These Merrell thongs are amazingly versatile. The bottom is rubber and the top is leather, so you have the comfort of a flip flop and the look of a nicer sandal. Brilliant!

My second pair. Took these to Vegas last year in the heat! And it's the only shoe I wore the entire 5 days. So comfy. Decided to get another new pair to have as a back up.

I just love Merrell's! This is my third pair and they never fail me. You can count on them to help your long walks in the summertime!

Oh how I love these. They are as comfortable as I always imagine walking on thick moss might be. They conform perfectly to my foot and they look snazzy. Bless you, Merrell for making yet another shoe that I can't live without.

I can't say enough about the Gardenia style! I should just get all the colors of this model! I am spoiled by the excellent arch and heal support. The best model you have! Just bought the Lorelie style, but not as much support although pretty.

I just ordered my 2nd pair of these. I've got problems with my feet, and these are SO comfortable! I can walk all day in them without my feet hurting. I got a pair in brown about 2 years ago, and decided that I needed a pair in white, too. Super comfortable straight out of the box. I won't have to break them in. I think I may order a pair in black, also. Wish they made dressy shoes that were this comfortable.

I really didn't need another pair of white sandals, but once I slipped these on, they were mine. The comfort and support far exceeded my expectation and they are cute enough to wear nearly everywhere.

I have several pair of this sandal and was going to keep these, except I tried two other styles that had the new footbed and would have preferred this top and that bed. Maybe next season?

I've only worn them a few times as it's not warm here yet, but they were very comfortable. No stiffness or rubbing. They were very supportive and look really nice. I recommended them to our daughter that lives in Hawaii and is always looking for supportive thongs and sandals.

I bought these sandals in white before I took a 3 week cruise/tour of the Mediterranean last year. I loved them, walked the streets of Rome, Florence & Ephesus with them & just purchased them again this year in black. They're great!

Very good, comfortable slip on sandal; I walked at least 3 miles in comfort. Good cushioning, and unlike many thong-style sandals, these stay on. I would not hike rough terrain in these, but for nice long walks these are great.

I have worn Merrell Gardena thong for 3 years. Worn them out. Need new pair in size 7 please. Black. Brown. Green. Tan. Any color. They are the best ever. I have had surgery on two of my toes for wearing too tight of shoe. Now they are free. Need dressier shoes to work in. Please but a top on these shoes and close them in a little for winter. It's cold outside but I still wear them. Love them. Linda

I have loved Merrell thongs and sandals for years. The Gardena thongs can be dressy or casual. I wore them to work many times! They are very comfortable and hold up well to the poor treatment that I put them through! The fit is consistent and true to size. The strap between the toes is a little stiff at first, but softened after a few wears.

Great for long walks. This is my go-to sandal on the tiled floors. Need a new pair as I have worn out one heel by daily walking 2 miles around the neighborhood for three years.

These are very comfortable and very stylish for orthotic sandals. I have plantar fasciitis and these have the right arch support and cushioning for me.

I like Merrells shoes because of the support. But, you have to be careful. Some of the styles are like walking in socks. I'm over 60 years and I sometimes use these as walking shoes. They work. The other thing I like is the black. The shoe surface doesn't stain like most of my other sandals.

Very stylish looking and comfortable. I was worried they would be too narrow as I have a very wide foot but although snug,they are not at all uncomfortable. The arch support is fantastic!

The shoes were just what I was looking for. The FREE shipping was the selling point. I live in Alaska and almost all companies charge extra and few offer free. I had decided not to buy. Zappos saved me a ton! I'll definitely check Zappos first next time.

Very comfortable shoe with a lot of cushion in the sole. This is a model I have been wearing for several years and have been very happy with it. I literally walk several miles a day in them when I walk to work.

I am on my feet 12-16 hours a day and need quality shoes. I decided to try a pair of Merrell shoes as a friend suggested (she has had a pair for about 8 years and loves them). I don't have the backache or bothered by my hips as I normally am. They have made such a difference for me. I will definitely be purchasing more styles. Thank you so much for a very comfortable shoe/sandal.

These are very nice, but do not have the arch support that I thought they would have based on description.
