The back HEEL of the shoe comes up waaaAAAaaay too high and rubs on the back of my ankle. I got blisters the first time I wore it. I won't buy a second pair, though they look fabulous on my big feet.

Not that great!
It’s badly designed; your feet are pushed towards the front leaving a large gap in the back. The brown color is more like an olive-greenish brown and it doesn’t match nicely with any brown pants. It’s ok with Jeans.

Mostly happy with them.
The shoe looks blacker in the picture. I wish they were blacker in person. I am a size 10.5 but have a very hard time finding them, so the size 11 are a bit big (socks help). This might be why my foot slides forward in them which causes them to rub across the top and rub my heel as I walk, but no blisters have formed and I have worn them for 10 hour work days. The soles are safe for winter walking.

I purchased these shoes because I knew I would be doing a lot of walking while visiting my daughter for Parent\'s Weekend (Boulder, Co). They started out great- but after walking for 1/2 of the day I began to develop painful blisters on the sides of my heels. They became so painful that I had to purchase band-aids and had to buy another pair of shoes.\r\nI love these shoes- they are so comfortable- but I don\'t know if I\'ll be able to wear them again :(

I love Merrells but not the Plaza Ballet; it has an awkward fit with it being too wide in places and doesn't stay on your foot. The Plaza Bandeau model with the strap near the toe stays on very well and you can practically run in it.

Love Zappos, hate this shoe!
I tried. I really tried. This shoe just stinks. It's heavy, slips off of my feet (changing sizes didn't help), and is just not that attractive, IMHO. Doesn't look like a ballet flat, looks like a gym shoe. Also the top cuts into the top of my foot.

I am very disappointed in this shoe. I have owned several Merrels and they have all be wonderful. These shoes are some of the most uncomfortable shoes I have ever worn. I wore them to work today and when I got home my feet actually hurt. Poor arch support and the leather is hard.
