I love my new Merrells! I wanted easy slip on shoes for just zipping outside, I wanted comfort, and I think they look very cool (great colors). They're lightweight, too, which was a nice surprise. I wear them all the time. I'm not sure I would wear them for long walks, but it may just be a matter of getting used to the recessed backs.

I bought these shoes for an upcoming trip to Europe where I will be walking a lot. I usually wear a 6 or a 6.5 and I ordered the 6 in these and they fit perfectly. I found that these shoes required no break in time. They are so comfortable that I don't want to take them off. I got them in black and I was very happy with that. For years I wore Dansko clogs and I like these a lot better. They don't hurt my feet at all. I have found a new favorite shoe.

This is the second pair of Merrell Encore Breeze shoes I have had and they are very comfortable. I have problems with my feet, and other than athletic shoes, the Merrell Encore Breeze are the only other shoes I wear. I have the black and now the navy and have had compliments from other people on how nice they look. They are also very durable.

I have been wearing a pair of these around the house for years. They are comfy, easy to get in and out of and are great outdoors. I also got a pair for my 88 year old mother in law because it is hard for her to bend down to tie shoes and she needs something that is supportive and non slip. She wears them all the time.

Great shoes! I wear the Primo Chills in the winter and wanted something cooler for summer. I have a lot of foot problems and an orthotic fits in this well, too. Granted, it's not a gorgeous/fashion shoe, but it's comfortable!

I love these Merrell Encore Breeze shoes---in fact they are the only shoes I am wearing this summer. They are light with great arch support and the toe box provides plenty of room for my arthritic toes. I bought the 8 1/2 and they fit perfectly after an hour or so. I usually wear a 9 in other Merrells but the Encore Breeze stretches more and seems to mold to the shape of your foot. Zappos please keep plenty of this great shoe in stock!!

This the second time I have ordered from Zappos and I wonder why I don’t do it more often. This last time when I bought a pair of Merrells, they did not have another color so I ordered from Zappos and it ended up being almost cheaper because I did not have to pay the tax plus an extra county tax. I should have bought both pairs from Zappos! Merrells are built for busy women. They have a wide comfy toe box and they balance you on your heel and help you keep your posture aligned properly.

I love this shoe. I practically live in it, and have it in several colors. It is so comfy and supportive it spoils you for wearing anything else.

I actually bought these for my Mom, but I do have a pair, which is why I bought them for my Mom. I love these shoes, they are so comfortable. I was looking for a comfortable, stretchy shoe to accommodate my ever growing pregnancy feet - these shoes totally fit the bill. I can wear these shoes all day and they stretch to accommodate my feet as they swell during the day. Also, I can walk for miles in these shoes, comfortably. My Mom loves them as well. I would highly recommend these shoes to anyone who is looking for a comfortable shoe. Oh and no issue with my foot slipping out of the back, which I have had with other shoes. My foot is securely in the shoe. I can't really comment on size because my foot size is all over the place right now.

If you're looking for a shoe that is lightweight and airy yet can allow you to stand on your feet all day, then this might be the shoe for you. The ability to easily slip them on and off is a plus. I LOVE my Merrells - all of them. I have them in many styles. The Encore Breeze is one of my favorites.

They were a gift to my 89 year old mother, who loves them. She says they are so comfortable and the air breezes right through them to keep her feet cool, and it gets 115 here in the Sacramento Valley.

I have worn Merrell's for several years and the Encore Breeze is my favorite style. It accommodates custom orthotics and is comfortable and supportive. I like the color choices and the beige was my latest choice. Good color for summer for those who don't want white.

I love these shoes! Very comfortable. Great for hot southern weather. Bought them for an ailing hip and plantar fasciitis. Have been able to walk further for longer. Would not accommodate my orthotics, but the built in support seems sufficient. May have to buy more. I bought a pair of Propet Naples Walkers at the same time. I've had trouble with the Propet Naples Walkers cutting into the back of my heel and the top of my foot. And though they accommodate my orthotics (went up a size), they are too tight to wear comfortably. Also, the Propet have a leather tear-drop shaped overlay in the heel that is uncomfortable while wearing barefooted. May feel better with socks. If deciding between the Propet Naples Walkers and the Merrell Encore Breeze. I'd recommend the Merrells.

