These shoes are wonderful! I've received many compliments on them and sent everyone to Zappos. Zappos is the best!

Ordered the shoe because I have been having foot problems and needed arch support. The shoe had great arch support and is true to size. The service was great and got the shoes in just a few days. I would recommend this shoe to anyone who has a foot problem.

Love the support (great arch support), however, I have a narrow heel and these just slipped right off as I walked. True to size based on the Merrell size chart on their web page (I measured using CM). Too bad these same shoes aren't available in a Mary Jane. Would buy them in a heartbeat!

I buy Merrells in general because they are usually so comfortable, provide great support, and are very stylish. The Oceania style fit the bill this time as well!

Very comfortable shoes. Initially, I encountered problems with the right shoe being too big and the left shoe fitting properly. Finally, after ordering the 3rd pair, I determined that the previous right shoes were probably stretched out. I would definitely recommend this shoe, and found it to be true-to-size.

I really like this shoe. I have a bunion and I usually have to try on dozens of shoes before getting one to fit. I was able to purchase my normal size and wear it from the very first day. When I buy new shoes, I carry an old pair in the car 'just in case' but I was quite pleased to be able to keep wearing these. They have just a tiny bit more room in the toes and that is very important for me.

I have fibromyalgia, so it usually feels like I'm walking on pebbles even in the most comfortable of shoes. This pair of shoes create zero pain when I wear them, which up to now is unheard of. Additionally, this is the first pair of shoes in my entire life that have had enough arch support. I want a pair of these in every color! These shoes do run a wee bit large, but I do life in a rainy climate and I can wear socks with them perfectly.This is also the first pair of shoes other than my Keens, that required no break in period. I have worn them straight out of the box with no discomfort what so ever.

I recently bought a pair of Merrell shoes from Zappos. What can I say, the service is amazing and they were so helpful. I am a very big Merrell fan here in Australia and wear their shoes all the time. I am visiting my sister in the states and I had them sent to her address where they will be waiting for me when I arrive. The sizes are the same as here in Australia for Merrell shoes. Hope this helps. Thanks Angela.

Wonderful fitting shoe. So comfortable for me and I have multiple foot problems, bunions, one foot longer than the other, etc. No more visits to the foot doc with this shoe.

I love this shoe. Had to buy 11 as there was no 10.5. Wear these as casual shoes instead of sneakers. So comfy, cushy. I wear black tennis socks to make them snug sometimes.

I bought these shoes as quick slip ons I can wear to ride my bike to work, or to throw on when I take my dog out for a walk. They work well for those purposes. They\'re extremely supportive, and the back of the shoe does not give my heel blisters, as most shoes do when I wear them barefoot. I have wide feet, and I find these to be a bit snug across the front of my foot, but I think they\'ve been stretching out as I\'ve worn them.

Product arrived super fast and apart from a little rubbing at the heel, I am pleased with my purchase.

I am usually a size 8, and a size 8 in this pair would have been fine with socks. Without socks it runs big so I ended up with a size 7.5 for the summer months. I ordered a pair in blue, red/orange, and the green one. The blue looks most true to the picture. The red/orange is very vibrant. The green is cute, but I don't see it matching very many outfits. High arch support, so those who have flatter feet, beware.

I recently ordered the Oceana in the yellow, very cute shoe. I had to return them because they where to big. I wear a 7.5 (38). I did not order the 7, because I was afraid it would be to small. All the Merrell's that I have, 7.5 is a perfect fit. Thanks to Zappos for the outstanding service from Maryland.

Much too tight in the front of the shoe; I tried about three different sizes and just gave up.

Love the look but have a hard time with the sizing. I am usually an 8.5 (have other Merrells in 8.5) but found it to be a little too roomy in the heel so I ordered an 8 but it was a little too small. I ultimately kept the 8.5 with the intention of wearing no show socks. Wore them all day and found them to just be ok. Have yet to wear them again.

This shoe felt a full size larger than I expected, which is odd because I sometimes find Merrell's run small on me. The uppers were stiff, and didn't feel pleasant to me.

Looks good at first, though color fades quickly. I've had this shoe through the summer. It's been good for using with an orthotic, though the heel slips. It is cool to wear for summer. Treads pick up stones, etc.

Merrells are my favorite brand and I really wanted to like these, but they were a very bad fit. Merrells usually fit my narrowish feet, but these were so wide they gapped on both sides. Also seemed to run longer than usual. They are cute shoes. Maybe if your feet are a little wide they will work, but I had to return both colors I ordered.

Have brought Merrell's before and they have always been true too size. This shoe I haven't worn because although I am happy with the look and the build of the shoe it is a little wide for my foot. I do have a narrow foot but have always found other styles to fit well. Consequently I have the shoes still in a box as I am not sure whether I should return. Despite this I love the shoe; it is groovy looking, has the usual good quality of a Merrell shoe. The color on the website is true and the shoe is really comfy.

I bought these as my "comfortable" shoes for my wedding reception to put on after my heels. Because my feet were sore from the heels, I didn't notice how these felt until I wore them again later. They feel tight but not in a too-small way. There's room at my toes, but they rub against my heel. Walking around in them, I ended up taking my feet out of the heels and wearing them like clogs/flip-flops instead. I love the color, but when I wear them to work, I take them off as soon as I get to my desk.

Purchased this to wear on trip to San Francisco where I expected to do a lot of walking. All previous reviews were so positive I thought these would be perfect, but after one day of wear, I had to purchase another pair of walking shoes. These rubbed on my big toe and outer part of foot. By the end of the day, I was limping and miserable...have to return or donate.
