I love this sandal and have bought two pairs this year. Only wish it came in more colors. Nothing rubs; comfortable under and over foot even when wearing all day.

I ordered these on a Monday and they arrived the next day--great service. I really like these sandals, very comfy. I have a knee problem and these were just what I was looking for, just enough foot support but lightweight and flexible.

This has to be the softest, most supportive sandal I\'ve ever had. I tried on about 30 pairs of sandals this season and this is the only one that fit. I am really a 9.25 in terms of foot length and so the size 9 just barely fit, other Merrell style size 9s were too short and the 10s too long. They are also the only saldal that was snug enough for my thin foot. Most others were too wide across the arch area. I also had trouble finding a supportive, low heel sandal and this one supports my arch perfectly. If you want a sandal that feels like you\'ve worn it for a few years - you will love this one right out of the box!

I love this sandal! So soft, seems more like glove leather and doesn't rub anywhere at all. Cute, classic and comfortable, couldn't ask for more! I'm really a 10.5, so sometimes 10 is too small or 11 too big but this shoe fits perfectly in the 10. Five stars for sure!

Great sandals for hot weather, lots of room for toes to expand when they get too hot. The style is nice enough to be wearable even for semi-dresss. As always with Merrill, these sandals are very comfortable. Highly recommended for people with wide feet or those needing lots of toe room. This is the second pair for me, I also bought the mauve sandals.

Love these shoes! Very comfy. Footbed gets dirty very easily though and I’m trying to find out how to clean them. Overall, great sandals if you do a lot of walking.

I love the classic simplicity of this sandal. It will never go out of style. It\'s practical and comfortable, although when I found myself standing outside for a long time on a hot day, the footbed began to feel hot and hard.

This sandal is the most comfortable sandal I have ever worn. I purchased the mauve and loved it, then purchased the dark brown. I have a bunion which makes it very difficult to find comfortable shoes, but from the moment I put these on there was no "break-in" period and my feet felt so comfortable all day long. Love these sandals!

Got these shoes to walk around Italy for 15 days. They were great. The heel bed is very cushy and enough arch support for me, I have very high arches. There were not too wide, but wide enough to be comfortable after walking all day in the summer.

Very comfortable shoe. I can walk all day in them. Good support and they also look very nice. \r\n\r\nMy favorite brand is Merrell. More comfortable and stylish than any shoe I have ever worn.

This shoe is by far the most comfortable Merrell sandal that I've tried on. I've tried almost six different ones! What makes it so soft and comfortable is the "full grain nubuck leather" -- super soft! I love it!

My most comfortable sandal! Not tight or confining at all. The footbed is soft pigskin, but supportive with good arch support. I got the tan ones and they seem to go with everything. Look much better on the foot than on this page. I usually wear 7-1/2 and got size 8, and they work fine. Great buy!

These sandals were so comfortable right out of the box that I immediately ordered another pair of Merrells (I have purchased about 7 pairs of Merrell\'s in the last couple of years). I do order a size smaller in their sandals. I have plantar fasciitis and have had to get rid of numerous pairs of shoes that I could no longer wear. The Merrells have been lifesavers.

I love these sandals. They're big so if you're between sizes, definitely go down a size. I usually wear a wide shoe but these were fine. My daughter has an average width foot and these fit her also?! The leather is so very soft and comfortable that I had to go back and buy another pair in brown. They look very good with skirts and capris. Thanks Zappos and Merrells!

Love these sandals! My daughter sent them to me for Mother's Day. They are so comfortable, typical Merrells.The color is great, something different, kind of a Mauve color.

Great, comfortable sandal. Had great service at Zappos. Very friendly, attentive employees. My exchange for a different size could not have been easier. I'm a 1/2 size, so I had to go up to the next size, which worked out fine. Very pleased with the product, price and service. Would definitely do business with Zappos again!

The minute I put these on my feet, I loved them, bought them and wore them for 10 hours straight the very 1st time. I have Arthritis in my hips and these have helped. No need to break them in and the Heel feels like a cloud. I am ordering in the dark brown next.

Very comfortable and attractive sandal! I have a medium to narrow foot and they fit perfectly; they are not for just a wide foot as another reviewer suggested. Merrell wins the sale again, as these sandals have better arch support than the Clark Privos in similar styles. Would love to see these in a soft metallic like the Born Charubs!

Love these sandals! They are so comfortable right out of the box and needed no break in time. The leather is soft and the sole is comfortable to walk in around town or shopping, etc. A great find at a good price!

Oh, so comfy! They really do feel almost like you're barefoot, but with a little more support. Very lightweight, decent arch support, and they fit my foot, which is wider at the toe than at the heel. Very flattering to my feet, as well. And I love the tan color.

Great sandal, but what Merrill footwear isn't? Like walking on air, and great arch support. I have a wide foot and I love how Merrill's accommodates the wider foot ladies. If you have a narrow foot, you won't be happy with these. Got these in the mauve and absolutely love the color, nice neutral. Merrill's is the best in footwear!

I couldn't be more pleased with these shoes! They are very lightweight, soft on the inside and actually cradle your feet! Each strap is lined on the inside with a soft material, no rough leather straps! And even some flowery embroidery on the side straps and couldn't be better! Since I have a problem with plantar fasciitis, I have to choose my shoes carefully, paying particular attention to the way they support my feet. These shoes pass the test. They are very supportive, yet still look feminine. They are not clunky and athletic-looking like some styles out there now. My foot doctor actually recommends Merrell as his first choice for folks with my problem. These shoes look great with slacks, jeans, shorts, and even skirts. These shoes are the greatest!

These are very comfortable. As with all Merrell shoes, this sandal is so comfortable. Lots of arch support, and a cushy footbed.

These are great travel sandals. I got them in black and another in tan.
The sole is very smooth, with no seams to irritate the foot and the leather straps near the toe has a soft edge. It could use another 1/16 of an inch of sole near the front for walking on cobbles, but overall this is a very comfy shoe.
Not sexy, but not too ortho looking either! I have narrow feet and this worked well for me--just went half size down.

This is a very comfortable shoe right out of the box. The leather straps are as soft as butter. Don't know if has enough support to last a whole day of shopping or touring though.
