I wear these shoes all the time around the house. They are comfortable as slippers but can also go outside. I bought this pair to wear on an overseas trip. They work great for going through security at the airport since they just slip on and off.

I needed a lightweight, comfortable shoe that I could wear on a trip where it was going to be warm and I was going to do a lot of walking. I have other Merrell clogs and they are super comfortable. I was happy with this shoe, but for some reason it wasn't quite as comfortable as the others I have. The others are leather rather than the mesh, so that may be the reason. The footbed is very supportive and great for walking. The only problem I had is that I have a high instep and the binding was a little snug across the top of my foot after my feet swelled up from the heat and walking. I'm pretty happy with them, but can't wear them all day like I can my other Merrell clogs. If I were doing it again, I might get half a size larger.

Having just read the New Yorker article about Zappos, it confirms the techniques Zappos uses to insure customer satisfaction. produce reviews is one.\r\n\r\nI am a Merrell enthusiast. I have another model in 7 colors. Although i gave up clogs which stretched and became dangerous for ankles that are not strong, this new Merrell Encore Breeze is comfortable, not likely to stretch. At the end of the afternoon, however, the stiffness does make me take them off and switch to something softer like my other Merrell\'s or uggs!

They ran a whole size bigger so took 3 tries, but you all make it easy to exchange. Have worn this style for years; very comfortable. They are my "go-to" house shoes. Easy to slip on & off, but give good support.

I love these shoes, but they run wide. I wish they came in a narrow width. They are so comfortable with lots of support. I can wear mine if I wear thick socks, but otherwise they are too wide.

I bought these in ivory and black. For some strange reason, the black were about half a size too big. I exchanged them and the second pair was true to size. Not as comfortable as supportive as the Merrell Chill, but still an excellent casual shoe that looks great with jeans or slacks.

My new everyday shoes -
I had really tired feet, (after a trip of wearing heels for a week) so I ordered these, hoping they'd be super comfy. When the box arrived (the next day!) I put them on my feet, where they've pretty much stayed the past couple weeks. I wish they had more arch support, but otherwise, really comfy - not super comfy, but enough. I wear them barefoot, and my feet tend to sweat, so I sprinkle some powder in them. I'll wear them all summer.

I bought the winter version of the Encore in September and found them to be very cozy and warm. I am a medium width with flat feet (wear orthotics, but not in clogs) and I usually cannot keep clogs on my feet unless there is a strap (Dansko) across the instep. But because the Encores were lined with real sheep's fur, the fit was fine...great. So, I decided to try the summer Breeze. I ordered an 8.5 (the others were a 9) and they fit okay with socks...but barefoot they were big...I am returning these. Also, I figured that the light-weight fabric would stretch quite a bit...and if I order these again, I would drop to a size 8. However, if you need support like I do, you might be better off ordering the smooth leather style as I think the shoe would hold its shape better. Merrell has a very good heel and sole...surprisingly supportive for feet like mine! I just purchased a second pair of the Merrell Ventilator (size 9) and these I can wear with my orthotics because they run wide.

I read other reviews before I ordered, and so I ordered both my usual size, and a half size smaller. I found, as did many others, that this shoe runs large and wide. It is comfortable though.

Mom Likes Them -
These are the only shoes my 73-year old mom will wear year round. She has some foot issues and these are the only shoes that will fit her comfortably and accommodate her orthotics.

Too bad this doesn't have a tuck-away good hood for the rain! Otherwise, it would be something really useful.

Well made and comfortable -
I wore these shoes all over a recent trip to Africa. We did a lot of walking, all types of terrain, and for a mule, slip on shoe, I thought it did remarkable well. Plus, it was easy to slip on and off going through airport security. They are a little wide but quite comfortable.

Good support, a little short -
I like this clog. I think I should have gotten it a 1/2 size longer, as my toes on one foot hit the end when I am walking. I find it OK for work, where I walk from one exam room to another. But for walking several blocks downtown, it is a little short on my stupid slightly bigger left foot!

Love the look and comfort... Merrells are the best. However, without the choice of a narrow, buyer note that these tend to stretch a bit wider soon after you start wearing them. If you usually wear a narrow, you'll probably need a thicker sock when wearing them.

For the price I thought this would be a more comfortable shoe and it feels a bit roomy. I cannot get the next smaller size as that would be too short. I would not purchase this shoe again.

Next Best to Sneakers - These shoes can accommodate my custom sports orthotics that were made to fit my sneakers. They're supportive and very comfortable!

Reviewer: Birmingham, Alabama -
I ordered the Encore Breeze in black and I'm very pleased with the shoes. I have tremendous foot problems and find it very difficult to find anything that is comfortable. I wear an 8, but ordered the 7.5 based on other reviewers. The shoe is light weight, looks great and is so comfortable. I will definitely order this shoe in other colors (I hope they come out with a dark brown for the fall/winter). I was so impressed with Zappos. I ordered these shoes last night at 10:00 p.m. and when I got home from work this afternoon the shoes were waiting for me, and I did not request any type of special delivery. Talk about fast service - GREAT JOB ZAPPOS!

A nice, light weight shoe that provides good support. I wear them all day in the arena and around the barn. The only drawback is that they're very porous. The sand filters in and my feet are filthy. But they're also cooler. Trade-offs. Bought it first in wine, but it was too pink for me...was then able to get it in slate, and that was a lovely color. Merrells aren't a pretty shoe in my size, but they're comfortable. These were a little narrower than my leather Merrell clogs.

An Encore for Merrell's Breeze -
I had purchased Merrell's Breeze in navy several years ago. They were so comfortable and versatile, looking great with jeans, slacks, and sporty skirts that I had tried to find them in other colors...finally Merrell gave the Breeze an ENCORE and I have purchased two more pair in black and tan. They are cut a little wide but that works out well in the hot summer months. The fabric breathes so cool comfort is what you get with these shoes. Leave it to Zappos to make these available once again.

Versatile and not bad looking -
I highly recommend this shoe for travelers who need a shoe that looks a little nicer than sneakers or walking shoes, but want something very comfortable that provides support. It is a very light shoe and can be used for light hiking as well. You can wear these shoes with pants and/or a skirt and although they are not dress shoes by any means, they do look fine for an evening out. I wear these on my daily commute (when I have to run for the train and/or bus) and I sometimes don't even bother changing them to heels at work. If you go for comfort and lightweight shoes, I would highly recommend.

These are so comfortable. Not the most beautiful shoe, but I'm very happy with the quality and support.

Great service from Zappos -
Love the comfort of Merrell shoes. I have others. This style for some reason has a peculiar smell. My last "Encore" was the same smell. That's my only complaint.

A little big -
Really like this shoe. I ordinarily wear and 10, but had to return for a 9 1/2. Otherwise, great.

Good shoe...could be a little better.
I love the Merrell brand and am so glad Zappos carries it now! Yay!
I originally ordered this in an 11, but exchanged it for a 10.5. When you have a clog, a really good fit is a must. For me, this shoe could have a little more arch support (I am picky about this. If you usually like "moderate" arch support, I think you'll be happy...if you have a high arch don't expect a miracle). It is a lightweight shoe that is solidly built. There is not much structure on the front of the shoe, which allows for breath ability, but also makes your foot look a bit...fat.
I think this is a good "go-to" shoe when running out to do errands and whatnot. Casual but not sloppy.

I am disappointed with these Merrell Mesh clogs. I have nearly worn out my last pair. They old ones are the same size and very similar to both the Encore Breeze and Encore Breeze II, but the fit and comfort are not what I hoped or expected. I remember loving the fit of the original pair from the first time I put them on. Not so with the newer versions. Sigh!
