Customer Reviews Merrell Encore Breeze 2

I am disappointed to have to return these shoes. I really liked them for the most part. The problem is that the left one is not wide enough to support my pinky-toe side bunion, so the shoe cuts into my foot on that side. The fact that the shoe is slighly elevated at the heel makes it worse, putting more pressure on my forefoot. Even the size wide was not wide enough. Other than that, I found these shoes really comfortable, and I really wanted them to work. I wish they were just a little bit wider, with flat heels. Also, I wish the wide sizes came in more colors.

This is the second pair I've tried. It fits well; however, it seems to have a cardboard piece in the left toe which rides on my toes. Uncomfortable.

Perfect summer clog: light weight, flexible and they breath. I buy winter Merrells in size 7 or 7.5, but purchased these in 6.5 because I don't plan on wearing socks. My only concern is that they show dirt easily and spot cleaning is difficult because of the texture. I've given them a spray to protect them.

This is a really nice shoe. After reading many reviews, I ordered a size 8.5, instead of the size 9's that fit with my beloved Orthaheel Shoes. They fit perfectly. Unfortunately, I'm not confident that there is enough of a high arch, since I have flat feet. I feel as though this shoe cannot correctly my over-pronation that my foot condition causes. I will, sadly, have to return them and I'll stick with my Orthaheels, which offers plenty of good arch support and is definitely correcting the way I walk. Bummer.

I love this shoe -- my 4th pair. Had to buy it in 10 W rather than medium, so it's a bit loose, but the m was too narrow for some reason.

Love the look of these shoes, however, the size doesn't seem to be the same as other Merrell shoes. I have always taken a size 6.5, but these seem a little large.

My foot is a bit narrow so I need a sock/half sock with this shoe, but it should be just right for a medium width foot. I love the arch support and find it very comfortable overall. Also, a very good looking shoe. Definitely recommend this shoe.

These are comfortable enough, but I really love lots of cushion and they are not the most cushiony shoes I have owned. I use them for around the house or short errands, but I don't think I could be on my feet in them all day (I have plantar fascia). Also, they are not overly wide, if you have a wide foot, these might be snug.

Best travel shoes I've ever had. Have been buying them for 5 years or more now, but the past two years they are not as true to size. They are being made in China and I think the quality control has slipped. They need to pay attention to the detail of size. Please send this to manufacturer. I recently got pair and the right foot was way wider than the left, both marked exactly the same size. I have 11 pairs of these shoes in every color and I love that I can throw a couple of towels in the washing machine with them to scrub then and they look like new. I love shoes I can wash after travel.

Very comfortable shoe! Not super stylish, but I'm looking for something I can walk miles in on hard pavement so I think this will fit the bill. Runs a bit big and the W is wider than I expected. I put in a thin cushion insole (under the shoe's removable insole)and that solved the "too roomy" problem. Zappos service is Z-fabulous. Thank you Zappos!

Great shoe, but it's a little wide if your foot is narrow. I feel my toes crunching up to keep them on. Love Merrell, but a narrow foot will have a hard time with slip-ons.

This shoe runs wide which is ideal for those with very wide feet. I can wear them with socks and needed a thin insole added to take up a little room. This is very unusual for me.

I've bought these shoes for years and this year the styling has changed to a narrower look, which is nice, but somehow it has compromised the support in the previous versions. I like them, especially the new styling, but not so much the new fit.

Seemed just what I wanted but the arch support isn't what I have had before in Merrells. I tried removing the insole and inserting orthotics but that made them too tight on the top of the foot.

This is my second pair of Merrell Breeze shoes. They are comfortable and versatile, and were great for walking on my vacation.

I love this brand and style. In the past, I've order this shoe in black in 9.5M for me and my sister. She is a nurse and on her feet all the time. She says this shoe saves her feet from hurting and that they are very comfortable and fit well. However, even though I ordered the same size as I have in the past, these shoes feel big. Curious.

This is probably my 4th pair (at least) of these Merrells -- so clearly they work for me - light, comfy and most of all, they fit. I'm an 11 1/2 and the 11s work pretty well for me.

I have been wearing Easy Spirit TravelTime clogs for years, and wanted to try something new. These are comfortable, and seem like they should hold up pretty well. I also like that they are all black - the Easy Sprirt style changed over the years from a black sole to gray and then white, looking more like a sneaker.

I like Merrell shoes in general, so I thought I would try this style. I work from home and wear "slippers" all day - I needed something both comfortable and supportive. These fit the bill.

These are very comfortable shoes. I have a wide foot so I ordered wide. It is too wide for me and I can't wear them except around the house. They are comfortable and very stylish, just too too wide.

While attractive, this shoe was much too wide and long for my size 10 foot. So I am returning the shoes.

Very comfortable, very good arch support. Discrete looking, nothing to be ashamed off. Perfect to wear around the house and good to walk around the garden when the ground is dry. I am very satisfied; however, I can see the white glue used at the point of the shoe, where the rubber and the material meet - I just hope they last.

I usually wear a 9.5W, and decided to try the 10. They're huge! I have to return them. They're so big, I don't know how many sizes to size down. For the right size foot, though, these would be great. They're very light and the materials are good.

Usually wear size 8 in Merrell. 7.5 fit better, but still loose over my arch. The sole is not the same sole as Encore Ice (I have 2 pair size 8). I had hoped it would be the same. Returning them.

This shoe runs 1/2 too large (I wear 8 in Merrells, I needed 7.5). Also this shoe does not have the good solid support of the Encore Ice. The sole is flimsier, so I am not keeping.
