They are super comfy, but I feel like the pair I had before (the Breeze not Breeze II) came up higher in back. These don't seem to stay on as well as the older pair I had, I feel like they flop a little bit as I walk and the other pair I had fit snugly. I like the arch support and how easy it is to slip them on.

This is my 3rd pair of Merrells of this style that I have owned over the years. I also had to order them 3 times before I got a pair similar to my 1st 2. I used other vendors and received shoes that were way too big, perhaps they were "seconds." I had better luck with Zappos, although this pair is still a bit larger than my others. I use them as my house shoes and I do love them.

I got these shoes because I am pregnant, and didn't want to be bending over pulling on or tying shoes. They are not the most comfortable shoes because the insoles are pretty firm. The fact that I can slip my feet right into them is great, so they serve their purpose and I am happy with them. I wouldn't mind a more cushioned insole though.

Great fit. Comfortable for lots of walking. However, I would like the heel to be a little higher than I would LOVE them!

These must be very comfortable because I know lots of people who love them. However, I have hammertoes and they rub--I kept them anyway and use lots of bandages.

I find that the materials and design are a little lower quality than the same shoes purchased a number of years ago. I am pleased with the appearance, comfort and fit although the last is somewhat changed from my previous pair. I wear them with socks with jeans. I use them with my orthotics to increase support.

I've been wearing these clogs for years. They're great. Comfortable, supportive, and in a large size, not clunky. Although cut a bit skimpier than previously.

I purchased these clogs in faded denim in two sizes, having fallen for what looked like a sweet pop of bright blue, but unsure of the correct size. I had worn these Merrell clogs almost exclusively a few summers ago. They are light weight and had proven kind to my problematic feet. However, a few major surgeries later, this summer was the first I could even consider going sockless. The purchase did sort out my size question, but both pairs are going back because to my dismay, the cute pop of blue I was expecting turned out to be a dreary grandpa's sweater shade of grayish blue. I guess I should have paid more attention to the color name, but the picture on my screen at least, looks bright blue. There are no other colors available with any fun to them, so I am back to black and deciding between the deep tan or silver mist for a lighter neutral. Highly functional and serviceable, attributes I value highly, but I sure would have loved a trendy neon or summer bright in place of a second neutral! I find these Merrells run half a size larger than similar shoes by other makers.

I liked the style and comfort, but the shoe ran large. I'm exchanging it for a half size smaller. The shoe ran wide as well. I hope the next size smaller fits because I really like this shoe for casual wear.

These are great shoes. They are light weight, protective and very comfortable. I have very small, very wide feet, and the width was perfect! I am on my feet all day, and my legs and feet do not hurt wearing these clogs. My only complaint is with the insole. I wear support hose, and with just the hose my feet slide around in the clogs. I solved the issue by adding a gel insole, but am disappointed that the insole is so slippery on its own.

My new favorite pair of shoes. They are so comfortable and easy. They are also lightweight. My foot doctor recommended the style and brand. He was absolutely right.

This shoe is comfy for puttering around and running quick errands. I wouldn't wear them if I'd be doing too much walking, though, but that's because there's not enough arch support for me.

I love my new Merrells. I have a winter pair and these are just as comfortable. My only reservation is that they are not as breathable as they look. Very light weight, though.

I have very wide feet, depending on the shoes from 2E-4E. These just came in W. They fit just fine and are very comfortable.

Nice shoe. Wish the white would have been available. I thought the mesh fabric would let air flow through, but there is a solid fabric layer underneath the mesh.

For many years, I wore Merrell shoes for the comfort. But with age and weight gain plus a bunion, came the need for wider shoes. I was pleased that this shoe was offered in Wide width, as the mesh upper provides a measure of give. These have adequate arch support, although not outstanding. All in all, a comfortable shoe for a wide foot.

I usually wear 8.5, but found that the 8.5W was too big (too much room left behind my heel). I got the 8W instead and they fit well. I have bunions and these provide ample room for them; however, they do not offer a whole lot of arch support or cushioning under the feet.

This is the 4th pair of Merrell Encore Breeze shoes I have. They are very comfy, however, this particular pair are very roomy. I had to buy inserts to make them more comfortable.

I have foot problems and need something to wear around the office that looks somewhat professional (it's a casual workplace) yet is comfortable. These fit the bill. However, they make my feet sweat like crazy. Would need socks to wear on street for tighter fit and moisture control -- not an attractive option. So these are indoor-only. Expensive, but the only shoe I've found that fits my very specific need.

After reading the reviews I decided to purchase a pair of Encore s in a size 6.5. I typically wear a 6.5 and sometimes a 7 so it seemed like this would be appropriate. Sadly, they are too large on me and I feel like my foot is sliding in them. I live in Florida and don't wear socks so the large size is quite noticeable. I bought them because I wanted a pair of vegan mules and didn't expect them to be very attractive but find them particularly unattractive in the black. Overall, I wish I had returned them based on the size and the color. Perhaps I would be happier in a size 6 and a lighter color.

I have worn these shoes for years and have owned several pairs. They are my favorite and most comfortable shoes, and if they were a bit more attractive I would wear them almost exclusively. As is, I wear them almost daily -- and even have worn with skirts. After recent foot surgery which has left me with a swollen foot I was delighted to see that Merrell makes, and Zappos carries them in wide. So I bought them in wides in the two available colors -- black and tan. Aside from some very expensive sneakers, these are the only shoes that feel comfortable on my healing foot.

I chose this shoe after seeing a segment on the Dr. Oz show. I have a number of foot issues and decided to give them a try since they were considerably less costly than the number of shoes that I have been wearing suggested by the podiatrist, (which weren't giving me any relief). I am quite pleased with this shoe. I went with a wide to accommodate inserts since I have a high instep and arch. The only drawback I have found is that the front of my feet sweat in them without socks. So, I wear "toe socks", that way you don't see the sock at your heel.

Wonderful shoes. Very comfortable and they stay on your feet. I got three compliments in the first week I wore them. I love recommending Zappos.

Initially, this shoe felt great! But I proceeded to wear it without socks all day, and it gave me a blister on my little toe from rubbing. I will keep the shoes, but wear them with socks.
