a little more substantial to prevent foot and leg pain. These are great! Comfortable, easy to slip on, and I can adjust the strap if my feet swell. Well worth the money!

Love these shoes. I use them when I am traveling and don't want the "jogging shoe" look on my feet. They are great when I am walking for hours on uneven terrain. They run big. I found that I needed to downsize one whole size when I bought my pair.

These are the most comfortable shoes I have EVER worn. From the minute I slipped them on, my feet felt at home. I have a retail job and I am on my feet for 8 1/2 hours straight. My feet are tired at the end of the day, but they don't hurt like with other shoes. The BEST.

I love Merrell's Encore line and have been wearing them to teach in. They have lots of support and a good amount of toe space (height and width). This MJ is a little sleeker than the others I've worn in the line, but still has enough space.

This is the second pair of these I have owned. I put the first pair through the paces, they lasted for years. I worked in them for years and they never looked worn. They are also very comfy.

Great styling and fit. Perfect for summer, offering more foot protection than sandals. Easily accommodates a heel lift for my leg length difference. I prefer more arch support, so I replaced the insoles with berry Superfeet.

Wore these during pregnancy because they were adjustable for swelling at the end of day. After baby came, the shoes felt much wider and bigger than other Merrell's in same size, but that's why they worked for being 9 months pregnant in august.

These are the best summer shoes! I like them and wear them so much I now have several pairs in different colors. I have high arches and have had a tough time finding cute shoes that work - these don\'t disappoint. WIth plenty of cushioning and support they\'re comfortable all day, whether I\'m sitting in my office or cruising around. They\'re really durable and don\'t wear out too quickly.

These shoes are great. They are super cute and I will probably buy them in a different colors. I usually buy the Easy Spirit slide on, but the Merrells are much more comfortable and fit a little snugger. I highly recommend them.

I have high arches and bunionettes on the outside of my foot. These shoes are wonderful. They have removable foot soles so I can use my inserts. I am 54 and don't like the fact that I have to wear totally unfashionable shoes; these look fashionable and are comfortable - a rarity in my shoe collection. I ordered the wrong size originally & they accepted and processed my return as promised. Great service.
