I purchased these shoes to wear to Disney in the fall. They are very comfortable and have plenty of toe room. The style is cute also! Would recommend them to anyone.

Great Lightweight Shoes -
I really like these shoes and bought them in both black and tan. They do run a little wide, but I ordered them in my usual size anyway because one of my feet is a little longer than the other.
When I first put them on, I wasn't sure I was going to keep them.
They have the feel of flip-flops; your heel rises upon walking; the strap keeps them on your feet. However, I quickly got used to the flip-flop feel. After a while I didn't even realize I was wearing shoes...they are very lightweight--great for traveling.

Best shoe for me -
I have tried in vain to find a shoe I can wear and be comfortable, with no luck. I had bunion surgery on one foot and the other now has a bad bunion, but I can wear these shoes with no problem as they have a "give" to them. I even wore them in rain in Budapest and they were dripping wet, but by the morning all dry. I highly suggest purchasing these shoes!!!

Cute Shoe!
I bought this shoe for an upcoming trip to Asia - easy on & off in the multiple airports. It's quite comfortable and I have a bunion issue on one foot, so the width is good. I wouldn’t imagine it would work for very narrow feet.

Blue/Green Shoe Super comfy and Super cute -
I totally love this shoe!!! It's comfy for a size 11, not too wide for a very narrow foot. Feels great!

Comfortable and cute -
This shoe was a great find. I originally bought it in blue in a store and I loved it so much I checked to see if Zappos carried it. Of Course Zappos had it in every color, so I ordered it in Black. It’s a great little slip on that is cute and comfortable. I think it even makes my size 10 foot look smaller. It just seemed to mold to my foot and it looks great with Jeans. I LOVE Zappos.

New Shoe Review -
I was very pleased and surprised at the quick service; I ordered the shoe on Thursday and had it on the NEXT DAY!!! At no shipping cost to me! The shoe is one of the most comfortable that I own and I get many compliments when I wear it...I work in a hospital were several people have the same shoe in different colors.

They feel like slippers -
These are a bit more casual than what I would usually wear to work, but they have worked out great. They really do feel like I am wearing slippers. I love them.

Merrell Encore MJ -
This is my second pair of this style. This is the most comfortable shoe! I’m a big fan of merrells and own many styles. This style feels great all day long. I walked the city of Paris this summer in these shoes and felt like I was wearing sneakers.

Really like these shoes!
After reading the other reviews, I decided to try a pair. Turns out it was a good decision. They do not require breaking in. Put them on and you are ready to go without worry of sore, aching feet. I plan to order these in a different color to go with us to Disney World.

Merrell Encores are great!
I love my Merrell Encores. It's always a challenge to move from summer sandals to closed toe shoes. However, this year, my toes never felt pinched. I've had back issues for years, and these shoes offer substantial support, and are so light weight. My back seems happy with them too. The quality is astounding... nice, safe soles, great velcro straps to tighten according to the width of your feet. They're very easy to slip into, giving my back another reason to be happy.

Greatest walking show for WDW -
I bought these shoes for Disney and I was the only one in the whole group that didn't get a blister. They look good and feel good. These shoes were awesome!

Perfect Shoe!
I love these shoes! Glad I read the reviews. I usually wear an 11, but ordered a 10 because most reviews said they run large. 10 fit perfectly. They breathe enough to wear without socks, look great with slacks or jeans, and not one irritation or blister. Bought another pair in beige too.

Cute shoe!
Very cute shoe-I have had so many compliments on these. I got the gray ones and I love the color-it almost has a lavender hue to it. These run big-I wear an 8.5 or 9 and I ordered an 8.5 but I probably should have gotten an 8 in these as there is plenty of room in the length. These are my first Merrell's but I'm sure I'll be buying more styles in the future.

I love this shoe. It is as comfy as an athletic shoe, but can wear it with just about anything.

Satisfied customer -
I have had 8 surgeries on my feet in the last 2 years and have not been able to find any shoes I could wear that had enough support, cushion, and comfort until I found these. They are dressy enough for me to wear with skirts as well as slacks.

Great walking shoe -
These shoes are very comfy for doing lots of walking, or for just wearing around the house. Wore these on a trip to Seattle where we walked all over the city on several days and no foot pain which is usually a problem for me. I plan on taking these to Europe next summer as I believe they will hold up well and keep me pain free.

Awesome Shoe!
I have purchased 3 pair of this shoe. Two for myself and one for my daughter. I would love to have this shoe in different colors. I must have a comfortable shoe, no high heels, but at the same time a sharp looking shoe. Not an athletic look. I've always been drawn to the little cute and stylish shoe regardless of comfort. This shoe is professional, cute, and comfortable. Several of my customers have taken note of the style and asked about the comfort. My only complaint is that the top edge above the toe rubs until you've worn them about 48 hrs. Afterwards there isn’t any rubbing and feels great.

These are THE most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. Although I bought these from a Clarks outlet store, I was excited to find them available through Zappos. They are true to size and the arch support is something that is hard to find in many shoes. To second comments by another reviewer, the "clever" model is disappointing in its lack of comfort. Out of the ordinary for Clarks.

Most comfortable shoes I own - I ordered the grey in June. I have been suffering with foot pain from plantar fasciitis. This is the only pair of shoes I can feel comfortable in now. I am a hairdresser so I have to wear good shoes. I just ordered them in black for fall. I normally wear a 9.5 but these fit better in the 9. They are great!

Wonderfully, comfortable - I love these shoes! I wear a heel lift in one shoe and this is the first pair of shoes that I have tried that fit so well with the lift thanks in part to the adjustable strap. I usually wear an 8.5 but I wear an 8 in these.

The Merrell Encore MJs are incredibly comfortable shoes to wear to work, especially if you are on your feet a lot like I am. Not only is it a stylish pair of shoes, but the most comfortable pair of shoes I own. I'd definitely recommend everyone to purchase a pair of these shoes!!!

I should be your spokesperson - I had many compliments on this shoe and wished they had my size in black. True to fit and very comfortable, looks good even with my suits at work. Gave the name out to a lot of women, I even took off the shoes so they could feel the lightness and material. I think I sold them on the shoe!

Great shoe for travel -
I'm going to Italy for 17 days and can only bring a carry-on and a small day pack. These shoes are a great all-purpose travel shoe for my trip. (I'm also bringing a pair of Privos.) They were comfortable right out of the box, look good with slacks, capris, and skirts. I normally wear a size 7 in Merrells but got these in 6.5 after having tried them on in another color in a local store and discovered the 7 was too big. The adjustable strap is a plus in helping get just the right fit. There is a little height at the back of the shoe that keeps them securely on my feet. Thanks, Zappos!
