Customer Reviews Merrell Veranda

I always like to own a decent pair of dressier walking shoes. My last ones wore out so I ordered these. Nice style and color. Major problem is sizing. They seemed a bit large at first, but now that I've worn them, can can't return them they are very large, at least if not more than 1 size. I am a virtually perfect size 6 and don't have trouble getting shoes. I also felt the arch support was too far back towards the heel to be useful.

I bought these shoes hoping that they would be perfect for wearing to trade shows. I am a fairly solid size 6 in almost any shoes but I had to do a double take when I tried them on - I thought that I had been sent the wrong size. They are too big and currently Zappos does not have the smaller size in stock so I am back on the hunt for perfect trade show shoes.

Bought the shoe in the burgundy color. Didn't like it at all. It looked more plastic than leather. Runs 1/2 size big. Very comfortable, though.

Cute shoe for casual wear. Comfortable at points other than the toe box and the beginning of my arch. I have narrow feet and usually have to use a heel pad to take up some space so my heel doesn't lift out of the shoe, but with this shoe I didn't need to do so because the toe box was so (too) snug. The arch hit at an uncomfortable place on my left foot. If you don't have these problems, the shoe overall could be very comfortable. Plus, I ordered two different pairs of the same size so if they were comfortable I could pick the best pair. Quality control varies. I would have kept one pair but returned the other because the other pair had a couple noticeable defects in the leather. One pair was lighter in tone that the other. I would have preferred the darker, richer burgundy pair but that was also the pair with the leather defects. And as always, I love Zappos!

These shoes did not fit well and pinched in several areas -- the top and also at the heel. There was something that rubbed on the inside arch, like a stone, although I couldn't find it to clear it out.

Definitely buy a half size down from your normal size. I am usually a 9 and the 9's in this shoe are too big. Unfortunately, I've already worn them outside and probably can't exchange them.

I have worn numerous Merrell shoes and wear an 8, which I got in these. Length was good but they are very wide. I could not keep them on my feet when I walked.They are especially wide in the heel. I am average width in my widest part of my foot and average sized in my heel. Not great arch support, but mine is high so although cute shoes, they didn't work out for me.

This order arrived damaged and/or the material of the sole is falty. The sizing of the in inaccurate (too big in the heel). Quite uncomfortable.

Merrell is one of my favorite brands but this shoe slides when it hits a wet pavement. I felt it slipping a little, and then the next thing I knew I was flat on my back. It was a hill but I've walked down this hill several times a day for seven years and never fallen and it was definitely the shoe. It's a sturdy looking shoe that I bought for days when the weather wasn't so great and now it will probably never leave my closet again.
