Customer Reviews Merrell Lorelei Emme

I love Merrell. I teach school. I have to wear orthotic inserts in my shoes. Merrells are my go to shoes. They are cute and ultra comfortable. They come in lots of cute styles and colors. I gave these four stars for comfort instead of five because I also bought the Merrrll Mimosa Emmes and I find they are a bit softer and have more cushioning. These are a cute navy color and look great with jeans, capris, and shorts. I love them already!

I was looking for a cute yet comfy shoe that I could wear during the last two months of my pregnancy. I ordered several different shoes and decided on these. I love that they're airy and breathable, since it's hot here in Florida during the summer. They also feel very stable and comfortable -- perfect for a pregnant woman. They seem to run a little long. I normally wear a 7.5, and that's what I ordered. They felt long to me, but I decided not to return them since the width was so good. My only complaint is that the heel area is rubbing and causing blisters, but I'm hoping this will subside as the shoes soften up more. The lychee color is a rich coral that's perfect for wearing with fun summer outfits. The hue is a little more muted in person than it is in the photo. It's also less orange and a little more pinkish than it looks in the photo.

These are typical Merrell. The fit great, feel great. I like the open weave fabric accent and the slightly tapered toe box and looks leaner but still has plenty of room.

These are really comfortable walking shoes. The best part was that I was able to fit my orthotics into them. I loved them so much that I purchased them in two colors.

I love this shoe. It is everything I thought it would be. Comfortable, lightweight and so summery. It does run about a half size large as I tried it on in a department store so knew to order 6 1/2 instead of seven.

Put them on and they were comfy from the Get Go. Plus they are cute and airy in the heat. Thanks Merrell.

I love Merrell shoes and have several different pairs in different styles. They are my go-to shoe for daily wear. I thought these would be a good replacement for my much loved and much worn Merrell Circuit MJ Breeze. Oh! Merrill, why did you mess with a perfect shoe? Just make the breeze in a wider variety of colors!! The Lorelei Emme has a tab that goes to past the edge of the shoe on the top of the instep and it pokes my foot each time I take a step. Quite uncomfortable. I see other reviewers liking this shoe very much so I am assuming that they don't have this problem and the Lorelei just hits me wrong. So I'll just continue to wear the Circuit Breeze even though I would have liked a pair in a different color than the limited two that are being offered in that style. Too bad for me.

I am a size 6.5 to 7 usually with somewhat wide feet though I don't usually have to buy specifically wide shoes. I ordered these in a 7 and they fit great. I am returning them though because the material on the inside around all the edges is rough/scratchy and uncomfortable. The footbed is very comfortable though.

I was so happy to find these shoes, they looked like the perfect spring/summer walk about casual shoe that wasn't a sneaker... but I couldn't have been more disappointed. The quality was awful and I was shocked. I equate Merrell to high quality and attention to detail to ensure comfort. The seams on the inside of the shoe were so sharp and rough I could barely stand it on my bare foot, so I tried it with a ped, still no good. You would need to wear socks with these in order for you feet to not get ripped up and blistered. I don't think this was the intent with this style and personally I think that would not look good at all so I am returning them.

This is my second pair of these sneaker/shoes. I do put a thin insole underneath the footbed for extra cushioning, but I can walk comfortably all over town on concrete in these. I have high arches and the extra insole gives me the stability I need. These have moderate arch support without the insole. Because of the extra padding I lay in, I ordered an 8 1/2 instead of my usual size 8. I wear them with leggings, dresses and shorts. They are very cute. Mine normally last 2 to 3 summers with lots of wear. I have not found a more supportive or cuter brand to replace sneakers. Usually the shoes are adorable but have no arch support, or have excellent arch support but are chunky. So this is it for now. By the way, the next addition, the Merrell Crush Glove MJ is made of all man-made material, so I will be eager to read the reviews. This earlier version is partially leather, so the shoes have some give and last a long time.

I purchased this style after wearing the MJ Circuit Breeze. I loved the Breeze, but after wearing them for some time, the wear of my little toes/toenails against the mesh made holes. I think it was because the shoes, while exceedingly comfortable, were not structured. Hence, the holes. I am hopeful that these shoes, with the suede bumpers will hold up better. Both are exceedingly comfortable, with or without inserts. I recommend both. These shoes have a trimmer toe box, which make them a bit more feminine. They can gap a bit.

Love this shoe but the suede on the toes wore down very quickly and within a couple of weeks, the shoes looked quite worn.

Not a pretty shoe but great for walking! A little wide for my more narrow foot. Thank goodness for the adjustable strap.

I would have ordered these if they didnt have the white stripes along the bottoms - way too "B-Ball" looking. Im looking for a cute walking shoe so I went with Merrill Circuit MJ Breeze that's all black instead.

These shoes are really nice, however the in-sole is so thin. I had to go out and spend more for something better. I sorry to say as much as I love Merrill's, their in-soles are really thin and useless. I am wearing my bright blue lace ups and had to do the same thing. Help Merrill, we need help out here!

I love Merrell's and most of the time I wear a 5.5 but these are too big. I will try a size 5, because they are very good looking.

The orange is not as bright as pictured. I ordered size 7 and they were extremely big. The shoe says it is 7 but it looked like they were size 8.

I went to a marathon recently and needed shoes I could walk in that looked stylish but would be comfortable the entire weekend. I chose these shoes and they are soooo comfortable! I now have them in 3 colors and know I will wear them out.

These are super light and comfortable. I was a bit skeptical about the color after they arrived but ended up wearing them everyday on our vacation. I can walk and walk and my feet never get tired. They provide great support. I absolutely love them.

My first time trying the Merrell brand. I bought these lightweight shoes as a cool alternative to sneakers, and they are all I wished for and more! I needed more "foot protection" than sandals give for lots of walking between public transportation stops while on vacation in Bermuda. These shoes taper a good bit in the front-perfect for me. They seem to be well-made, as you would expect for the cost.

This was my second purchase of Merrells. I like these but thought that the fit was a little tight around the top of the foot. Great support. Overall, a good purchase but I do like the fit of my Merrell Circuit Breeze a bit more.

I think this is a very comfortable shoe. The first time I wore them however, I got a blister at the top back of one shoe. I put in an innersole, to change where the shoe hits me at the point and now they are fine.

Cute shoe. I like the color. But these ones are not as comfortable as my last pair of Merrell in this same style. :( Not sure if I was unlucky of if Merrell changed something. I still like the shoe. Just not in love with them as much as I was with my pink pair.

This is a really cute shoe that would be supremely comfortable for someone who doesn't have a lot of foot problems. They fit my othotic insert easily, but don't have a ton of ankle support. I guess that's the price you pay for a nice looking shoe!

Really wanted to like these, as I love my Merrell Tetralaunch boots, but the toe box tapers too much on this shoe. And my feet aren't that wide. And the next half size up would have been too big. The arch support seemed pretty decent, though! Alas, sent them back.
