What you see is what you get. Easy slip-on, comfortable, and easy to slide inserts into them. At first a little tight on the top, but now it's just fine.

These shoes have become my favorite indoor shoes, so comfortable, I forget that I am wearing them. If they didn't run a little larger than expected, they would be my go shopping shoes, as well.

Great shoe. I wear somewhere between an 8 and 8 1/2. Bought the size 8 and it fits perfectly. Very, very comfortable. I'm not sure if they are water resistant. Doesn't rain much here. By the way, the arch support is excellent.

Not a bad shoe. I wanted to replace my heavy work Dansko's with something that would be as light and comfortable as my Fitflops but with more support. This shoe is okay for normal wear, but I will continue to look for a 13 hour shift backless shoe. Again, any non-working day, I would wear these, but I don't mix my work shoe with my everyday shoes.

I have admired this shoe for quite a while but was hesitant to buy it because it doesn\'t come in wide widths. However, I decided to purchase it based on one of the other reviews, and I was delighted to find that the 8.5 fits my wide feet just fine. It is a very comfortable shoe to wear without socks, no rough edges to chafe you. The only downside is it is a bit sweaty in hot weather.

I have stubborn corns under both of my small toes in addition to bunions on both big toes. Always searching for a comfortable, versatile shoe that's not a sneaker. These shoes are super comfy, easy to slip on and off. I find them more comfy with socks than without. They look good with anything casual. The only thing which is a bit tricky is when I try to walk up a steep ramp, they tend to fall off my feet. Other than that, they are great! Oh, and they crease easily at the toe.

I love these shoes. I needed a comfortable shoe that offers some support and these fit the bill. I keep a pair in my office and a pair to wear around my house. They are extremely comfortable.

I have mixed feelings about these shoes. On the one hand they offer superior sole padding for shock aborbency, but on the other hand they have a rather unpleasant texture to the inside fabric, which makes for a sweaty shoe. You feel the webbing that you see on the exterior of the shoe, and it gets clammy fast (but I am in 90 degree weather). Yet the shoes are comfortable and sturdy. I still think they are worth having.

My foot is wide and I have an extremely high in-step. Its difficult to find shoes which fit right and are comfortable. For the most part, this shoe is comfortable. It is a little tight across the top of my foot and even though the top material is mesh, it still warms up pretty quickly. But, I like them well enough to keep them.

Love these shoes - got them in three colors. Comfortable, packable, walkable. Only negative: found that my feet get hot in them when the weather isn't cold. Wonder if anyone else has experienced this? Other than that, all is good!

These shoes are very comfortable, cradling my feet well. They have quite an odor of glue, etc. fresh out of the box! It dissipates. I have worn similar shoes made by Ecco before, but they quit making them. These were my next option, and so far they are nice but not quite the quality of Ecco to me.

These are very comfortable and I stand most of my work day in them. They go with just about anything. They are light, so I can walk all day wearing them.

I had seen a woman wearing these on vacation, and she raved about how comfortable they were. I hated the thought of trying to locate them in the stores, but found them on Zappos. They arrived within a few days. They are great! Very comfortable, good arch support. My only complaint is that because they are rubber insoles, my feet sweat.

This shoe is very comfortable and very convenient to slide off and on. My kids have expressed their distaste with the style, but they don't have to wear them. I have other Merrell's and these are not quite as cushy, but they work great to run errands.

These shoes are light weight, feel comfortable and look sporty. Sometimes when I'm wearing a capri length pant or leggings. I look down at my feet and I think they look 'clunky'. I didn't send them back because I do like what they look like with warm-ups. As the weather gets cooler, I know I will get more wear out of them.

These are the best looking Merrell shoes I've had and I've had many styles. However they aren't good if you have a high instep. Merrell keeps discontinuing my favorites because they don't look as good (I surmise) as these. The best now for high instep people is Encore Groove. I'm glad to see they've come out with a summer version this year (2010). The Mary Janes are good too, but not for people with bunions. If you don't have a high instep, this is your shoe.

Light and airy clogs with a non-slip sole. The fit, however, is best for those with wide feet. I had trouble finding a pair to fit my rather narrow feet and wound up taking 1/2 size smaller, which are a bit too short.

Shoes are very cool and comfortable however I consider the width of my feet to be medium and these seem a bit bigger than I've been accustomed to in the past. I don't think it will be a problem however I thought all would be interested.

These are very comfortable and good for walking. I usually wear a 5.5 but needed a 5 in these. I am looking forward to being cool in them all summer due to the mesh upper. They have a little bit of an old lady, support shoe appearance, not the shoe for you if you want to look sexy!

I have this shoe in several colors, which tells you I like it a lot. It is very comfortable and easy to take on and off. It can be a little wide, but I usually end up wearing it with a light sock.

I find this shoe to be quite comfortable, but if I have to be on my feet all day, I would choose a different shoe with more arch support.

I have not worn these more than around the house yet, but they are pretty comfortable shoes so far. The style may not appeal to all but you can tell that by looking at it. I need easy on/off, basic shoes for travel and am hoping these will be comfortable for the long periods of time walking in airports, etc. I have thin feet and the width seems good to me but I don't want them to feel tight.

These Merrell's size 9 fit like a glove, literally. I don't think I'd be able to wear anything but the thinnest sock with these, although since they're slip-ons, you probably wouldn't wear socks with them anyway. The downside is they do make your feet sweat a bit; they're made of mesh on top, but it's lined, so your feet don't really breathe the way you'd expect. But overall, a good shoe for slipping into quickly and wearing around the house.
