Customer Reviews Merrell Jungle Moc

I was really hoping I would love thse, after reading all the great reviews. However, I'm returning them for two reasons. 1) The shoe pressed up against my right ankle bone and caused tremendous pain shooting up the side of my calf. I only tried them on for 2-3 minutes, but the pain in my ankle and up my leg lasted HOURS! 2) It's kinda hard to describe, but these felt unstable to me. Like, my feet were sitting high in the shoe, and the tread was oddly high, as well. It felt like they could tip and I would roll an ankle. I have several pairs of Merrell mules and hiking boots and I love the brand - quality and fit. But these were a big NO for me.

I was looking for a comfortable yet sturdy shoe that might work for travel that wasn’t an athletic shoe. The jungle moc had consistent good reviews and I think merrell shoes fit me well. These are okay..maybe they’ll be great the more I wear them. They’re a pull on shoe which is always a challenge for someone with a very high instep…and they’re very heavy, so I probably won’t be taking them for travel since I pack a single carryon for any international travel and they would take up too much space and weight. Otherwise, I like anything suede, it just has more give than leather. Like most people, one foot is slightly larger/wider than the other making the fit loose and tight at the same time. Also, not sure if the tongue will bother my instep. For everyday walking, the shoe will probably be fine…

Not bad but not great get tight on my feet after wearing them a while

Overall, good shoe, nice support. Just a bit too small & narrow for me.

I ideally would wear a N, but M width is usually fine in shoes without a low. Oddly these slip right off when taking a step even though I tried both my normal size and a 1/2 size down. Maybe its because of the elastic.

I had this exact style years ago and loved them. I finally had to get rid of them because I wore them out. I decided to try the Jungle Moc again, but unhappily, my feet were not happy this time. The 6.5W fit well, but I found the arch too much for my feet. Both feet felt as if they had rocks directly under the arch. My feet were hurting within a minute. I have more recently been wearing a lot more zero balance shoes, so perhaps this "arch on steroids" in the Merrell Jungle Moc just isn't for me anymore. Had to return (also returned Size 7 & Size 7W - wasn't sure if I was still 6.5 or 7 in this style, but the 6.5 was a perfect fit).

I am normally a size 9, occasionally an 8.5. I went by the reviews that said they fit true to size, so I ordered my normal size 9, and they were too large so had to return them. I wanted to reorder in an 8.5, but I couldn't find a discount coupon for the reorder like I had used for the original order, so checked Amazon. And their price (for the 8.5) was actually less than the discounted price at Zappos. So I ordered them from Amazon, and the 8.5 fit perfectly. They are extremely comfortable and stay on the foot easily with plenty of top coverage. I bought them mostly for walking the dogs, especially in wet weather. I'm not sure they are completely slip proof on wet pavement, so will need to use caution. Overall, I am very happy with them.

After trying a couple of other brands, settled here. Fits great at my usual size, moderate support with good traction. I had really wanted the same slide I'd been wearing for about six years, but unfortunately it was discontinued. This Merrell is a close second, happy with them!

Looked good just too small.
