Durable, lightweight, functional but still stylish. I'm going on a vacation and these will be great for days when we do a lot of walking; and lightweight, easy to pack.

I haven't worn any other shoe since this one arrived. I read that there is little support in the shoe (arch support). I have noticed no such thing. I wear the shoes all day and I never notice a lack of support. Lastly, a day does not pass in which I don't get a compliment on these Merrells. Thank you.

I had a pair of shoes similar to these made by Natralizer. I actually wore them out. When I couldn't replace the exact shoe, I thought I would try these. These are great!! Very comfy!

These shoes are so fantastic that I have already ordered a second pair for back up! The shoes hug your feet while providing feather-light support with good shock absorption. There is also plenty of room in the toe box. I wear a size 10, and am always on the lookout for a shoe that is trim and flattering and I am so tired of clunky looking athletic shoes. These work for sport and casual dress. Can't praise them highly enough!

These Lorelei Zip by Merrel are exactly what I was looking for. They are lightweight with just enough support for easy walking. Fit is true to size. Very comfortable right out of the box and no breaking in period needed. My feet perspire no matter how cold it is, but these shoes keep my feet dry, with or without lightweight socks. Good toe guard too. I got them in blue, (which is really a pretty color) in anticipation of a warm Spring and boating. I will definitely get these in another color or two for everyday wear. Casual, not clunky and so they're fine with jeans, shorts and capris. As always, Zappos is A+.

I love Merrell shoes but more than that I love Zappos. I had originally bought a different pair, the shoe gave me a blister (while walking in the house) and Zappos exchanged them for the Lorelei. The shoes are great; Zappos is greater.

Another fun shoe from Merrell! I love the sleek profile and thankfully, no logos plastered all over this shoe. Arch support could be improved, very minimal in this shoe. With that said, the shoe is easy to wear right out of the box. I ordered the black, and if they wear well over the next month or so, I will order in the other great colors.

Very comfy and great color for summer. I only marked down overall because of fit. They have good support and width is right but fit very loosely on me through mid-foot and heel - I felt like the shoe is too deep. This is easily fixed with a partial insole.

I now love these Merrells for their look and comfort but I did have to adjust them a bit. With just the original Merrell liner, they felt a little to thin soled to the ground and also in a size 10, my regular size, my toes were hitting up against the shoe as the side cuts back quite a bit from the front toe. If I wanted to wear thick socks with them, I would definitely go half a size bigger. Merrell will not want to hear this but I stuck a Crocs liner in the Lorelei and then these were perfect: it lifted my foot to were there was more toe room and it gave the needed support and padding. Now these are my most favorite walking shoes. I even trekked in them for two days in the Himalayas!

Very lightweight and good for travel. Not great for narrow feet. I had to return the 8 1/2 for an 8 and that helped. The top back seem rubbed the back of my heel raw, even through mid-weight socks, but hopefully that will go away with heavier socks and after breaking them in more.

These are very comfortable walking shoes. The soles feel very cushioned despite being not very think. Lightweight, good for travel. The zipper is sticky, though, and hard to unzip. The blue is attractive, but a bit vivid, so be forewarned. Merrell seems to run a little large, so I ordered a half size down and the shoes fit perfectly.

I love them, but the zipper is a struggle everytime. Not sure how to clean them either. THe color might run.

These shoes are so versatile, stylish, and pretty comfy. Wear with jeans, shorts, with or without socks, casual pants. An earlier pair was my about-camp shoes in Africa, the only non-hiking shoe I took. Very happy. They've done Rome and the office.

I bought a pair for my mother as well and she loves them. However, I did not like the ones I ordered for myself because they were too large around the ankle and also hit me on the ankle bone. My foot was swimming in them so back they went. The length was right so I did not try the larger size. The shoe is really cool-looking and worth a try but this particular model just didn't work for me.

I have owned many pairs of Merrells and love the fit but am disappointed in the arch support. The heels are cushioned which is nice but for walking there is not good overall support.

I had a Merrell Arabesque that I loved and these looked close. They feel like a wide. I did keep them because they are comfy and the right color.

I hope Lorelei Zip is not going to replace the mesh Arabesque. It is not as attractive as the Arabesque. Makes the foot look larger and just does not seem to provide as much support. It fits okay and will do but not as good as Arabesque. Zappos service was as good as it always is.

These shoes are really cute and very streamlined, not bulky at all. One thing, the back of the shoe is kind of stiff, so I got a blister from the shoe rubbing against the back of my heel. I think once they soften they will be great shoes.

This is a cute stylish shoe. If you have a high instep, avoid this shoe. You cannot make any loosening adjustments unless you walk around with the zippers open.

Don't be fooled by the color of this shoe. It's called ICE but it is gray! I asked 8 people what color my shoes were and all 8 said, "Gray". If you're looking for white, these shoes are not for you.

Looks great, but the sole is too thin, too little arch support for much walking.

I have a very difficult size to find in most shoes. When I purchased this shoe I was disappointed because it's too wide and doesn't give me the arch support that I had hoped would come with this brand. If I hadn't worn these shoes I would return them and keep looking.
