I love these shoes. I have a very large foot and have to buy men's shoes so it is hard to find something other than running shoes that don't look out of place on a woman. These fit the bill when I want something nicer than athletic shoes but not all dressed up. These are very comfortable and good looking. Love the light weight. I have bought them in the black and brown and am very happy with both. Thank you Merrell. Love your shoes!!

The men's Encore Gust is an awesome shoe. My husband loves the comfort and swears that Merrells are second to none when it comes to comfort and quality. The price is high tor Merrells, but the quality is worth the price over and over again! These are shoes that my husband purchased about 5 years ago, and he wears them everyday. Merrells are truly built for this kind of wear and tear. My husband also loves these shoes for traveling. They are easy on and off...and feel like bedroom slippers on the go! If you're looking for a long lasting quality shoe, look no further!

I bought these for my husband last year because he loves to cook and stands for hours in the kitchen. He said he had to get used to wearing them since he is used to lace up sneakers or work boots but he said he loves them now. He wears them all the time around the house so I decided to get a pair for his brother this year.

I bought the shoes as a gift for my son who is a neurosurgical resident and on his feet all day. He is very happy with the shoes - fit, comfort, appearance. Zappos' delivery is excellent. Delivered so quickly!

These were a gift for my boyfriend and this is what he said: Terrific shoes! These shoes have a comfortable insole, excellent treads and a fine look. Easy to slip on and kick off as needed. I would recommend them to anyone with good taste and aching feet.

My husband loves these. He does procedure based medicine and they are great for being on your feet as well as handle any necessary clean up. His last pair lasted about 8 years.

My husband loves these shoes and is on his third pair. They don't come in wide so I get a half size bigger. That seems to work. They're comfortable to wear right out of the box and durable too. It was hard to find the black leather ones and a friend suggested Zappos. Great service with a sense of humor. I will definitely be ordering more from Zappos in the future.

I bought these shoes to replace a similar pair of Merrells (Encore Groove mules) that I purchased 6 years ago. Back then I thought that I was going out on a limb purchasing a mule (something radically different from any shoe I had ever owned). Turned out I've never worn a more comfortable shoe. The shoes have remained comfortable even on days when my feet and ankles are prone to swelling. I've enjoyed wearing them so much that I ordered 2 pair (1 brown / 1 black) so that I'm covered should the shoe ever be discontinued.

After 10 years of wearing these, about new pair per year, I still think they are the best! My size 8.5 always fits; insert soles have improved; they take a good shine if so inclined. First part to wear out are the heels unless you use a shoehorn, but even without the horn they last a long time.

second pair after having been forced away from the mesh ones when two "V's" of elastic were added, making the fit too loose for my narrow foot! If you have issues with the looseness of your shoe, get the 7MM foot pads...they DO make a difference!

I have worn this style of shoe for years. It is the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. I hope that you never stop making them.

I bought these for my husband -- his second pair. He loves them! Comfort, nice looking, and easy to get on just fit the bill for him. These shoes have all of that. Oh, yes, he loves the support with these shoes, too.

My third pair of these arrived today, thanks to one-day shipping. Here's why I'm on #3, despite pleas from my uber-trendy friends to stop wearing them: a decade ago I had a debilitating car accident that wrecked my back. I was in chiropractic therapy for years and was considering surgery. My Merrel mocs, in addition to regular light exercise, changed everything. I can literally walk miles in these shoes, as I did two years in a row in a famous San Francisco foot race called Bay to Breakers, and I still have no back pain.
Sure, they lose some points in style, but honey badger don't care anymore. These are amazing shoes. Now, I have an old pair for gardening, another for vigorous walks, and these new ones will be my "nice" pair.
Thanks, Merrell and Zappos!

I have purchased this shoe for nearly 10 years. I have only had three pair in those years. Two were replaced because I scoffed the toe so badly they couldn't be effectively polished. The third I wore out the soles I am on my fourth pair now. Don't have any plans to give them up. I own a black and separate brown pair. As for sizing - they are in the loafer category - so as they age your foot will be looser in the shoe.

Ordered same shoe from Amazon, next day said they didn't carry... Check to make sure your payment was back in your account. Checked out Zappos they had it at a cheaper price, easily done. Got the shoes fast, exactly what I was expecting. Would recommend.

Bought these for my husband and he loves them. He says they are so comfortable and take him anywhere. But most of all thank you Zappos for being so easy. I am a long time customer and am always happy with the service you continue to give, just outstanding!

I ordered these per my husband's request. This is his 2nd pair. He loves them! I too have these in women's. I shattered my right heel a few yrs back and these are the only shoes I found I can wear so I am grateful to my husband for buying his first pair years ago and telling me how much he loves them. So I spent so much money on buying shoes that did not work for my right foot. I now actually have 4 pair of your brand shoes!

My husband loves these shoes. This is his second pair - the first one lasted about a year and a half, and then became too dirty with everything he tracked out of the OR. He is on his feet during a surgery for 12 hours a day sometimes and never complains about his feet (I wish the shoe could come with an automatic neck massager, then we would be set).

I work in a hospital and walk all day long. These are the shoes I keep buying because they are so comfortable. There are also very easy to kick off underneath your desk if you get a chance to sit. Run true to size and last a long time.

My husband has been wearing his Merrell shoes more than ten years and loves them. When we invited to a wedding I thought it would be a good time to get him a new pair. He didn't want an additional pair because, he said, the ten-year old pair will "last forever" and are "so comfortable." I insisted--he needs them for special occasions.
I love them because by kitchen floor stays nice and clean--the shoes are easy for him to slip on and off when he works in the yard and garden and doesn't bring dirt or grass in the house.

I bought my last pair of of these slip-on/clog style shoes from Merrel over 10 years ago and I am still wearing them! However my wife suggested that I get a new pair since I wear them all the time. I will say they are just like they were 10 years ago and I am enjoying my new shoes! They are perfect with khakis (business casual) or with jeans when you head out on the town. I have hiked in them as well, but mostly on heavily traveled trails. The only negative is that they don't come in a "wide" and it takes a few times wearing them to stretch the leather to fit my wide foot. Overall though the quality/comfort/style/price of these shoes is excellent!
