I've worn Merrells for years, mostly different Encore styles and generations. I've gotten past the idea that they'll be different from one generation to the next - sometimes the new model works, sometimes it doesn't (which is very frustrating). Bottom line: I keep coming back to Merrells because when they fit properly, they work so well with my picky feet! The thing that's harder to deal with is Merrell's seemingly weak quality control from one pair (or one shoe) to the next. I've now tried nine different pairs of this shoe in two different colors, all the same size, in order to get a few pairs of a consistent size 10-1/2 that fit properly. I wish it didn't take such an effort. But thank you, Zappos, for making the back and forth so easy!

I have three pairs of these and I really like them except for one thing.
The top band has worn out on all three even though they're still wearable. OK to wear at home but embarrassing when out and about. Half black and half greyish fabric.
I have tried black shoe polish and markers to no avail. Maybe buying a leather version would not have the same. problem. I don't remember this happening on older pairs.
Hope this isn't a duplicate.

Really liked the shoe but the sizing is incorrect. I always wear a size 8 and the 8 in the Merrell is too big. I need to order a size 7 1/2.

I have owned already 4 pairs of the encore breeze and they last quite awhile considering that I wear them at work, I am a massage therapist and of course spend a lot of time on my feet. I do have to add a specific insole because my arches are extremely high and have developed a lot of sensitivity over the years.
However the last pair I bought a few years ago to help me keep one pair at the Spa where I work and have another pair for my private practice has a creaking sound with every step. I thought it would subside with time but has not and now my plan of not having to carry a extra pair of shoes to work is not working. I do have a problem with one of my foot so my choices are very limited. I kept wearing the older pair that does not make the creaking sound but of course this pair now is too old and I cannot wear them anymore as they hurt.
I wish I and returned the ones that creak with every step and gotten another pair as soon as I noticed the problem . Aside from this problem this is a very good shoes and I like that they are very light and have a good support.

This is a really nice shoe. I haven't had a great success record with Merrell shoes and probably won't be buying anymore, but I have to say this shoe is much better than the other two pairs I've tried. It's fairly comfortable (I still think they could add a little more give or cushion to the sole of the shoe), and it fits perfectly. I would recommend this shoe. Which would be a first for me.

I own 3 pair of the encore breeze. Have been wearing this model for the past 6 years every day. Would have nothing else. Hooray for Merrell!

I replaced a pair of Breeze 2s with these Breeze 3s. I was anticipating not to like these, especially given the reviews by prior lovers of Breeze 2s. Yes, the Breeze 3s fit a little differently but they are still really comfy, light, easily packable, can get wet and survive. I think I do prefer the fit of the Breeze 2...but given that the Breeze 2s are no longer available, I'll keep the Breeze 3s.

This is the 4th pair of Encore Breeze that i have bought from Zappos and I have 4 pairs of black and brown for the winter. Those shoes are wonderful when your feet are tired and you need a change. I also bought a pair of slide to use as slippers. Those are my basics: the other fancy shoes are for show.

The snickers are very easy to slip on as I take my dog walking. They are comfortable & simple looking. They coordinate well with casual wear.

I bought these shoes because I need a slip on after I have a hip replacement. I was disappointed because they were a bit sloppy on so I will be returning them. Color and fabric was well represented by the photo.

I needed a shoe to slip on quick so this seemed like the perfect thing. The dragging dragonfly color was more of a blue-teal than a green-teal. The size 8 was a bit more snug than the size 8s I wear in all other shoes, so I'm hoping they become less tight as I wear them in.

This is my fourth pair of Merrell Encore shoes. With the mesh breathability. light weight, and arch support, it is very hard to wear any other shoes on my feet.Real comfort, and at the same time attractive too. Other colors such as turquoise and spicy orange are beackoning to me!

Purchased these in size 8 although I often need an 8 1/2. They were way too long and fell of my feet. I thought the foot bed was comfortable but will return them.

I'd been looking for these shoes all over town and couldn't find them. Not sure why I didn't think to try zappo's first; they always come through.

This pair of Merrell Encore Breeze shoes, are the second pair for me. I still have the first pair and loved them from the first day. Everywhere I go people ask about them. Even my grandson liked them! I have wide feet and arthritis, so I always get W or WW, so my feet have plenty of wiggle room. This last pair, however, doesn't have the comfort I had with the first pair. I find myself going through a long 'break in' stage. I believe the Wide is less wide than my first pair.

Seems like a great shoe. They do run large. I am returning a 6.5 for a 6. Very happy with the width (W). Not easy to come by. I am waiting impatiently for the smaller size to arrive.

I have worn these shoes to work as a library associate for the past 8 years. They are great for standing for long periods of time. However this pair is not as comfortable as the Breeze 2 and is narrower. Sad they changed something that was working so well before.

These clogs are terrifically comfortable, with excellent support. I keep my older pair for wearing in the house and after two years they are still in great condition, with minimal wear at the heel and in the lining. They do breathe so are fine in the summer. I ordered a 2d pair, but because the product information inside the uppers is so tiny, I could not read the size and didn't remember that I needed a smaller size than my usual size 9/40. The new pair came quickly, I realized that I needed the next size down, and returned the shoes. I've been waiting now for almost two weeks with no information from Merrell about my request for an exchange.

Merrell's are the best for comfort and support. Usually the moment I put them on they are perfect in comfort. This time I gave 4 stars as I feel they need some breaking in now, but still I highly recommend these shoes. I have a foot issue and I wear these ALL the time.

This is my 2nd pair of the Breeze 3. They are very comfortable on my wide foot with high arches. I can wear them all day with no pain or pressure on my bunions. Love the breeze effect. You get just the right amount of air for your feet to breath.
