Merrell is the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. A nurse friend introduced me to them. Truly a good looking sandal you can wear comfortably all day, no matter how much walking you do. Kudos to Zappos for their Customer Service.

When I want a shoe that is well constructed, comfortable, durable and attractive , I always count on Merrell's. Although usually a size 8-1/2, when I purchased my first Merrell's years ago (they're still in great shape!), I was advised to go one half size lower, and for me, that's the right choice for a perfect fit. And, I can always rely on Zappos for great service!

Love these shoes! I have some knee pain that seems to be directly related to the shoes I wear. These sandals = no pain.
They are very true to size and fall somewhere between sporty and cute.

I've worn this particular style of Merrell for at least 7 years. I love it. This year the toe of the sole is more pointed, which is a nice look, but I'm going to have to exchange the size 5's for a 6 because of it. My big toe hits the side edge of the sole, and it's uncomfortable. The 6 is a little too big. I wear a size 6 in closed shoes. Arch support is great and comfort has been great. I hope Merrell didn't ruin the best sandal style they have. I can't wear any of the other Merrell sandals. Just the Gardena.

The Gardena thong is a great sandal as it provides superlative support for women with arch problems. I gave up wearing Merrells a year back and experienced a lot of discomfort in my feet all of which has now vanished. I plan on buying this shoe forever!

I have a very hard foot to fit and these were comfortable from the moment I put them on - took them on a week cruise and wore them everywhere!

Merrell's Gardena is the best of their sandals. I just bought my 7th or 8th pair. Everything else pales in comparison to the comfort, support, and look of this sandal. I wish Merrell would make all the colors in this style that they used to make. I try other sandals and always return them and buy another Gardena.

My Merrell sandals (Gardena) are very comfortable and perfect for the tile floors in Florida houses. I am so glad that a friend told me about them.

I sent these back because of the textured footbed and it just felt like it would rub blisters on my toes.

I received this shoe on the day I left for a beach vacation, and it felt great without any breaking in. The style was versatile enough to wear with both a casual dress or shorts. These are highly recommended!

These sandals are awesome! I think they are really cute, and they feel wonderful on my feet. They have great arch and heel support. My feet do not get tired in them. They are even better than going barefoot!

What a wonderful surprise! I\'ve never spent this much for sandals in my life but developed plantar fasciitis and needed sandals with good support for vacation. They were perfect! No break in period necessary and my feet were pain free. I will definitely be buying more! They have a very sporty look and I hope to find the same thing but in a dressier look.

Ordered these sandals one day and received by the next morning. Love these sandals, very comfortable and great for walking in. I love Merrell sandals. I bought my first two pairs of Merrell sandals several years ago and fell in love with them. I need more support in flip flops and these do the job.

Pro: Terrifically comfortable little shoe, right out of the box! Looks great for everyday wear or for hot weather dressing up. Can wear these for hours and hours and my feet feel fine! Con: Foot pad seems to have changed from what the old Gardena Thongs used, I guess, because this new pad makes my feet sweat. Old ones did not.

This sandal was so comfortable and offers good support! I wore them right out of the box and all day walking around Las Vegas. No problems at all!

These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned! I buy all the comfort brands, so that is saying a lot. I look forward to coming home from work and putting these on. I wear them like slippers now. The fit is just right and I get compliments on the style. I am a Merrill fan from now on.

Absolutely excellent shoe! I have worn this style Merrell for several years and have it in many colors. I love this one as it is a bit dressier and can be worn to work. I also have this style in brown. You won't be disappointed with this purchase.

The Merrell Gardena thong sandal is my favorite because I can walk in these all day. I usually wear a 7 1/2, but I go up the half size and they fit perfect in a 8. They also have no break in period. I have worn the Senise style also but I find I need a little higher heel and the Gardena sole is perfect and they also have a better arch support. I just ordered 2 pair a few weeks ago in brown and white so I will be all set for spring. My first pair were in a Citron beige, but I think they discontinued that color; wish they still made that color too. Try them, you will love them! They are well worth the money.

I have about 10 Merrell Gardena Thongs in every color they come in. I wear them all summer long. They are so comfortable and I get so many compliments on them. My co-worker tried on my pair and immediately ordered two pairs for herself. Can't recommend them enough.

I love Merrell shoes and needed a new pair of brown sandals. When I saw these, I knew they were the ones - unfortunately, no one had my size anywhere. Zappos sent me an e-mail once they had them in stock, I ordered them and a few days later they showed up. They are so comfortable and very good looking - I absolutely love them. And, they do not make that annoying flapping sound when you walk, like so many flip flops. I hope Merrell never discontinues this model.

Merrells are God's way of saying that he loves our feet. I have yet to find a pair of Merrells that were not 100 percent comfortable the minute I put them on, and this sandal was no exception. It molds to your foot, the in-between-your-toe piece is totally comfortable, and I wore them the whole day while walking on vacation the first time I put them on. I should note that I routinely order a size down. I'm normally a size 8, but I always order a size 7 in clogs and sandals. Love these sandals and Zappos!
