Customer Reviews Merrell Hollyleaf

I love these shoes! Sadly, I must return them. The left shoe fit perfectly, the right shoe was way to wide. This has never happened before. I will order another pair and hope for the best!

This is very cute, and quite comfortable, but it really doesn't have the same support as the other Merrell "QForm" styles I have bought (the ones designed to accommodate the alignment of the female hip/knee/ankle). I still like it, but wish the arch was a bit higher.

I wish this came in a 10.5, it's so cute. The sandal runs wide, and I may be able to get by with a ten, but my littler toes almost hang over, in the 11 it's so so wide it slides forward and almost off. The colors are cute and the style is so nice, I am a merrell girl, I own the jungle moc, encore ice, and Moab hiker. The shoe is very well made and comfortable, I just dont go for the toes on the edge look, if I slide my foot back the heel is over. This will work for someone without half size issues and if you have wide feet

Excellent shoe. Nice arch support. However, comes only in full sizes. If you get size larger, arch support does not hit exactly where it should. You just have to wait to break them in.

Very cute, but sadly I must return them because I have swollen feet and they are too tight. The footbed is not as cushioning as I thought it might be. The size was right on, except for my problem.

Easy to wear, extremely comfortable shoe but with the footbed being fabric, it's also hot.

I agree with all of those positive reviews but here is the deal: If you have big ole bunions, depending on how your foot is structured, you made run into the problem I did. The coverage over big toe created some sort of subtle pressure that gradually produced a great deal of pain in my bunion area. Just something to consider...All in all it's a great shoe, it's just that my foot doesn't work with it. So sad...

I loved every aspect of this shoe. The fit was perfect, the shoe was comfortable right out of the box, the colors were great. The reason I had to return them was the tread. It grabbed every surface I walked on and I was SERIOUSLY afraid I was going to fall.

I was sent the wrong item--Flutter Wrap instead of Hollyleaf. The leather is raw on the edges, the shoe is minimal for someone looking for that, but it looks somewhat cheap and insubstantial to me.

I love the way these look and feel. I have purchased two pairs. My only, but significant, complaint is that these shoes wear down much much more quickly than any other shoe. Each time the shoe only lasts me the summer. Granted, I wear them almost every day, all day, for four months, but I still think I should be able to get two seasons out of them.

This sandal is ugly! Wish I had gotten in another color. The fit and feel is fine, but the color is not summer and doesn't flatter the foot. Would recommend the sandal, but not the color brown!

I have the aqua color of this shoe which fits great, so I bought the gold too. The gold color is too loose on my foot, but perfect in length. Cute sandal but I want a better fit.

Nice looking shoe, great red color. Alas, my foot is too narrow and no way to adjust shoe so have to return it. It did not come in half sizes so had to order up which may explain the fact it didn't fit.

When I put the shoe on it felt weird -- it makes your toes look odd in a way I can't explain. But comfort ruled, initially that is. I am not sure about these shoes. Initially they are great on my bunion. Then, they seem to almost exaggerate the problem with my big toe -- pulling it more towards my 2nd toe. Finally, the foot bed on the outside of the shoe is thick. It throws my weight more toward the arch and makes my foot sore after a long time.

I love these shoes they are the remodel of the Genoa (they do not make any more) but I was at a store were I live In Fl and tried both the 7 and (8 that fit) but the 7 was to small so being a loyal shopper of Zappos I came home and ordered a size 8 from Zap when I received them they were so sloppy on my foot so I figured maybe I would try the 7 with Zap they were so small I think maybe they were missed marked (size wise) to say the least I have to send them both back. Maybe if they were in half sizes that would matter....Oh I do own 7 pairs of Merrell sandals and they are all size 7. I still love shopping Zappos for my shoes. THANKS ZAPPOS for your help just disappointed in this shoe.

I love Merrells. There is no break-in period and they look so great when they are new. The issue I have had with these, and I have them in black and in blue, is that the arch isn't well supported and I tend to under-pronate in them. Also, because they are suede, the amount of time they look new doesn't last all-too-long. I haven't had mine 2 months yet and they look like I've had them more than a year.

I don't know why a company would emboss (as in a raised pattern) the foot bed of a sandal. I could feel the pattern rubbing with each step I took. I typically love Merrell's but these are going back. How I miss the cushy Merrell foot beds of years past.

I SO wanted to love these because they look awesome, really sharp. But they felt very flimsy and despite ordering a size up, were still too small, with my heels and toes nearly going off the ends. They were also not very supportive, I could feel everything I walked on through the sole of the shoe. A shame because they just look so nice on.

I really wanted to love these. I wear a 7 1/2 and thought a 7 would be fine. Way too short. I then ordered a size 8 cause they don't come in 1/2 sizes and it was way too large and too wide. So very sad. Both pairs have to go back.

Merrell Hollyleaf arrived today in Moroccan Spice - the color and style are really cute. However, I am a true size 9, and the size 9 I received felt like one size smaller, not to mention that the width was extremely narrow...like toes falling over the side narrow. The sole of the Hollyleaf feels very marshmallow-y, too soft and no support at all. If I had gone up another size, the band across my foot would've been too loose. Too bad...they are cute, just very oddly sized. And for the price? You can do better. Thanks, Zappos, for making returns so easy.
