Customer Reviews Merrell Encore Eclipse

Finally, I was so happy to have a kind of a stylist and most of all a comfy shoes, I just had to install a arch support because mind is deep... But that's it great flat comfy shoes!

I have purchased the brown one 6 years ago and had no complaints with them. Now I am ordering a new one but mine looks old now. I suggest it to doctors/surgeons who are on their feet all the time.

My feet are one size different. I found that the 9.5 fit my small foot (right) and the 10.5 fit my big foot (left), so I settled on a 10 (yes, I had ordered all three: Thank you Zappos for working with me). The left shoe stretched out just enough to make them comfortable.

I like these shoes so much I ordered a second pair. Comfortable for long walks and yet attractive enough to wear all day every day.

I really wanted to like these shoes. They were going to be my new work shoes, but they're a bit difficult to get on. The heel scrunched down, and it's a pain trying to dig it out and wiggle you feet in. Also, they squeak when you walk. If I wanted my shoes to squeak from the get go, I'd have ordered some Dansko's.

I love lace-up Merrels because then I can snug them up to fit, and the support and fit is wonderful then. Unfortunately, with non-lace-ups, apparently I have no hope of ever finding a Merrell that fits. I've tried many, and this time I ordered two sizes so I could choose the one that was best (a great little feature that free shipping both ways allows! Yay, Zappos!). The 8.5 was too short (my toes hit the end), and the 9.0 was way too big. The problem is the instep. They must think that the average person's feet are extremely TALL. My feet, sadly, are very flat and very flexible, and my instep is probably a negative number... (hahaha) The 9.0's would have fit fine if the instep had not been so high. The length was right, and the cushioning in the sole felt great. I also really like the looks of this shoe. In Dune, the diagonal bands, the nubuck, and the color are all great. Perfect with jeans and a sweater. Love the shoes, hate the sizing. Come on, Merrell, you have some die-hard fans who have narrow, flat feet!

I bought these shoes for work and they are perfect! I work in a warehouse walking on hard concrete and these shoes definitely provide support and comfort for long days!

Shoes look fabulous when it arrived. The leather scuffed very easily. The shoe felt more narrow than anticipated. The overall support is great. The shoe started squeaking within 3 days of me wearing it. very annoying and slightly distracting/embarrassing. I kept them because of its utility and visual appeal for everyday wear. I would not recommend for long lasting fashion.

Felt tight when I first got them, but after a few days of wearing the leather loosened up. Great comfortable shoes for walking in Europe or for wearing to work. I stand and walk a lot and need comfortable shoes with good support. These are nicer than the older suede Merrells that I wore out.

I saw these shoes on a woman in an airport and didn't get a chance to ask about them. Lucky I found them on Zappos when I ordered some other Merrells. These were the only ones I kept. I usually prefer slides over mocs but these fit well. They are a little hard to put on.

Sturdy shoe with roomy toe box, but heel is wide and slips. I'm trying inserts and thick socks to alleviate the problem.

Super duper cute points. Thought this was exactly what I was looking for, but a little too narrow in the toe base for my foot.

I bought these because I am a nurse and need to upgrade my cheap shoes to something a little more high quality that would last longer. I have worn these for about two months now and I love them. My feet feel great even after being on them for over 12 hours at a time. They are highly recommended!

These shoes are great! Super comfortable and a nice wear with almost anything style. My only issue is that with the nubuck leather being a fairly raw material it does end up with some color staining when worn with jeans if they get damp/wet from rain, etc. Otherwise, no complaints, I love them! Oh, and they do run about a half size larger than normal.

Stylish looking for a Merrell. Fit and feels like most Merells with good arch support.

Merrell's run a half size small so I knew to order a half size up. The shoe is really nice, sturdy, and fits well. The arch and instep are very good. I wear a size 10 and often times shoe makers cut corners by using a standard sole size, and the arch for a size 10 is way too far back, as if they used the same sole for all sizes and just made the larger size shoes longer in the toes. The Merrell shoes are cut in a more quality way in that the arch is correctly placed for the correct size shoe. To me this is a sign of a quality made shoe. These are great shoes, very comfortable and well made.

I'm on my feet all of the work day, so it's difficult for me to find the perfect shoe...this is pretty close. Attractive and subtle, would love more support. I have to rotate them every other day, but that is what I do with most of my shoes. I also replaced the soles with Superfeet.

Love them! I did order a half size larger but them don't fall off of my feet like the other 10.5 sizes I tried. They are very comfortable.

I really liked this shoe but the 9 was too big and the 8.5 was too small.

This was for my mother and she liked it a lot. She works a sales assistant and is constantly on her feet, these shoes help her stay comfortable and get her through the day. Thanks!

Perfect look but I think my feet are to narrow for the regular ones (even though other shoes fit perfectly). I kept them because it is the only shoe in the market that looks this cool.

The biggest draw back to this shoe is that it is very hard to get on. It is wonderfully comfortable, but I usually choose another pair of shoes, because I have to hunt up a shoe horn in order to get them on. What a pity!

I got these shoes to wear with somewhat dressy pants and suits. I needed something comfortable to wear all day that I could also run in. I find the inside back edge of the right shoe rubs my heel if I do a lot of walking and while they look decent they are a little clunky.

Not warm! The soles keep the cold and snow are my feet are freezing in them. Also, they were stiff when I first got them, so I used a blow-dryer to soften the leather. This worked wonders and really made them wearable. However, I wonder if that is why they are so cold in the snow and ice. They also track in sludge on the bottoms and are messy. It is very difficult to wipe my feet in them and they are terrible trackers. I love Merrells, but I regret getting this white elephant.

I had this shoe. same size. same style for 3 years. Now I bought these and my big toe is KILLING me. Something changed. Not the same comfort.
