Customer Reviews Merrell Encore Breeze 3

I have purchased the winter Merrell clogs and have loved them! They offer great support and I can wear them morning to night with no problems. Not so with these great for short term wearing but definitely not an all day clog. Little disappointed for the price.

I have had several pairs of these. I have loved them and kept replacing them when they finally wore out. Perfect slip-ons with sneaker comfort, and the mesh keeps them cool. Great for travel, commuting, and just walking around. However I was disappointed in this latest version because they didn't fit the same--narrower and longer than prior pairs of the same size. I had to send them back.

I've worn Merrells for years because the orthotic fits in them. I get a C width if it's available. These were really huge--like a size bigger everywhere instead of just wider. Returning for the B, and hope it isn't too narrow.

I have been wearing my new Merrell Encore Breeze 3 shoes now for 2 weeks. They are a real disappointment. I own at least 4 other (older versions) of this shoe - and have gone through more than that - I have been wearing them for years and years. This recent version is stiffer, narrower and has a shorter rise along the back heel which causes your foot to occasionally slide out of the shoe. This never happened with the older versions of this shoe. I am really bummed that Merrell has chosen to make a cheaper less comfortable version of this shoe which has been so amazing for so many years. I was going to say I wish they made this shoe in better colors but unless they switch back to a more cushioned, more comfortable version of this shoe I will need to look for a different shoe - probably from another manufacturer.

The original encore breeze was the best. Each iteration of this shoe has become less and less comfortable for my foot. I will I could find a supply of the original encore...I would buy several pairs.

Really love these shoes but there is bizarre sizing for them. The size 8 was too long and the 7.5 was too short and too tight. Unfortunately not the shoe for me.

I've been ordering Merrell Encore Breeze shoes for many years but this is my first Encore Breeze 3. It doesn't fit at all like my previous shoes. The whole shoe feels narrower. What a disappointment.

Been wearing this same shoe for over a decade. They are not made the same. Not enough cushioning. Uncomfortable. I am sad.

Previous comments are correct. The current model does not fit the same as prior ones. Heel does slip.

I have had several pair on the encore breeze and have always loved them. the last pair I purchased is very different. The shoe is uncomfortable. The tops are hard and not flexible. I wish I could get another pair of the older model. I probably will not purchase anymore of this shoe.

This shoe really runs large. I ordered a size 10 my normal size and it was huge, so I exchanged it for a 9&1/2 and that was still too large. Hesitant to order again.

Love the shoes, ordered two sizes at once and the 6 was dreadfully small and the 6.5 sounded like flip flops when I walked. I just think some shoes don't fit some people, although I have no problem with Cole Haan or Clarks; or Aerosoles, for that matter. Hated to send them back The feedback question left input for "this shoe." I tried to check for both but it would not let me.

Something is wrong. I've been wearing Merrells for years and always, always wear a 9M. I literally could not get my foot in this shoe. I have a high instep but that hasn't been a problem in the past - they've been snug at first, but no problem in getting in them. I'm going to try a 9.5 and a 10 in hopes that one fits - I absolutely love this color (spicy orange) and adore this style of Merrells. They're my go-to shoe when plantar fasciitis rears its ugly head, and they're great for walking. My rating on this shoe is incomplete since I couldn't get in it.

So disappointed in the last 3 pair of Merrells. They've changed the shape of the shoe and it no longer works for me. After years of wearing only Merrells, I have had to abandon my former favorites.

I have the Breeze 3 in all colors from a couple years ago - they fit well, are comfortable and the go to shoe that accommodates an orthotic innersole well. They were less this summer and they are more now. Would do the hike in price, BUT they also are a different cut, and a different material for the mesh. The W is narrower and a stiff fabric, a big disappointment. Some like the narrower toe, less "duck like", but it was great for problem toes. Ordered a different size, but the fit isn't there. Sent them back - sad that Merrill had to change materials and fit as they WERE a wonderful shoe for those of us with foot issues. Looking for a good replacement now.

I really wanted to like these shoes. I am going to Florida for a few months and need something I can slip on to walk the dog. I have other Merrell Encores that I love, but these just do not fit properly; they both slip at the heel, and are much too tight across the instep. I am afraid that they are going back.

I loved the Merrell Encore Breeze 2 and ordered the Encore Breeze 3 when they wore out. The Encore Breeze 3 is narrower and shorter than the Encore Breeze 2 was so I had to return them. I love the style and comfort of Merrell shoes, but wish they had used the same last for these.

Love the Silver Birch color which is a light beige. Unfortunately they run large and that's why I'm returning. I usually wear a 10 1/2 or 11 but it seems that I wear a 10 in this style of Merrell. For some reason each version of this style fits differently!

I ordered these in the size that I always purchase, size 9. However they run very large. I had at least a full ½" of room. The shoes are somewhat comfortable, but not if you are standing on your feet for a long period of time.

I've been wearing these shoes for years, through many different generations of the style. It's always been a great fit, so I was excited to see the Encore Breeze 3 series come out. Unfortunately, it's a severe disappointment. After trying my usual size 10 (too short) and going up a size to 10.5 (way too big and an unexpectedly large jump from the half-size smaller), I've had to return them all. The difference between this style and the Breeze 2 is huge. I found the arch support in the Breeze 3 - something I absolutely need - much flattened. Also, the footbed seems different and hits me in too many wrong spots. All in all, unbearable for my feet. I'm bummed - the colors are great and the style's really cute.
