Bought a pair for my fiance and he loves them! Definitely would recommend these to everyone. They are lightweight and comfortable.

This is my second purchase of the same shoe. The first one was about four years ago and it was torn from the back. They changed the design with this new model. This is a great shoe for office use. It is not good for walking or hiking. This model is not holding your foot tight as much as the previous model. So it is not comfortable walking anything longer than short distances. But it is great for people working in an office or that kind of an environment.

At first I thought they were too big, but I added inserts from running shoes and they are great!
This is my second pair of Merrells, the first having lasted several years.
Very happy with these.

If you prefer clogs or slides, this is an excellent summer shoe. It is a great alternative and a bit more dressy than a pair of flip flops. I think they look great with short pants as well as long pants. They are the perfect light weight for long walks on the boardwalk or being on your feet all day at the amusement park. If you are on the fence, get them now while they are in stock. I purchased them in all three colors and am thinking about buying a back up pair. Great shoe. Very pleased.

My husband loves these shoes because they are so comfortable and easy to get on. He won't throw away his worn pair because he figures he can wear them when he's puttering around in the basement.

I love them! They fit well and are very comfortable. I have worn them since their arrival, there was no break-in period at all. Great service from Zappos.

Nice shoe, it is very comfortable. I use these shoes when traveling through the airport, I remove my Merrell Encore Bypass, walk through security then I put on my comfortable pair of shoes.

Bought my normal size, intended to wear them barefoot as slippers but they fell off with every step. Able to get a better fit adding insoles, but I also reordered a size smaller to see if that helps.

I like the style of the Merrell Encore, but the arm did not fit properly to my foot. The high point of the arch portion of the shoe actually toward the back of my arch nearer to the heal. I wore them around the house for a day and decided to return them.

I bought these for "house shoes" as I need to wear orthotics whenever I walk around to avoid flaring up my plantar fasciitis. They are great for this need because the insoles don't fall out of the back. Also, excellent arch support.

This is the third pair I own.
I live in them as they are very comfortable.
I stand a lot, so they give me the perfect support.
Don't show lots of wear even after a few years
I will buy them again!

This is a four star review even though I am about to buy my third pair in four years. The only thing that bothers me about them is that the fabric at the top of the heel is fairly thin and wears through within early months to show yellow foam padding, which sticks out a bit over this sides of the shoe. When they are getting nearly worn out, the upper material begins to separate from the sole, so they begin to look a bit tatty. For me, the appearance is secondary to a very comfortable fit from the first try-on through almost ready to part with that first pair.

I really like these. They're comfortable, light weight, and reasonably cool. I did have to get them one half-size smaller than other Merrells I have.

Right out of the box it seems just awesome and wow but it doesn't very fit to size. I always order 9.5 and this one is big for me. I am returning this and order a 0.5 inch less. Comfort seems perfect, Grip looks totally in control. Overall I'll say this is nice shoe if you order a number or half less.

Nice casual shoe. No break in required because they are cloth, not leather. Light weight. Only drawback is that they cannot be polished if they get dirty, and they a lot of things will stain them. They are the closest thing I could find to the original "Primo" which is no longer available from Morrell.

The only part of the shoe that needs work is inside edge of the insert which rubs against the foot when you do not wear socks. The insert edges are not smooth or rounded. I like the shoes but because of this I am reluctant to buy another pair. Also inserts in stores are pricey.

I am hard to please and Zappos did a great jobbing changing out the shoes I tried. Very quick service and easy to use application.
Will definitely be a return customer.

Review of the shoe - Solid. Got a 1/2 size too small, and have been attempting to wear them in, no little avail. I wish I'd exchanged but whatever. Now, the service. The best, period. Zappos crew. Shea was my driver on the Zappos happiness bus, and she took me on a way way trip to heaven. Shea, you're amazing. Zappos, I'll be continuing to use you for my footwear, and anything else I need that you offer. Mega-preesh.

Attractive, decent comfort, good space in the toe box. Gets a little narrow towards the back of foot. I found that inner sole not completely flat and curves along edges and bites a little into my foot. As long as I wear thick socks it doesn't bother me, but thin or barefoot does. I ordered the one that was reddish brown, but instead the one I got was a gold-tan type of color. The box says it's the right one, so I don't know if I got an updated version or there was something wrong in the dye process of the shoes. Expensive.

Awesome shoes. I like to wear them to the airport because they are so easy to get on and off, and comfortable. Even though they are the same size as my previous pair, these are just a bit larger.

I'm a woman who got fed up with uncomfortable, ill-fitting shoes. Most Merrell women's shoes are not quite wide enough for me, so I tried the men's version. It's a perfect fit and oh so comfortable. I just wish the men's shoes came in cuter styles! But the comfort is well worth the sacrifice.

Very comfortable! Easy on/off; I usually wear 11.5-12 but needed an 11. would have liked a little better arch support, but ok.
