Customer Reviews Merrell Plaza Bandeau

Loved these! Another shoe that I walked to death living in Chicago!

These shoes are really cute! I bought the ones in taupe and I love the way they look and they feel wonderful. They are very comfortable!

Love these shoes, I wear a size 5 1/2, so it's not always to find cute/comfy shoes. But Merrell is a go to brand.

Really like this one, would recommend and buy again in the future. After one year, still like new! I usually wear size 6 but bought this in 6.5.

I love these shoes! Comfortable, stylish yet practical if you are doing a lot of walking. Very true to size. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a shoe that functions like a good walking shoe but has more style than the usual walker.

These shoes are just what I was looking for to use for work. I work in a casual office, with a hollow wood floor, so the rubber soles allow me to move around without clunking all day long. They fit fairly true to size. My only complaint is that they were a tiny bit tight across the top when I first got them, but after a few wearings, this loosened up. Look great with pants or skirts if you are OK with a slightly more casual look, or for commuting.

These shoes are extremely comfortable right out of the box. Needed comfortable, supportive, versatile shoes for work in a professional environment that feel like but don't look like my athletic shoes. These fit the bill perfectly. They look nice with dress pants, leggings, and skirts. Highly recommended.

I love these shoes! They are so comfortable, and I can wear them for hours on my feet without my feet hurting. I bought them to wear for conventions, and they are perfect... plus, the soles are no-skid, and the uppers are sturdy, so they are good for all weather, too. I am considering buying a couple more pairs in different styles/colors.

I have chronic knee and hip problems (had one hip replaced 2 yrs ago) but have been able to cut my use of my cane in half because of Merrells, especially the sole on this model. The same sole comes on the Plaza Emme and another model. The cushioning and support all around your foot are outstanding. These are the only non-athletic shoes to give me such comfort. And Zappo\....well, they are just the best in customer service. Zappos and Merrells get my vote all the way around.

This is my first pair of Merrill shoes and they are wonderful! I have a high arch and instep, which makes finding a comfortable pair of shoes difficult. I took the advice of other reviewers and ordered a half size up, and they fit perfectly. The first time I put them on, I wore them for 10 hours without blisters or aching legs and back. I will definitely try other Merrill shoes! Also, Zappos is a wonderful place to buy shoes. I placed my order one day, and my shoes arrived the next afternoon - with standard shipping! Zappos, you rock!

This is the second pair of the Merrell Plaza Bandeau shoes that I've bought. They are as comfortable and stylishly casual (and casually stylish) as the first pair. The brown on this pair is a rich color, much nicer than pictured here. My first pair is black, and they've worn well over the year I've had them. I bought the second pair just so I'd have some color variety.

This is my second pair of these shoes. I've had the black/grey pair for over a year and they are SO VERY comfortable. I get a lot of compliments on them. The brown pair is equally comfortable and stylish.

Love this shoe! It is very comfortable with a cushy sole, so walking around the city in these is a breeze. Plus, the slight heel is nice for my pants that are a little long for flats. (I hate it when my pants drag or touch the ground when it's wet out because all the water soaks up the pant leg). I'd have to say my only gripe is the toe box. It has plenty of room laterally but is slightly shallow height wise. What I mean is my big toe angles up slightly and if the toe box in shoes is too shallow, then my nail hits the top of the shoe and it bruises my toenails. Make sense? Anyway, they are great but just a teeny, tiny bit shallow in the toe box. I found most people don't have that problem...

I love these shoes and this is probably my 6th pair I have purchased over the years! I initially purchased them as a comfortable work shoe. I loved them so much that I wear them all the time. I had to get extra pairs in other colors (same style). Great shoe & made very well. Happy to see Zappos carried the style. I had a successful transaction with Zappos & will use them again!

These are wonderful shoes. I have a new baby and wanted something that would be very comfortable for long walks, but would still look more urban than running shoes. The Plaza Bandeau shoes have so far been perfect. I walk several miles a day in them and have had no problems at all. The slip-on styling is also great for getting out the door quickly with an impatient baby! I think that Merrell sizing tends to run a little big. I tried my regular size and a half-size down in these shoes, and it was the smaller pair that fit better.

Cute looking shoes and comfortable. I especially like the heel height; I don't like flat shoes. I usually wear a 7, but I purchased these in a 7 1/2 because my toes hit in the 7 and I need to wear thick socks with them. They look great with jeans and patterned socks although you could wear them with casual pants as well.

I love these shoes; I needed a versatile shoe for long days on my feet and potentially adverse weather, and I couldn't be happier. I got the espresso, and they are super-cute, they look great with fun socks or tights. No breaking in necessary. I am on my feet in an animal ER for 10+ hours at a time, and they provide great support and comfort as well as traction galore. I've worn them on pretty long hikes because I'm silly, and they came out of it none too worse the wear, as did my feet! I can wear them for work or play, and get a lot of compliments. I have numerous orthopedic problems and often feel achy after a day's work, even with orthotics in, but not with these shoes. I am now a Merrell devotee. I normally wear a 9, give or take a 1/2 size, and I almost wish I'd gotten these in an 8.5 instead, although the slight roominess allows for me to wear thick hiking socks or warm wool socks comfortably. Arch support seems like it would be good for most people, but I have insanely high arches and have never found shoes that fully supported them. I practically never take them off!
