One of the most comfortable shoes I\'ve ever worn. They go with everything. I\'m planning on buying another pair.

Love these shoes! Felt comfortable from very first wearing. Even though I loved the Mauve color, I ordered in a lighter color, too, because I was worried the Mauve wouldn't be neutral enough to wear with everything. It is! But I kept the other pair, too, because they are so cute and so comfortable. They look cute with skirts and summer dresses as well as shorts, capris, etc.

Because I wear a large size and need extra width, I used to always buy men\'s shoes. These are the first women\'s Merrell\'s that I tried. They are a bit more snug than than the men\'s styles (why don\'t women\'s shoes come in wider widths?), but now that I\'m used to them, I wear them often. I really like the mesh inserts, since we are not permitted open-toed sandals at work.

I like the shoe. I bought it in the Elm color and it goes with everything. It's cute, but not as comfortable as I'd like. The toe portion of the shoe is a little stiff. I have to put a bandage over the bunion on my left foot to protect it from the irritation of the shoe rubbing it. I don't have this problem with the right foot. Maybe they need to be "broken in?" I chose this shoe for its arch support because I have a torn tendon and pronation and I can wear them for hours without my ankle brace. But I don't like that the insole doesn't feel dry. Maybe I just need to get adjusted to that feeling -- it is better than wearing sneakers all summer! Bottom line is, I'm keeping them, but I can't give them 5 stars for comfort. Thanks to Zappos, I do all my shoe shopping online!

Very comfortable shoe right out of the box. True to size and very cute. I bought a second pair in the lighter color.

I've never liked Mary Jane styling for adult women but with this shoe/sandal, I see more of a rugged outdoor-engineered sandal with a closed toe. My unattractive toes are covered and protected but still feel the breeze. The instep strap is fully adjustable and long enough to go over a very high instep without leaving exposed hook-and-loop to gather fuzz, as on my Tevas. The insole does not feel as sticky as bare plastic or rubber compounds, but is not as "dry" as the leather/suede I prefer. The fit is generous, with such a high wide toe-box you'll think at first they are too big; check length, not width, for proper fit. Think of it as room for air to circulate. The elm is a soft green that looks almost khaki with khaki pants. The mauve was adorable and if I could have afforded two pairs, I'd have kept them too. As it was, I decided the more neutral elm was the safer choice. Gray would have been my first choice if it hadn't sold out. Very comfortable overall, and that's what you're looking for, right?

I bought these for a Florida theme park trip. I knew I would be doing a lot of walking and standing in line. I also wanted something that covered my toes because I have seen too many bashed and rip up toenails and I wanted mine protected. These shoes were very comfortable all day long. The first couple of days, I alternated these with another pair of nice Mary-Jane walking shoes and ended up wearing only these for the latter part of the trip. These were just more comfortable.I have also worn these on a couple of other excursions, both were hikes/walks. On one, I wished I had on my hiking boots instead of these because of the rougher terrain and the soles of these simply didn't give enough grip. The other hike was on a groomed trail and these were more than sufficient.There are no perfect shoes, but these are close. The only things I would change would be to add a few more vents or make the vents bigger as these were a bit hot in the Florida heat. I like the removable heel strap (came in handy when I went snorkeling and my swim fins gave me blisters on my heels) but I would also like be able to remove the Mary-Jane straps. Also, I got several compliments on my cute shoes. I measure a medium width on one foot and a wide on the other but the medium width felt fine on both.

I love these shoes. I have bad feet and have trouble finding anything that is stylish and comfortable. These are both. Could have a bit more arch support but otherwise I love them.

It took a little while to get used to the fit (it's looser than I'm used to, but no blisters), but I love them now. The size is the same as my Merrell light hikers. I have a narrow foot, and the toe section is a little loose, but there are adjustments for the rest of the foot. I've gotten compliments on them nearly every time I've worn them. They're going to Alaska with me later this month.

Love these shoes! No break-in needed, they are comfortable and fashionable. I went up one half size since we will be traveling to Asia in the summer and I wanted more room for my toes. It\'s a bit pricey but definitely worth it!

These are amazing little shoes! They are so light, and so well cushioned that it's like walking on air. There is nothing to the shoe that weighs you down, yet there is plenty of support. I was concerned that the straps might chafe at first and need adjusting, but they were never an issue. Additionally, they have a style that's neither too sporty nor too cute, so they go well with many casual looks - very cute with little ankle socks and a jean skirt, for example. And the elm color is a fantastic neutral color that goes with just about everything.

