Merrell's are about the only shoe I can wear now. Very comfortable. My feet need a little extra room (wide) and the Encore line of shoes fit me comfortably. Some of the other styles of Merrell shoes are too tight and did not fit me. This is the second pair of Encore shoes I have bought.

This is my second pair of these shoes, and this pair seems to be just as comfortable and easy to break in as my last pair. I alternate wearing these to work with my athletic shoes and am on my feet all day long. These are also the shoes I wear when dressing up a bit when vacationing in Europe. Great shoes!

Perfect work shoe. Comfortable but I returned the first pair (with no problems) and ordered a half size bigger. Keep in mind your feet swell when you are on them all day. Quick shipping. Zappos is awesome.

I love Merrill shoes and these are my new favorites. They are so lightweight yet still retain the Merrill sturdiness. They look like a stylish clog but my foot is nicely supported. I highly recommend these shoes!

I have had these shoes for a few years and still love them! I have a neuroma in one foot and achilles tendinitis in the other and these shoes keep both feet the happiest. I may just have to order another pair!

A very nice looking shoe, but a little too narrow for me in the 8.5 (and I think the 9 would be too big). I've been wearing the Encore Ice which have a wide toe box so I'm probably a little spoiled. I'm returning the Encore Eclipse and the search continues - but with Zappos' selection and excellent shipping I don't need to look anywhere else!

Incredibly comfortable! I stand and walk short distanced all day long at work, and these shoes are comfortable and supportive. I can wear them daily and my feet won't hurt at the end of the day. They're not very dressy, though. So if I have a presentation or a meeting, I'll wear something else.

I work on my feet all day and need a shoe that is comfortable, but can be worn with dress pants. I own the Merrell Encore Eclipse in both the black and the brown, and it is perfect. No more sore feet at the end of the day!

Awesome stylish shoes - the only ones I will wear. I use these on the farm, and to dress casually when out - they clean up nice, even after a day in the barn. I also use them to ride my horses because they slip in and out of stirrups easily and safely. Thanks Zappos, you're wonderful!

I bought these to replace my Merrell Jungle Mocs. I wanted something that looked a bit nicer than the Moc. Though the heel is a bit tough to get on (not shoe horn tough), I love these shoes. They look nice and are very comfortable. It feels like I'm not wearing any shoes at all. Excellent choice.

When it comes to shoes, I am very picky and hard to please. These shoes, however, have wowed me! From first time on my feet, I have been so impressed with the comfort and support. These shoes feel almost like they have custom orthotics. Amazing!

At last! Thanks to Zappos, I've managed to find the shoe that fits and is comfortable for all day, every day wear. This is my first pair of Merrells and already I love them! They are super roomy for my size 10 giants, but they don't look big because the pattern cleverly camouflages the size. I have extremely difficult feet that suffer super painful balls and heels when walking any length of time. I've been wearing these shoes every day since I got them and haven't suffered any pain for it. I plan to order the brown ones too.

Love these shoes! I wanted something a little less sporty than my jungle mocs and these are fit the bill. I am not a clog person but envy my friends who are -- not anymore. These are lighter and make your feet look smaller. And they are super comfy. I\'m a size 8 with narrow heels.

After developing capsulitis and being told by my podiatrist "No more Danskos," I found these. Most Merrells are a little narrow for my slightly wide feet, and although I admire the Jungle Moc, the pointy toe box just doesn't work for me. These, however, are a very good option. The cushioning and arch support I need, and the space for my wide feed. I'm considering another pair!

Love these shoes...Hug my feet just perfect and I don't have to worry about them constantly slipping off like most clogs!

I love these shoes, but will unfortunately be returning them. I need a wide, but thought maybe, like some other Merrell shoes, that I might be able to wear them. They were well made, but not for me.

Much too narrow. May be a defective pair since my other ones in brown are fine. Otherwise, great shoe, comfortable and wears well.

I am a surgical nurse, on my feet for 10 hours or more. This was my 3rd pair of shoes that I have tried because I was so impressed with Dansko. When I first put the shoes on, they were extremely comfortable. After a couple days, it felt like my feet were on fire & I could barely walk. I paid for shoe stretchers ($40) because I had worn them at work & didn't want to send back, stretched them for about a week & they feel great, like not having any shoes on. Other reviews said true to size & I believed that. However, they are not. I would suggest getting a size larger. They really are very comfortable, after they fit.

I love Merrells, and they fit me so well. This shoe is a little odd, though. It's very comfortable in the sole, but the heel is a little too wide, and the width at the top is a little tight. I kept them, and I am making them work, but I wish the back and the front were inverted - looser in the front, and tighter in the back. As always, Zappos was great.

These shoes are cute, but they had to go back. I have another pair of Merrells in a size 8.5 that are somewhat roomy, so I ordered these in an 8. I couldn't even get my foot in them they were so small.

I love the look, but they were a bit loose in the heel, although I could live with that. After a couple days, they started squeaking. I could not handle that and sent them back.

These were comfortable, but they started to squeak as I would bend my foot walking. And after about 6 or 7 times wearing them, the squeak was so loud it was embarrassing. I stopped wearing them - then months later just put them into a bag of clothes to donate. Ironically this happened again with a different pair of Merrels I bought. But thankfully those are not as loud.

Looks good with slacks. For some reason mine are a tiny bit shorter than other Merrells with the same sole design. And they are a bit soft and loose. So, fine for work and standing, but not the best for walking. I am wearing them, but probably my least favorite Merrills so far.
