Great shoes; very cool looking and comfortable. As with many pumps and slip-ons, I find I need to order a half-size down. I need to exchange them to get that smaller size.

I am not a Heels Girl, so these are perfect for when I need to wear heels. I normally wear a 10.5; I ordered in size 10 and they fit great. I think they look good on my feet also.

This was my first pair of Merrell shoes. I've worn their sandals before and like them. I found this shoe to look clunky on my foot, possibly just too much shoe. I normally wear a size 8, but found these to be too large and they seemed wide as well. I'm trying to decide whether to try the next size down or move on, so I can't really recommend them at this time.

Just what I was looking for - a Merrell that is dressy The style in no way diminishes the comfort...and the size is perfect.

Wouldn't stay on my feet - heel too wide. No narrow available. :-(

The shoe looks great. Tried it and is runs really long. I would need a 1/2 smaller. :(

This shoe is a little big for me. I ordered a 7 1/2 and it was a little big. Based on reviews I order a 7 to see if that was better, bu the 7 was a bit too small. I guess I am between sizes and trying to decide whether to keep these shoes. I like the styling and comfort.

The reviews here were a big help in choosing the correct size. Normally in Merrell clogs I wear size 8. I do have a pair of Merrell Veranda short boots in 7.5, so I thought this might work. These shoes look a bit like Minnie Mouse pumps, but not in a bad way. I will never be wearing pointy stilettos again. It's good to have a comfortable shoe that I can wear with a suit or dress. My Merrell boots took some breaking in, and needed arch supports. I also added a thicker Merrell insole, which can be ordered. I am using a thin arch support now that I have tried these on,just on my smaller foot. Will see how they break in. My boots feel super comfortable after their break in, and I think these will, too. They are not bad now, just a little stiff. It will be interesting to see if I need stick on heel grips in the back when I wear nylons or tights. I have an unused set that are pretty thick, but these shoes would probably need thinner ones.

I bought this shoe because I walk and stand hours at a time. While it does give heel and arch support..there is not enough cushion on the ball of your foot. I will keep the shoe but I will have to add a shoe insert for additional cushion. It is true to size I wear a 9.

These shoes just didn't look as dressy-casual as the picture, and with the round toe, seemed a bit short (Although maybe that's because I'd planned to wear them with socks). I decided to return them, but am still rating them high for overall and comfort--someone else might like them more than I did.

I actually really liked this shoe and had a difficult time deciding whether or not to return it. I ended up sending it back, only because it doesn't quite meet my needs at this time. However, I will say it is an extremely comfortable shoe and actually looks much nicer on one's feet than in the photo. The leather looks to be of high quality. I needed a shoe that I can wear for work, as I stand for long hours in front of an audience and must look professional. I was concerned that the shoe might be a bit "old lady-ish," but that is not the case. With a knee-length dress, the shoe looks sharp. You can't beat the fit and comfort. I like that it has high-heel functionality without being a high-heel. I will say the shoe feels a little heavy when you pick it up, but on my feet I did not notice this. I may end up ordering it again at a later point, but for now it isn't quite what I need.

I loved the overall style of this shoe. I always have worn a 9M but found these to be too tight. I tried only wearing nylons with them as trouser socks were too thick. That solved some of the problem but I will take them to a cobbler for a stretch of the vamp and to see if he can get my toes some breathing room.

They fit me a bit loose, a good thing since I had to add front gel inserts after much walking. That said, they are a good shoe for the city where it can be wet and grimy. I plan to make them my only shoe packed on a European trip this summer.

Hate these shoes, which is a surprise for a pair of Merrell's. The heel is high enough it pushes my foot forward and leaves a gap at the heal. The shoe is cut low enough that it irritates my bunion. I am very disappointed, as it didn't look like it would hit that part of my foot when viewing it on-line. Really not that comfortable.

The shoes are beautiful and very comfortable. They seem to be made for a wide foot and mine is not so I have to wear heavy socks in order not to walk out of them.

Not as comfortable as Jungle Mocs, but definitely dressier. I thought they ran on the small side, but then I need a wide. It does cut a bit over the instep on me, but I could wear for several hours as long as I wore with hose.

I ordered these in size 8, my usual, but they were too big so I re-ordered in 7.5, which are too small. They seem like wonderful shoes but they just don't work for me. Darn.

I usually wear a 7.5-8 in dress shoes and 8.5 in boots/trainers. There was no size 8 available, so I thought I would be okay with the 7.5 based on others' reviews of ordering a 1/2 size smaller. My toe came right to the end and would have been snug if I'd wanted to wear stockings. So I'm returning. Was hoping for a comfy, low heel to trudge around an airport in, since I travel for work.

I really do like these shoes, but they are just a bit too big. I was going to return them, but was afraid the next size down would be too small. Instead, I just put a couple of toe pads in them (two in the right one) and hoped for the best. I wear them, but they're not an ideal fit. Probably should have just returned the size 6 and ordered a 5 1/2 instead. I want to give them five stars, but can't do that, unfortunately.

I was looking for a casual comfortable look but dressy enough for the office. I think it is but the fit isn't right for my feet. My foot slips out of it as I walk. It is also a heavy weight shoe. I am returning the shoes.

These are beautiful shoes. I bought the 9, 9½, and the 10. They all hit right at the bone on the side of the big toe. They may fit someone without wide feet, but not me. I am very disappointed because it is beautiful leather and a great hiking around town heel.

Very well made. Also they seemed a little staid. The materials are great but they are heavy! They fit really well and I would have kept them if they had been a little more feminine.

Very comfortable, except it seems to stretch as you wear it. Becomes hard to keep on my feet. Bought an inner sole and hope it helps.
