Being vegetarian for almost 20 years, and knowing what damage leather production does to the environment, I wanted to break my leather habit.The Merrell Encore MJ is a vegetarian shoe. I stand on my feet all day at work, and after three of my clients came in wearing this shoe, I had to find out why. They said it\'s their most comfortable (scientific insoles,breathable fabric), light weight, wear with everything go-to shoe. I agree. I bought a half size down from my usual size because I don\'t wear socks with this shoe. It gets stinky by the end of the day, but they air out fairly well over night.

I bought these shoes to wear on a trip overseas. I wanted something comfortable, and man, these are it. I have experienced Merrill shoes previously so I was confident these would work. I wasn't wrong. They are a wee bit loose, but it was perfect for the times my feet swelled! Good arch support too!

These are great shoes and fit my casual work/play wardrobe perfectly. They are highly adjustable therefore wonderfully comfortable right out of the box.

Love these shoes. The support of a tennis shoe but a cuter style. I especially love the strap which makes the shoe so cute!

I have been living in these shoes this summer! They are super soft with an ample toe box. The Mary Jane strap allows you to keep the shoe on your foot, so there's no clinching of toes. I have a bone spur in my left heel. The soles of this shoe allow me to walk all day during travel without leaving me limping at the end of a day. I have the lime green and blue combination, they go with almost everything.

These are wonderful, comfortable, supportive shoes. I am a teacher, on my feet all the time, and I love them so much I have them in 3 colors. Never did that before with any shoe. Lightweight, too!

I love these shoes so much I bought three pairs (one in each color). They are sporty enough to wear with running stuff and they are girly enough to wear with a casual skirt or dress. The comfort is excellent. I wear them when I travel through airports (lots of walking with luggage) and wear them when I go shopping in big malls. I have received many compliments and have steered lots of women who want to buy them toward Zappos. The red ones are my favorite - they make me happy when I look at them! Unfortunately, I recall that I bought the last red pair - so life will be a little dull without them when they are retired from duty.

I absolutely love these shoes. We have to wear closed toed shoes at work, so it's always a struggle getting something cool enough for the summer. The low heels and the open weave of the uppers are the closest to being a sandal. On my feet all day, the built in arches provide perfect support--they were comfortable right out of the box. And they're cute, besides!

These are the perfect summer shoes. No socks allowed! No complaints - they are comfortable, substantial, and cute. My feet do not get tired in these shoes and I get compliments from strangers.

I put on my new Merrell Encore Mary Janes, wore them to stand on my feet for 10 hours and never realized I even had on shoes. More than comfortable and they get better as they conform to your feet. Great style with the velcro strap to adjust to narrow feet. "Houston"

Love these shoes -
I'm entering my last month of pregnancy and have been wearing sandals since the weather warmed up. As my feet have gotten more swollen the sandals were no longer comfortable. I was looking for something light weight and cool, as well as comfortable that would accommodate the swelling in my feet. I have found it in these shoes. I've had the shoes for a few days and I'm so happy I decided on this model. I ordered the shoes in both black and beige and love them both. These shoes will carry me through the rest of my pregnancy and beyond. For me these are so much more comfortable than wearing running shoes and heavy socks in June and July.

I tried these on a friend’s recommendation. I needed something for warmer weather with capris but not warm enough for sandals yet. I also needed something for standing on my feet for 8 hours. These were perfect for both. I love them. Very comfortable, my feet were not tired at the end of the day and no break in period needed. I have got many compliments on them, they are so cute! Zappos is sooooo fast. I ordered on Thursday after my morning shift and they were on my front porch when I got home Friday from work. Thanks Zappos!

One of my favorites -
I love these shoes. I've had them a month or two and wear them often. I have arthritis in my feet so I need a comfortable, well made shoe that doesn't pinch. These fit the bill. They also have good support. Plus, I think they're cute. I love the ease of a slip on, but with the strap so they don't slide off. I'm going to order another pair in a different color since whenever you find a shoe you like, it's usually discontinued when you want another pair.

I have gotten so many compliments on these shoes. I have a high arch, but these fit my arch with no problem. I’m an outpatient nurse and am on feet a large part of the day. These shoes take me through the day with my feet feeling comfortable with no rubbing, even with no socks. I also like that they go with so many outfits. I liked them so much that I also have a pair in a brown suede.

These shoes were great, I got them for a vacation where I had lots of walking planned and they were as comfortable as I was hoping they would be! They are pretty well cushioned and supportive and very lightweight. I picked them out after reading reviews and I thought they were great for travel! I wasn’t crazy about how they looked at first, but they’ve grown on me and now I really like the style, too.

There shoes are very comfortable. Good to do a lot of walking in. The support on the shoe is wonderful. Since the shoe doesn’t cover your heel completely, I didn’t know if they would slip off of my heel, but they don’t. They are also super light in weight and airy. They look cute with jeans, shorts, and capris. Great shoe for the spring and summer, you don’t have to wear socks with them.

I absolutely love these shoes. I have hammertoes, and these shoes are deep enough so that the "hammered" toes do not rub on the top. Also, they breathe and are washable. I just throw them in the washer once a week and air dry - they come out perfect. So soft and cushiony...I'm ordering more. They are a little wider than normal, because usually I take a wide size, but just medium in this style.

These MJs are perfect with Khakis or shorts. As for size, I think they run a bit large. Only thing I'd change is the stitching, would prefer that to match the color of the shoes rather than the funky contrasting color. They're very comfortable for all day wear.

These are terrifically comfortable, so much so that I ordered a pair in another color. I have narrow feet and plantar fasciitis and I can wear them all day without out a problem.

Awesome shoes for pregnancy -
I'm 25 weeks pregnant and I go everywhere in these shoes. Next to my Earth Rockets (tennis shoes), they are the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever owned and are stylish enough to wear to work and durable enough to wear on long walks. I ordered a half size smaller than I usually wear and they fit perfectly.
Washable is also a huge plus - I've machine washed the soles twice and hand washed the outside and insides of the shoe after they got muddy. Good as new.
And they arrived in two days on regular shipping! Thanks Zappos.

The Mary Jane style looks great with skirts and capris and don't look like clunky, comfort shoes. The shoe feels breathable when it's on, but after wearing them a couple of times barefoot, there is a slight odor. We'll see if it becomes obvious. I'm not sure if the shoes are comfortable enough for all-day wear sight-seeing on cobble-stoned streets as I had hoped, but they are great for all-day wear on a normal day. Thanks Zappos for great service!

I knew I wouldn't be disappointed with another pair of Merrells! These MJs are PERFECT for summer and look adorable with capris and skirts, or jeans! I am very picky about my shoes because I have really flat feet but Merrells do not make my feet feel tired and achy at the end of the day. These MJs, I do not recommend running in them because they are just not comfortable for running. But otherwise, I love them!

Very Comfortable!
This may not be the prettiest shoe, but it feels great! I have flat feet and a narrow heel, so finding a feminine shoe to wear with capris has been a challenge. The arch is adequate -- seems to have enough support for my flat feet. These are really comfortable and fun to wear with different socks. Also, they look nice with bare feet. Glad I found them.

Merrell Encore -
I have these in black and love them! I bought them for a vacation and wore them walking all over San Francisco and California. Did not need to be broken in. I am looking to buy another color. Felt great on my heal with recurring plantar fascitis.