After much over thinking, I bought these shoes for a three day walking tour of Chicago. These are awesome! I wish I would have bought them a long time ago. I am a very active person and have since enjoyed these with short, dresses and everything in between. These shoes rock! Super comfortable and stylish, too. Don't wait!

These are very sweet shoes, and though I haven\'t actually worn them yet, they feel nice on and allow for plenty of toe movement. I am done with uncomfortable shoes and I am pretty sure these are right in line with the quality I have come to expect from Merrell.

I bought these shoes for a vacation. I did a lot of walking, and they were very comfortable. If I had to say anything negative, it would be that the heel strap didn\'t hit me in quite the right spot, but it didn\'t hurt or rub anyway.

Once again Merrells come through. I was just about to purchase Keens when these Merrells caught my eye; equal utility with far more comfort and style. Merrells fit seems to work well for me. The Siren Ginger is a great all around summer shoe and errands around town to hiking in the woods. They are also quite stylish for an active shoe;got a compliment on them first time out!

I bought the Merrell Siren Ginger after reading the reviews. Besides the fact that my feet are flat, I suffer from arthritis in one foot. Additionally, I am on my feet all day. I simply love these sandals, especially the roomy toe box. I can literally move my toes. The double adjustable straps give the sandal a comfort fit, and they are stylist enough for me to wear to work. The sizing is on point; I only wish they had more colors. One more thing, initially they did not have my size in stock, they notified me by email when they became available, at which point I ordered them. Bravo to Zappos!

When I first tried them on I thought no, too flat. They looked so cute though I gave them a second chance and am thankful for that! These are fantastic shoes! I am on my feet quite a bit at work. They are super comfortable, no break in period! I think for Merrell's they run a little wider and longer than other styles I've tried. Worked out great for me. I have size 11, and they actually look smaller. Highly recommend! Thinking about getting another color. Worth the money! And of course Zappos rocks! It's the only place to buy shoes!

Great shoe for summer. No socks needed. It feels like an athletic shoe and slips right on. I'm on my second pair.

These are nothing short of fabulous! No break in required. I was specifically looking for a summer shoe to wear for extended periods of time on vacation instead of socks and tennis shoes, which get very uncomfortable and hot. I wore them on my son's field trip this week for 8 hours and never had any rubbing or sore spots, and we climbed a lot of stairs. I have had issues with my flat feet from rheumatoid arthritis and have had plantar fasciitis flare up in the past, and these felt very comfortable right out of the box. The mesh gives lots of breathing room and the adjustability of the top and back straps is nice in case feet swell during the day. It rained a some the day I wore them, and I hated that I got them a little wet on my first wearing. But when they dried, they looked as good as new. I would definitely buy them again and might just get another pair in a different color. These look just as good with jeans as they will with shorts and capris this summer.

I really love these shoes. The fit is right per my regular shoe size, color great and the versatility and looks are what I wanted. The toes protected and I can wear them for fun or for work if I want. Oh, and they are very comfortable even without my orthotics. A great choice.

I work in a library and I'm on my feet most of the time. I don't like sneakers and socks so these shoes are great for work, very comfortable and light. They are breathable so my feet never feel hot. We just went on a trip to Disney World. I wore these shoes several times, all day. They were great! My feet never hurt, even after walking a huge amusement park for 12+ hours. Love them! Worth every penny! My local shoe store carries them but didn't have them in my size. Thanks Zappos!

I ordered the Siren Ginger as I was so happy with the full-foot Sirens made by Merrell (bought one pair in a store and ordered a second through Zappos). If you haven't had the opportunity to have the pleasure of wearing the Siren, it for me was above the standard. To be honest I hate how sneakers look in general and the Sirens appealed to me as they offered not only a more refined look but the comfort that I know I require to wear a shoe for exercise or an extended period of walking. After having such a good experience with the Siren I ordered the Siren Ginger. I am here to tell you that it is as comfortable (even perhaps a bit more) than the Siren. They are a bit wider than most medium widths which I appreciate. I can go for hours and miles without a sore foot and the Q-form extinguishes the pain I have had in my hips with other shoes. Lightweight and very supportive to those of us with high arches, need I say more! Merrell has got it together with this style.

I bought these in my normal size to take on a cruise. They are lightweight, comfortable and good for going through airline security. They are roomy enough to wear a light sock but I usually wear them without. The Elm Nubuck color is very neutral and easy to wear with most outfits.

I bought these shoes about a month ago and have worn them almost everyday. I stay home with my kids so I'm always on my feet, always on the go. There was no break-in period. They felt great from the get go. I have worn them with jeans, capris, and now as the weather gets warmer, I think they will go with shorts, too. These are well worth the money. I will be wearing them all summer long.
