I bought this pair of shoes because I gave a similar pair to my wife a few years ago and she loves them. So based on her experience with the women's version of these, I decided to order them. I wanted a slip on that was comfortable yet provided adequate support as I stand a lot when I'm teaching. At first the right one felt a bit too small, I ordered size 9 which is what i normally wear in other Merrells, but after about one week-10 days, the stretched a bit and now fit perfectly! They are very comfortable even after standing for long periods and are so easy to put on and take off. I am very happy so far and understand first hand why my wife likes hers so much. I plan to but another pair of these whenever these need to be replaced which I hope is still several years away.

Very comfortable shoes. I love being able to slip the shoes on and off. Well worth the money. I bought a black and brown pair so I am set.

I love these shoes! They're great looking and perfect for my lifestyle. I wear them for easy hikes, and they're also great looking when I decide to succumb to dressing up a bit.

Acouple of weeks ago I ordered a pair of Merrell Encore shoes from Zappos. Even though I normally wear size 11 the shoes were too large and I had to exchange them for size 10.5. Zappos was incredible. The exchange was very easy and I am delighted to now have a pair of shoes that fit perfectly. I have shopped on line before but Zappos is by far the most user friendly company I have ever dealt with.

My brother has varicose veins and most shoes hurt the tops of his feet. He works in an emergency room at a major hospital and saw one of the doctors wearing these shoes and asked about them. He couldn't find any locally so I ordered them on line without telling him. He was thrilled to get them and they have helped his feet tremendously. I'm sure I'll be ordering more.

When I received these clogs, they were too tight across the top of the insight and pinched. When I called to ask if another style would provide additional space, the rep (Zach) said no, but he offered to send me a thinner set of Ortholite insoles, at no cost. They solved the problem perfectly, and I'm now a happy owner.

This is the 3rd pair of Merell Encores in 6 years I bought for my husband. I think that says it all. They are extremely comfortable, easy to take on/off. Ward of caution though: they do stretch. My husband wears size 11.5-12 and he always gets these shoes in 11. They will be very snug when you put them on for the first time, but after couple days they will fit like a glove.

Excelllent shoes. Extremely comfortable and lightweight. Helps greatly with bone spur by allowing it to go over the top of the back of the shoe.

I was very pleasantly surprised with these shoes. I have never worn this style before, thinking they would not give adequate heel support. But overall they are one of the most comfortable shoes I have worn. The size and fit is great, they are light yet give very good heel support and overall support. I do a lot of walking at work and have back problems. Wearing these, I almost forget I have shoes, they are light and provide good overall support for my back.

I have been wearing the ladies version of these shoes for years. I no longer wear slippers; just slip these on. If you wear orthodics they work very well in these shoes. I just got a pair for my husband and he said they are the most confortable shoes he has ever worn.

I bought these for my husband. He already had this shoe, but he wears it so much that it needs to be replaced (or at least retired for yard work only). He was happy with his new shoes.

I purchased a third pair of these for my son as well as a first pair for hubby. They provide great comfort! They are worth every penny. They hold up well. They are handy to kick on and off at the door.

Husband wanted same Nike clog he's been wearing, not made any longer. This was the closest I could get. He's pleased with fit, but it seems quite a bit lighter in weight/quality than what he had. He likes it, so I guess that's what counts.

I already own a great pair of Encore Slides. The Encore Gusts are very close in both appearance and fit.

I have a pair almost like these in women's. I was thrilled to find the men's version. I gave them as a present and they were at hit. No bending over to put them on, no laces, no shoe horn. They are missing the back/ heel but support the entire foot and are stable to walk in.
They are the most comfortable shoes I have worn and my friend feels the same. The last time we flew it was a challenge getting his shoes back on to leave the plane. We are looking forward to comfort and easy traveling with his new shoes.
Happy F,

Wow! The dudes and dudettas at Zappos! are unbelievably incredible at. customer service. From the moment a CSR answers the phone (in this country - and i don't think that happens very often...) they are pumpin' out the charm. if you have been a former customer of theirs, the CSR instantly knows who you are, what you purchased and your size. They are not in any way, shape or form the robotics you get from CSRs from many other companies. My shoes arrived the NEXT day! Quality of the products are exactly what you expect. i do not like to go in to stores and do the retail Cha-Cha. That's when you go in the store, you take a few steps forward, your take a few steps back, you turn to one side, and repeat the steps. Ordering from Zappos! is the easy as Z-a-p-p-o! (no Cha-Cha required) i want to make my business as easy for my clients as the Zapster does for me.

Very comfortable for daily use, fit perfectly, wear them nearly all the time. I have your bug brown color (two pairs). I would purchase a lighter color if it were available.

I have purchased several pairs of this model (and its predecessor)over the years. This step-in shoe is very comfortable for standing and walking. Obviously, it is not a hiking or running shoe, but for sitting, standing for long periods, or walking/standing as it a typical activity in a museum for example this shoe is perfect. I own two pairs of the colors I need. One pair is for everyday use, the other pair I use for more "dressy" occasions.

This is my 4th pair of Merrell slip-on shoes, and I'm ready to order a 'backup' pair, just in case. Fits perfectly, comfortable, looks great. I particularly appreciate the ease of slipping them on, vs having to bend over an tie laces.

Love the shoes, but these run a half-size larger than the Merrell Breeze. I probably should have exchanged them for a half-size smaller, but with thicker socks, they're fine. Like all Merrells, super comfortable.
