Great support and comfort with style that blends with many outfits. Washes just like a pair of tennis shoes. I own at least two dozen of these shoes because I have a crooked left foot which is difficult to fit into a shoe. This shoe is perfect for me. Over this period of ownership, I found this last pair was more ample fitting, so I exchanged it for one-half size smaller. It fits fine now.

I am an x-ray tech so I'm on my feet a lot. I wanted a lightweight slide. I purchased and returned 4 different shoes before this one. Zappos, of course, made this very simple. This shoe is super comfortable and lightweight. I have high arches and a medium width foot and my feet never hurt, not even after a 12 hour shift. I'm not big on the mesh appearance but it's worth the sacrifice. I'm told some Merrells run a little small and, in fact, a different pair of Merrells I purchased were too small in a size 8. These fit perfectly though. I will never buy a different shoe. I just hope they don't stop making it!

This is my shoe of choice. Amazing support and comfort for a slip-on. Versatile style suits skirts or pants and perfect for hot weather. I just purchased my 3rd pair. I'm so glad they have kept the style going for several years. Toss them in the wash and they dry very quickly. Definitely 5 stars.

I loved these shoes. They were very comfortable and kept my feet from hurting after a shift in the pharmacy (all day standing). Sadly, the soles wore down to the upper after a year. I wish I had replaced them instead of buying a pair of Klogs. Other pharmacists complimented me on the shoe, but my husband said they looked frumpy...which is what led me astray to Klogs. Anyway, I still highly recommend them, and when the Klogs wear out, I will buy Merrill once more.

I bought these for spring color; I have them in dark blue and have worn them all winter at work. New color is great and of course equally comfortable; I am on my feet all day as an R.N.

I love this shoe. My concern was how to clean it, so I called Merrell. "Hand wash with lukewarm water and mild detergent," was my answer. I still have a pair of black Encore Novas that I have worn regularly for probably 6 years, the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. Bought the Nova in brown, and the Breeze in Beige Mesh.

This is my second pair of the Breeze will eventually have them in every color! I am a nurse and am on my feet for 18 hours at a time...no problem with these shoes! I usually wear between a 9 and 9.5. The 9 is perfect for me. Do not hesitate!

This is a very comfortable shoe - not as stylish looking on the foot as I usually like - but better than a sneaker & as comfortable as a pair of slippers! Plus, the arch makes them shoes you could walk in and without a break-in period. I purchased these to take on a European vacation this summer. I expect they will be a good go-to choice for when my feet need a break from the more stylish looking sandals I will also pack!

Being a nurse I am on my feet for 12 hours straight and usually never time to sit. The Merrell Encore Breeze has made my work day go much better with less discomfort from constant abuse. I'm sold!

These shoes were nice, but too big for me. They had a little support, but not much cushioning at all. I guess if they had had both, I might have gotten another size, but instead I'm looking at other kinds.

I bought these as a gift for my daughter who is a new nurse and on her feet many many hours a day. It is always hard to purchase shoes for someone else. However, she wore them the first day and wrote me they were awesome. I took a chance because of the reputation of Zappos and the free return policy. This particular style was recommended by Dr. Oz.

My feet have to be comfortable or I'm a bear. Merrells have done that for me even when my feet needed orthotic help! I could wear these shoes without these inserts for several hours. Plus I had been looking for this specific shoe & lo & behold I found it on this unusual named web site. Right size, color & the last pair available!

They are very comfortable, long lasting. I wear them daily and this was my sixth pair. Zappos is wonderful, they take returns with no problem. I will continue to use Zappos for my shoes.

I had foot surgery on both feet and have had no luck finding comfortable shoes, until I purchased a pair of these locally. I've literally worn these shoes out! I walk dogs professionally and my feet never hurt. I purchased a pair of the winter style (sheepskin lining) and they are so warm I don't even need socks. These are the best affordable shoes I have ever worn. Highly recommend these for everyone.

I recently purchased my second pair of the Encore Breeze because I've completely worn out my first pair. These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned and I have a very difficult foot to fit (size 11!). I highly recommend these shoes and Zappos.

This is my fourth purchase of the Encore Breeze. My hospital job requires many hours of standing. And, I wear orthotic inserts. The Encore Breeze allows for this and keeps my legs & feet comfortable all day & all evening long.

These shoes run large. I started with a 9 which is my normal size and exchanged them for an 8 1/2. Still too large. Hoping an 8 will do the job.

I'm happy to share my total satisfaction with Zappos. I've made purchases from Zappos a number of times and have always been extremely satisfied with the service and the terrific professionalism with their telephone representatives. My latest purchase, the clogs by Merrill are absolutely wonderful. I wear them practically all the time and plan soon to order another pair.

I have owned several pairs of these in the past. They wore very well. However, I just purchased a pair in black and the leather around the edges cracked soon after. (This never happened with my older pairs.) Very disappointing as these shoes are so comfortable.
