Most comfortable shoe I've ever worn! I have a bunion and need a wide toe box, but my heels are narrow. These fit perfectly. Give me a little extra room but don't slide on my heel. The name is appropriate. They wear like a glove right out of the box. Ordering another pair today. Zappos service is fantastic!

These are nice looking. I found them to run a bit small so I had to order up 1/2 size. The sole is very thin without any arch. Be careful on a smooth wet surface. You can slip.

Amazing zero drop/minimal shoes that are business casual. Still wearing 7 years after purchasing. Got multiple colors because of what a good find they were. Don't know what I'll replace these with - haven't yet found a pair from any brand that are comparable in comfort and style. Why did they discontinue these? Merrell was so ahead of the game when they designed these!

Pretty true to size, maybe slightly shorter from heel to toe. Love the look. They should last a year or two.

I ordered a 1/2 size larger based on previous reviews and because I require a larger toe area and space for a 3/16 heel insert. Overall they are very comfortable but I'm hoping that by continuing wearing them the toe area will stretch a bit more. I am missing a right big toe nail and have learned to ignore some sensitivity in the toe. The embossed floral pattern is beautifully done and I wouldn't mind having the shoes in another color.

A great-looking, comfortable shoe. I wanted a shoe with the comfort of an athletic shoe but dressed up enough to wear for "dressier" occasions. I wore these to walk a good distance from the train to a orchestra performance and they served me well. I walked my dog later along a local road and had no issues. I have two hammer toes and many shoes given such a workout would have started to rub, but not these.

Bought this for traveling. It goes with jeans and a nice dinner outfit equally well. Great for long days sightseeing on cobblestones, all day comfort, good grip & great style. This is a serious walking shoe. Runs a bit large, I'd order a half-size smaller next time.

These are so comfortable, nice looking and they fit like a glove. After receiving these, I wore them all day without a complaint. I have two pairs, the black and brown. They are great shoes.

I have been looking for a pair of shoes to wear in place of ballet flats for winter and these are perfect. With a lambswool insert, I don't need socks and they are warm and toasty. Not only is the leather beautiful, they are soft and comfortable right out of the box. I do a lot of walking and these are great. Now Merrell needs to make a version for warmer weather with the same barefoot sole and soft leather.

These are very comfortable. Let my feet and ankles Do what they need to naturally. Not cushiony, but supportive. My new favorites. Have them in brown and black.

I concur with the other reviewers that this is a surprisingly comfortable shoe. I'm tired of clog-like shoes and was up for something really comfortable after joint replacement surgery in one foot. This fits like a glove. The Vibram sole ensures a long lasting sole and safe stepping. The leather scrollwork adds interest and is attractive. They make my size 7.5 feet look tiny and make me feel like I'm walking on air.

These are the best shoes ever! They aren't really shoes even, they are just what I put on my feet when I'm not in bed. I originally bought these as a work shoe because my plantar fasciitis had gotten so bad, some days I had trouble walking if I wore the wrong shoes. I loved them right out of the box because of the way they looked. Then after I put a small insert in them and started wearing them, my plantar fasciitis is getting so much better! These shoes are the first shoes I've found that are truly healing my feet. And I only buy good quality, flat shoes. As I said above they are the things I put on my feet when I'm not in bed.

One of best pair of shoes I've ever owned. Light weight, ease of putting on, nice leatherwork. Attractive, I also own the slide-version. The arch seems to be in a different place. This one takes a little getting used to, but is fine.

Love Merrells and bought these due to the reviews. I wouldn't ordinarily go to such a flat shoe but it is like putting on a glove. More the good news is there is a Vibram sole to protect you during long days of wear. Out of the box I was walking miles on a recent trip. My feet look petite in them and I feel light as a feather.

First off, I should tell you I have really difficult to fit feet. The front of my foot is a bit wide (I go barefoot a lot), though my heel is narrow. I tend to get a 6 in shoes, but I ended up returning the 6 for a 5.5 for these Merrell Jungle Glove Bloom (Zappos' free shipping and returns is awesome!). The heel was still made too big for me on the 5.5, but I loved the shoes so much everywhere else that I just put in a heel insert in to keep my feet from slipping up and down. The toe box could have been made wider (especially since they're barefoot-style shoes), but it's okay. I love the style of the shoes and wear them to work (business casual atmosphere). I actually got these shoes so I'd have a healthy and stylish alternative to heels. I'd definitely recommend these! Just be aware that if you have a narrow heel, you may have to get some padded inserts to stick in the back.

Love these shoes. They don't have much support so although walking is comfortable throughout the day, I am not sure I could use them for real long walks. But they are attractive and very comfortable. Thinking about getting another pair. They do run 1 size too big and I didn't listen to the other reviews and had to send back and reorder.

I ordered these shoes a few weeks ago, tried them on, and have not taken them off since. My foot is wide in the front and narrow in the heel. Love these shoes.

Cute but was expecting the same arch support that is in the Jungle Moc. I kept these and at first regretted it, but now they are growing on me. I like the style, but it took some time to get used to the slipper-like feel of the minimal arch support. (I chose Merrill because of the great arch support usually present in their shoes.)

Well, I listened to the reviews that said these run big and ordered a half size down. They are too short. Fit well otherwise, but not as comfortable as I like. Wish they had more cushion in the footbed. I ordered the equinox and burgundy and think the blue is gorgeous. The burgundy pair is a bit plastic-y looking and feeling (I came back to Zappos to make sure they were leather) and the color on the pair I got is uneven. Not sure I will reorder that one. But the embossing really is nice and different. Hope the next size up fits.

Very comfortable, wide enough, not to push against my bunion. The soles are not as thick as I would prefer, is my only concern.

These are very good looking shoes, but not much support on the foot. They are hard but really pretty. Great style but less comfortable than what I would have expected for this brand.

I really wanted to keep this shoe, I can tolerate a little discomfort, but I couldn't make it work. Wearing thin socks the shoe had no comfort and caused too much pain, with a thicker comfy sock the shoe was too narrow. I tried the next size up and the shoe was so narrow and long, the toe area had unused space, causing a clown look and tripping. I wear a women's 9 to 11 in various brands, but wonder what percentage of tall women have such a long narrow foot. If the shoe is made so narrow, why not offer a wide size? Also, I don't like the different color rubber sole, why can't they find a closer match?
