Customer Reviews Merrell Encore Eclipse 2

I wanted a comfortable pair of shoes to wear with pants for work. The soles of these shoes squeak so much on a bare floor I would be embarrassed walking in anywhere.

I had a pair of these for about 10 years and loved them, other than the fact that they scuffed very easily. They were great casual shoes that I could wear on long walks. I finally decided to order a new pair and was so sad to see that they have drastically changed this shoe. I ordered the same size I had before and I could barely get my foot into it. I could tell by the stitching and the materials that they make the shoe differently now. It less depth and less width; it is a completely different shoe! Such a huge disappointment! Needless to say, I sent them back (thanks, Zappos!).

I am a fan of Merrell shoes and have had a pair of these exact shoes for more than 10 years. They are showing wear and I wanted to get a new pair so I ordered these in the summer of 2015 from Zappos. Merrell has completely changed the fit of this shoe! I ordered the same size I already have at home and I could barely get my foot into the new shoe. The problem for me was the width and depth of the toe box. I was so disappointed. I would have loved to have a new pair of these shoes. I hope this doesn't become a trend with Merell.

I thought these shoes were terrible. I wore Klogs previously and thought they were good shoes, but they scratched easily so I was looking to try other shoes. These shoes have no foot support and feel stiff and cheap. I am going back to the Klogs. At least they were comfortable.

I am a long-time Merrell wearer, and I think these shoes are terribly uncomfortable. I have only worn them 3-4 times and experience terrible foot pain after wearing them, so bad to the point that my foot continues to hurt for 2-3 days after. I have noticed in my last couple pairs that Merrells are not fitting the way they used to. If this is the trend, I will be buying something else from now on. I don't think I can return these after wearing and I am very sad to be out this much for something that I absolutely cannot wear.

I really liked the look of this shoe and I love Merrell shoes. Unfortunately this specific shoe is not comfortable. Specifically the right shoe. I don't know if it's a defect or just the style of the shoe.
