Customer Reviews Merrell Azura Wrap

I found these to be excellent! I love the look but more importantly they are comfortable! I like kind of funky athletic shoes and these are them!

I like a lot of things about this shoe, but I do wish it came in half sizes. The footbed is ridiculously comfortable, the tread is great, and the toe box is comfortable. I have a wide, high volume foot, and this fits me well in that regard-- (if you have narrow feet, this is probably not a good choice for you). My issue is that the back velcro does not adjust sufficiently to keep the back strap securely in place for me. I have enough room in the toe to go down a half size, but not full size. This shoe is a great choice to try, and I'm sorry to not be able to keep it.

I have two pairs now. I LOVE both. I have narrow feet. They are a bit wide, but that's the story of my life. Other than that, they are wonderful to wear to work (I stand a lot), and for walking. I love the stylish, sporty look. I wish there were more color combinations with black, and I wish they had dark brown/brown -- they would be mine, ALL mine!

Needed some sandal shoes for hot weather, but to protect a broken toe! These work well. i often wear a 9-1/2, but the 10 was too big, 9 was plenty roomy for my low volume foot. I like them.

I bought these shoes after a long search for something waterproof for a trip to the Caribbean. The plusses: they're highly adjustable (though it takes a bit to get them just right), nice looking, and have an outstanding outsole. I loved these for hiking and scrambling around on craggy rocks--very stable, and the bottoms still look good as new. I also jumped in the ocean with these--they're not as good for that purpose (a little heavy and took awhile to dry). I had a little issue with waterproofing on one of the shoes, and Zappos fixed the problem immediately. 5 stars for customer service!

Well this one was my own fault - if you have wide feet I will save you the same trouble. This shoe, adorable as it is for an outdoor sandal, does not come in wide. Yes, the ankle straps are highly adjustable but notice the toe box is not. I got the raspberry color which was very pretty - I literally said "ooooh!" out loud when I unboxed them! But it was not meant to be. If you should be ordering wide, look for sandals with an adjustable front strap - which a lot of other Tevas do have - or an open toe.

I like these shoes. I bought them for summer work shoes. I stand a lot on concrete floors. I've worn them to work twice. They probably aren't going to be as supportive as I thought, though for general wear, I know I will wear them. I usually wear size 8.5, I got a 9 and they are just right, with roomy toes. I have some difficulty with the fasteners too, but if I release the Velcro across the top of the foot, the fasteners open easier. I would really like better arch support.

I love the style, color (Wild Dove) and the comfort, but unfortunately the buckle doesn't work on either shoe. It's so stiff that I can't open it at all. I asked my husband to try it and he couldn't open it either. But - rather than return the shoes because I like so much about them - I can put the shoe on by loosening the top adjustable velcro strap. Seems kind of dumb that Merrell makes buckles that don't work, but this work-around is OK for me. I wear an 8.5 and I ordered both the 8 and the 9 to see which fit better. The way to go is to get the size smaller if you wear a half size. All the straps are adjustable and it was easy for me to get the size 8 to become an 8.5. The size 9 was too big and I couldn't make it smaller by adjusting the straps. One more negative thing - there is a built-in low ridge that I assume is meant to provide support across the base of your toes. I don't think this is a place where most people need foot support and if it doesn't line up with your "toe line" then it feels like you're walking on a stick going across the ball of your foot. By adjusting the heel strap I was able to get that support ridge where it should be so it's fine for me.

These are super cute and don't look clunky on the foot. However while this shoe got a 71% moderate arch support my foot couldn't feel it!! If you look at the pictures close enough you can see an obvious lack of arch support, I didn't do that before ordering and instead went on the reviews. Big mistake! If you don't need arch support I would highly recommend these!

This fits well. The color is neutral but fun with a touch of the light orange. I am returning the shoe because the markings on the foot bed bother my feet. Also, I do not like the plastic foot bed.

The toe box has ample room for toes, but the vamp doesn't come up high enough over the knuckles on my feet. Maybe it's just my feet, but most shoes these days have such low cut vamps that they're not comfortable.

