Customer Reviews Merrell Spire Stretch

I love these shoes. This is the second pair I have owned - bought the first pair and immediately took them to a two week trip to England - walked everywhere in total comfort. I agree, however, with someone else's comment that they are quite warm - it doesn't bother me too much, but others could find that is a problem.

I hope Merrell never stops making this shoe! I originally bought it in brown about 3 years ago. They were instantly comfortable with no break in time. These originals are still going strong. I bought them in black just a couple of weeks ago. They allow for your every step to feel supported. These are my "go to" shoes - I love them!

I love these shoes. I have had a brown pair for about 3 years and this year I bought the black. They wear very well and have no break in period. In fact, Merrell shoes are the only shoes I wear. I am very happy with them.

I love these shoes! I have bought 3 pairs and I wear a different pair to work every day. They are very comfortable. I wear them at least 9 to 10 hours a day. My only complaint is the sole wears out very quickly. I thought if I wore a different pair every day, they would last longer. But that wasn't the case. I put a shoe stretcher inside them for 2 days prior to wearing them. This speeds up the break-in process.

These shoes are extremely comfortable and sturdy enough to handle a walking commute. The stretch fabric at the top is very helpful as these shoes won't slip off unless you really want that to happen. I wish that the styling were a little less casual at times, but they are okay with slacks at work.

They are cute enough but they do not hold up as well as my Dansko clogs nor are they as comfortable. I am a international flight attendant so I have high needs.

These were a little difficult to get on. The heels felt very narrow and rubbed. The shoes were comfortable, but I could feel the insole in the middle of right foot. I decided to return them.

These shoes are a little difficult to get into, but slide too much on the heel. The foot bed was generally comfortable although there was too much padding on the outside edge for my foot. Returning them.

Must have NARROW FOOT to Wear this Shoe!!! I could not believe it when I tried these shoes on. I always wear a medium and my feet are on the wider side, not narrow. I couldn't even get my feet into the shoes. I tried desperately. There is also no arch support. Unless you have narrow feet, I would not order these.

This is my second pair of these shoes. I bought the other pair a few years ago. I add a thin Dr. Scholls liner as I have had foot surgery and was so happy to find shoes that both look and feel great! They can be worn with jeans or slacks, are a great fit and very comfortable!

I love these shoes. They look very classy and elegant with my business attire and are very comfortable. They are also very supportive.

Purchased these shoes for a two week trip to Italy. We did a lot of walking and they kept my feet comfortable and blister free the entire time.

I bought these Merrell shoes for my daughter for a Christmas gift. It turned out to be a truly wonderful gift. She just had knee surgery for torn ligaments and tendons, and needed to get back on her feet in a week to work as a hair stylist, and this means of course being on her feet most of the day. That's why I chose Merrells, they offer great support, and this shoe offers style too, so we were able to take care of her foot and leg support and keep her fashion sense at the same time. I just wish Merrill made their shoes in wides so I could where them. She loves them, and their so comfortable she never wants to take them off. Thanks Merrell and thanks to Zappos for getting them to me in time for Christmas. Sometimes everything works out, picking the right companies with great products is the way to be satisfied and getting your monies worth.

I love this shoe! This is my second pair of Merrell Spire Stretch. I wore the first pair for three years. They still felt great, but were looking a little tired. I am up and down on my feet all day long and have arthritis in my feet. This shoe provides the right mix between support and "give," along with a neat and tailored look with black pants at work. I wear them just about every day during the fall and winter months. I was very excited to see that this style was still made and that Zappos is carrying Merrell's for women.

Good Looking...Great Quality - I purchased these shoes as a replacement of sorts for a black pair of Merrell's that I've been wearing for about 6 years. I'm partial to my old pair but these are just as nice. You cannot wear out a pair of Merrell's - the quality is fantastic!

A wonderful shoe - Excellent in fit, walking comfort, style.

Merrell Spire stretch - Comfort is acceptable. There is no break in time; I would recommend it to anyone. Although I normally have a problem with shoes in terms of arch support, and height. This shoe is excellent.

Great waterproof/resistant loafer - This shoe was comfortable right out of the box, which was good because I was down to the wire on a waterproof shoe for my trip to Europe. The shoe might state water resistant, but this thing is waterproof! Got caught in a downpour in Rome and my feet remained dry and toasty. I was also very rough on this shoe and did some trail walking in the Czech Republic and the shoe held up very well. Again, my tootsies were dry and toasty at the end of some very wet and muddy trails. The look of the shoe won't win any beauty contests, but that's not why I bought it. :) All-in-all a very good shoe that I would recommend.

Merrell Spire Stretch - Most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. True to size.

My favorite shoes! I ordered two pair of these because I was worried I'd wear my first pair out. Nice enough to wear everyday at work, yet comfy enough for the weekend with jeans.

Incredible Comfort - Spire Stretch was comfortable right out of the box--no break-in necessary. It has a cushioned foot bed with good arch support and a soft leather upper that doesn't rub. I wear either a 7 1/2 M or an 8 N depending on style of the shoe and the brand. Since I didn't have a width choice here, I ordered the 7 1/2 M, and that size was perfect with thin socks. No slipping, despite my narrow heel. Although I plan to wear these shoes with jeans and "cords," they are not too casual for tailored slacks. The rubber "tread" that goes part way up the back of the heel is a bit weird, but not obtrusive. Actually, I think it will protect the back of the shoe when I drive. If this style came in chocolate brown, I would buy another pair.

Great Shoe - This shoe has it all. I know Merrell shoes have a reputation for being a well made shoe and this shoe does not disappoint. Comfortable from the moment you put it on and a great look.
