Customer Reviews Merrell Encore Apex

These boots are unbelievable! I was looking for a burly boot that I could use for hiking with my dogs in the snow (I live at 8,000ft. in Utah). I needed something super warm and light... Sorrels are great but so heavy. So they have been working perfectly... we have over a foot of snow now and my feet continue to be warm and dry. The other huge plus is that they are super cute with skinny jeans, skirts, and/or dresses. So so happy with these boots!

We haven't had snow yet, so I haven't had a chance to really break them in, but I found them to be a good fit and very comfortable. I can't wait for snow!

Very happy with the product, very warm and comfortable. Withstood its first fierce snow storm, great product. I really recommend these boots to everyone.

Love these boots! They feel like sneakers, go with everything from jeans to work pants and dresses, and are warm and fun. I have plantar fascia and my orthotics and heel cushions fit in these too. I will miss them come spring!

Very comfortable and extremely warm. Highly recommended. I ordered my regular size and they fit perfectly!

Love them! Warm and comfy. Fit my narrow heel well. Like that they have a removable antibacterial insert.

Superb, warm, good support - easy to walk in - pretty much the perfect boot, but I preferred the style of last year's (or was it the year before) model. As long as the snow isn't over two feet deep, these are wonderful!

I love these boots except for left label which I cut out. It rubbed. Now boots are perfect!

I love these shoes. Bought them to wear all day long for 5 days straight in Park City in the dead of winter. They were equally comfortable and cute. They didn't take any time to break in and were genuinely waterproof. Lots of compliments, too!

Very good boots. I ordered online because my shoe store only had a size 10 on clearance. Normally I am a size 10, but for snow boots that I planned to wear heavy socks with I definitely needed a full size bigger. I've been wearing them for a couple weeks now and they're everything I wanted: Stylish snow boots that are comfortable for walking all over campus and town, and can handle the huge snow-drifts I walk through to get to class on a regular basis. When I first started wearing them around the house they seemed to pinch a bit in the heel area and I was worried I would have to send them back, but the problem went away after a few hours of wearing outside. Merrell comes through for me with sandals on a regular basis (I have needy feet) and it seems like I can trust them for winter boots as well.

This is a fantastic boot! We are having the worst winter ever, tons of snow and alert. I purchased these boots for an up coming ski trip but due to our snowy winter I haven't taken them off my feet. They are truly waterproof and extremely worth the money. These boots are a thumbs up from me.

I love these boots - true to size - don't even need extra socks. Got these and two days later put the boots to the test - 8" of snow and two driveways cleared later, feet toasty warm and dry.

I love these boots. They are super warm and comfortable. I find myself wanting to wear them all the time. For a snow boot, they are cute, especially with skinny jeans.

Wonderful warm boots. I usually order a size 8, so I was concerned when I only saw a size 8 1/2 available. I ordered anyway, and was glad that I did. The boots fit perfectly.

I love these boots! They keep me warm and are waterproof, so far. I did order a half size up because I wear heavy socks. They zip up nicely and they fit good. I have no complaints about this boot.

Very warm and comfortable, and they look great! A little stiff at first, but after a few wears they really take to your foot and leg.

These are my 2nd pair of Merrell boots. These are very warm but first and foremost, they have built in arch support. I normally wear a custom orthotic but I don't need it in these boots. These are my snow shoveling and errand running boots when it's snowy/slushy. They are waterproof!

I love these boots. They are comfortable, sturdy and just the right calf height. Good arch support too.

I live in Merrell clogs and shoes and never anticipated a problem with their boots. I ordered three different styles/colors, as I need boots desperately, and all boots fit me the same way! They were all too tight in the toe area, and my heels kept slipping in them. Very weird fit, to say the least. I will keep trying as I love Merrells, and love Zappos for their awesome customer care and service! I'm sorry to have to return these, as they are really cute boots. Very well constructed, A+ all the way.

These boots are warm, lightweight and have decent support. I really am a 7.5 wide but ended up finding the 8.5 boot to fit comfortably. Having a little extra in the width was important, as was the side zip for getting in and out of easily and there was only a small difference between the length of the 8 and 8.5. Once I adjusted the cord up the front of the boot and snugged it up, all felt really good. I'm real happy with these boots.

Love them! Got them as a Christmas gift (after sending my husband a detailed message about size and color!) and they are fantastic. Cold snowy weather here in Washington State was just the test for these - and they have proved to be super warm, very comfortable with good arch support - and cute too! As other reviews have mentioned, at first the ankle "bunches" a bit, but after wearing them for a few hours, they seem to be fine. They are high-calf length. Wish they were a couple inches taller, but I love them anyway!

This is a great boot, the side zipper makes it easier to get on, I have a high arch which makes getting a good fit in a boot harder. Boot look good with jeans or pants tucked in or out,very cute with leggings, socks, and a skirt. Lots of compliments and envious glances. Buy and enjoy. Boots provide warm, dry feet without being heavy.I have the brown - great color, fun,fashion and function.

These boots were everything I expected. I am sometimes a little bothered by the ankle area after a long day. But nothing major, I can just feel that it is there, it's not painful. Also, I have been thinking about putting in an arch support, but that is just me being picky.

Loved these boots. Wore them last night to a football game in 26 degree weather. Feet stayed toasty and warm. True to size. Very stylish - got many compliments.

I ordered these boots to replace a pair of loved Keen boots that started rubbing funny. I struggled finding a pair because I wanted boots that were warm, but not clunky (i.e., snowmobile-type style), nor did I want 'fashion' style boots. These absolutely fit the bill! These are cute winter boots. I wear them underneath my jeans, and they're not bulky. If you wanted to wear them with leggings or skinny jeans, they're certainly cute enough for that also. I've worn them in the snow, and I've stayed warm and dry.