I love these shoes except for one thing. The velcro fasteners are too short. I have to pull the strap almost all the way for a snug fit, and it barely catches the velcro. Sometimes a strap will come undone while I walk.

SO sad to send these back. I bought one pair early this summer - seemed great: super adjustable; cute; breathable; good fit on my size 11 feet (narrow heels, wide toe box); sturdy soles. Thinking I might've found a shoe that made my picky feet happy, I bought a second pair as a back-up / alternate color. Unfortunately, after wearing the original pair for awhile, I discovered the fit makes my feet too sore. Not enough arch support, too flat, and the contour of the sole is off for me. Bummer. The search continues...

I would have given this shoe 5 stars except for two reasons. The quick release buckle is anything but quick; fortunately the Velcro ankle strap makes it easier to take the shoe on and off. Also, it could have a versatile dressy look but the ankle strap (and that buckle) make it look like an athletic shoe.

Love the look, cool slick design, but the soles are harder than expected. Unfortunately, these didn't fit right and not enough arch support which my feet must have.

Comfortable shoe; however the toe box is very wide. But if you are walking a lot, it allows for some swelling. The shoe does stay on the foot very securely and has a nice comfy foot bed. Walked all over Las Vegas in these shoes and they were very supportive and didn't hurt my feet. No blisters, etc.

These shoes are practical and even a little cute, but mostly practical, kind of mom in a long denim skirty. There is an unfortunate ridge molded in for your toes, it seems unnecessary to me. It was almost irritating enough on my toes that I returned them, but after a day it really isn't noticeable. I'm excited to travel with them, they fit great and seem rugged enough to put to good use.

I love Merrell shoes and was disappointed when the Mary Jane sandal I bought 4 years ago was discontinued. I was very excited to try the Azura. It is very cute (not clunky) and I wanted it to fit comfortably and feel support, but to be honest, it is probably a B in both departments. The shoe is more comfortable with socks. Without socks, I can feel a seam on the ball of my foot. It is a good, not great, walking shoe. I was hoping to travel with them, but will probably not. I think I need to keep looking.

I loved these shoes for quality, design and fit, but one strap near by big toe was too tight and cut into my right foot. My left foot is wider than my right and strangely enough, it fit great. Darn!

Comfortable water shoe that also works for hiking! This is my second pair - I wore out the first pair because I was wearing them all the time. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is the green strap. I want my shoes to be totally neutral color so I can wear them with any color outfit.

I love these shoes. Since they arrived on 6/11/14, I have worn them every single day for 10-14 hours at a go. They're super comfy and completely adjustable at the ankle which is awesome if your ankles swell up a bit in hot weather (as one of mine does). I have flat feet, but the arch support is adequate and I've walked around museums and cities in them for hours with no discomfort. My only unhappiness is that, after wearing them so unwaveringly since 6/11, my baby toes have both worn holes in the mesh webbing and now I need to buy a new pair. (Perhaps two new pairs, to wear in rotation, so they last longer?)

I bought this shoe after trying many contenders...the Keen, the J41, for example. I have metatarsalgia and need a good footbed, and structure under the metatarsals. This shoe provides that. However, I have narrow, long feet. The velcro around the top of the shoe was not long enough. Luckily I'm creative and I was able to sew some black velcro onto the strap so that I could pull it tight enough to fit me.

I have worn Merrell shoes for several years and loved them. This year I ordered my usual size 10 and they were way too small; I had to exchange them for an 11 which did fit. I still wear a 10 in other brands. I did not find these as comfortable as other Merrell shoes. There was no give or spring in these shoes; the soles are very hard compared to my other Merrells.

These are cute shoes. I have wide feet so I went up a size hoping they would fit. But they were still a bit short and too narrow for me so I had to return them. They are not dark purple, much closer to magenta or deep pink. I was disappointed with the color.

This is a cute water shoe/sandal, but the buckle was defective on the left shoe; it kept coming undone when I walked in the house. Also, the stitching on the edge of the shoe dug into the instep on my right foot. Have to send it back.
