Most comfortable shoe ever! I have to stand for many hours at work and I generally like Merrell's but this shoe is better than any shoe I have ever had. It's super light weight, the top mesh allows the foot to breathe and at the same time you get the best arch support . I have had a foot problem for many years...my feet have always hurt at the end of my workday. I have almost forgotten what it was like to have pain free feet until I got this shoe. I can stand for 12 hours easily without pain.

This is my second pair of navy Merrell Encore Breeze shoes. They go with anything casual; jeans, shorts or crops. I have the same shoe style in different colors.

Thanks for a great shoe! With this shoe, no packing tennies when I travel. I don\'t look like such a dork tourist and can walk all day in them.

I love this shoe! I have it in many colors and keep buying it. It is the most comfortable shoe, can dress up or dress down. I keep my old pairs for gardening shoes. I was disappointed with the bamboo color - also, it was measurably larger than my other pairs, although it was the same size (a 9). It might be the bamboo color? I am going to order a different color and hope it is sized down. Thanks Zappos for carrying this style!

This is my second pair of this particular style, the first being in a tweed-type fabric. The Breeze is, in fact, a breeze. Wore them right out of the box to walk the Freedom Trail in Boston, and cool and comfy as could be. True to size. Love them!

My podiatrist recommended these because I love to be bare foot and my feet were killing. I love these. They are supportive and comfortable and I really like them! My feet feel better too.

I first came across these while on a long road trip, and within a day, they felt wonderful, and I could remove the footbed and insert my orthodic. Since then, I wore out the original pair and now own three more. I look on here constantly, as I fear they will go away. I wear them into winter and put them back on again as soon as the snow melt allows. This is a fine product and a good value. As mentioned somewhere among these reviews, although they are medium width, because of the fabric of which they are made, they accommodate my wide food within a few wearings.

This is a great lightweight, casual warm weather shoe but definitely not "breezy" due to the lining. I find it can be worn comfortably for long periods of time as the Q-Form technology definitely helps with the back and knees, and it does not require any break-in period. I usually wear a 5.5 in Merrells closed-toe slides (I have a medium-wide foot and the width of this shoe is perfect for me) but had to order this shoe three times before I found a pair that fit. With the first 5.5 I ordered one shoe felt a little big and the other was overly large. I then ordered a 5 elsewhere, but it was too small. The second 5.5 I ordered from Zappos fit perfectly. Thanks goodness for their great customer service!

These shoes are just wonderful. They're so comfortable. They're easy to clean off if a spot should get on them and they dry quickly when they get wet. Furthermore, in the warm weather your feet stay relatively cool in them.

I love these shoes. I usually take a size 11 but the 10.5 is perfect. The insole comes out and I can put in my orthotics.

Zappos has great service! This is a very good shoe for me as I have major foot problems. Merrell has proven to be a great shoe in most styles, except in the Encore MJ which is too wide for my foot - can't seem to get it tight enough - opens up at the sides when walking. The Encore Breeze mule is the best! I don't think you'll be disappointed (especially if you have foot problems as I have).

Walked 10K without socks. Good support and very comfortable. Great for air travel because slip on and off easily at security checks. Will wear with socks in winter.

Perfect spring-summer casual shoe, at least for the NW. Comfy foot bed, good traction on wet surfaces, easy on/easy off. I have it in beige; I like that the bottom part of the shoe is not bright white, but more of a beige - makes it more neutral. I wear an 8 and ordered an 8, perfect fit. I love the Merrell fur-lined suede clog; this fits just like that one. If you want more arch support, I think there's room for a thin orthotic. My feet get a tiny bit clammy in them - kind of like a traditional sneaker, but it's not that bad. Get some!

The Merrell Encore Breeze is a very comfortable, lightweight, supportive shoe that allows me to walk long distances in without sore feet! I measure a 7.5 but found that size to be too loose. The size 7 fits snug; a better fit for walking. Zappos makes it very easy to return items.

I have the winter version of these clogs and they\'re great for walking the dog, puttering around the yard, etc. Not exactly high fashion, but oh so comfortable and easy with great support!

These shoes are fantastic. Instantly comfortable - no breaking in needed. I bought these for a trip to NY where I would be walking 10+ miles a day. I started wearing them 2 days before the trip. No time was needed to break them in. They are overall lose fitting so there is no rubbing that causes blisters. These shoes are a bit pricey and I\'m pretty frugal and think they are worth every penny.

This is my second pair in this color. I wore the first pair out. Use them from late Spring to early Fall and then switch to black ones. Generally, my feet are seldom 'happy', but these Merrells sure are soothing.

Took me a while to figure out if this shoe was supposed to fit firmly around the heel, or flip like a clog. After exchanging 8.5s for 8s, I realized they flip. On me, anyway. Once I got used to that, I grew crazy about these shoes. My only complaint is that I walk 2.25 miles one way to work in them, and on hot days, the backs stick a little and wear blisters on to my left heel (that foot's a little bigger than the right). But, all in all, fantastic!

In addition to all the other great feedback, you can wash them in the dishwasher (without the dishes of course). Wash only, air dry. It helps keep them fresh in the summer!

I have terrible plantar fasciitis and these are the only shoes I can wear without pain. They are truly incredible. Every time I wear another shoe the pain is terrible, but when I wear these for even just a few hours, the pain is totally gone!

I have 3 pairs of these, in 3 different colors. They stay new-looking (all of mine are at least 1 year old), remain extremely comfortable even for all-day walking and standing, and I highly recommend them. I am on my feet at work all day, and I travel for pleasure as well. I walked all extensively on sandy and uneven surfaces in Egypt and Jordan recently and these Merrells held up and still looked great!