Comfortable, light-weight shoe -
This shoe is fantastic. It is very light weight and has great air flow for my feet. However, it also has great support and is comfortable if you have to stand on your feet for hours. It's one of my favorite shoes.

Fabulous shoes! I have worn Merrell shoes before, but only winter styles (i.e., fleece-lined). A few days ago, I decided I needed some new summer shoes, so ordered these. Well, less than two days later, they were here. My husband and I once again remarked on Zappos’ "Psychic Shoe Delivery Service", as they are always seemingly here before we even knew we had planned on ordering them; delivery is so fast! My feet breathed a sigh of comfort as I slipped these shoes on The next day I wore them to work, spending over six hours on my feet. Other than getting a bit warm after about four hours on a nearly 90 degree day, they were totally comfortable. As for the heat, all I did was slip my feet out of them for a minute and they were back to being as cool and comfortable as ever. When I got home, I had no blisters, sore spots, or any points where I felt pressure. I would highly recommend these. I will likely buy another pair.

My Merrell Breeze are without a doubt the most comfortable shoes. I am 51 yrs. of age and suffer many foot problems from another bunion to heel spurs and now a neuroma from the years of working on concrete floors. The breeze being a slip-on and the incredible padded foot bed are the shoes of all shoes!!! No pressure anywhere, they simply mold to your feet. I praise merrell for relief and making my work life a lot easier!!!

soft spots before the tumor on a nerve (neuroma) were very comfortable. the shoe strings were aggravating the foot problem.

The Merrell Encore Breeze and the Merrell Encore Adams Breeze (has a full heel) are spectacularly comfortable. I can walk in them for hours, I can work out in them (they offer solid support), and I can wear them without socks if I need to. They are amazingly lightweight, so excellent for travel. I got them in black and in taupe. Great product, and as always, fabulous service from Zappos.

Zappos service is the best -
I like the shoe; it's a little "croc" like for me but very comfortable and perfect for spring/fall weather when you're not quite ready for sandals. My main praise would be the customer service I received from Zappos! I did not like the first color I bought so wanted to exchange. I got the new pair before I even thought about sending in the return and everything was just so seamless and easy. I won't order from anywhere else but I would love it if you could offer more vegan styles/brands!!!

Comfort all day and night -
This is my 4th pair of the Merrell Encore Breeze. I ordered early this year, because supplies seem to run out early. A few years ago I persuaded my husband to get a pair - he had only worn loafers or tie shoes. He loved them - and now owns three or four pairs! They are the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. Also great for travel - just slip off at the security check!

Merrell loafers and the Merrell Spire series.

Merrell shoes are great!
I love these shoes for work! They are lightweight and comfortable; I'm on my feet a lot during the day and need scuff-free shoes (hospital). Easy to slip on and off and the mesh upper keeps feet cool.

Fantastic Shoe -
I have had a hard time finding comfortable shoes, besides sneakers. I tried these shoes in a size 8 (I wear usually an 8 in shoes, an 8 1/2 in boots and a 9 in sneakers). I also have a wide foot. Based on the other reviews (the shoe runs big), I ordered an 8 and it fits perfectly! So comfortable and cute. My 7 year old daughter thought they were pretty!

Walked all over Italy in comfort -
My new Merrell's Encore Breeze did not feel like a new pair of shoes. From the first day of our 2 week trip my new shoes felt great. We experienced all types of weather and my feet stayed dry when the weather wasn't so pleasant. The fit was perfect, a true size 5 which is hard for me to find in local stores. The shoes were not only comfortable but looked nice with casual pants and even dressier ones. I recommend these Merrels to anyone looking for a great pair of shoes for walking and site-seeing all day.

Merrell's clogs -- all of them -- are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn. I like the breeze especially because it isn't leather. (I try to avoid products made from animals. Not easy!)

I usually find 10's too small and eleven's too big. Ordered 10 1/2 and found slightly short. I kept though and have been walking 2 miles every night in them. Extremely comfortable...just have to shove my foot down in them. Wish I'd ordered 1/2 size larger.

Merrell Encore Breeze -
I put these on new and went shopping. No problems! I usually buy Merrells because I have rheumatoid arthritis in my feet. Even tape my toes together. These are light and actually decrease the pain in some of the joints. I love them!!! Very true to size and super comfortable!!
