Customer Reviews Merrell Terran Convertible II

Very comfortable, like the sole with lots of traction, but was looking for something a little more dressy/sandal-y. Already have a casual shoe like this otherwise I would have kept.

I generally have great luck with Merrell sandals but the strap across the top near my ankle was too short to even close; could not even reach the Velcro on the outside. These may fit better if you have narrower feet, smaller ankles, or a lower arch.

I ordered 3 different Merrells in both 6 and 7 since 6.5(my usual size ) wasn't an option. In all 3, the 7 were better. First, I like the style and super arch support of the the Terran Lattice II best of all. That said, however, I'm sending back all 3 styles in all both sizes. The LatticeII has 3 velcro adjustments, but the heel adjustment is just too long. Sure I could take the shoe to a cobbler and pay to have that fixed, but I shouldn't have to do so and won't at this price. There is also a release mechanism similar to Chaco's, but even my husband struggled to get it open. So even if I could have gotten the straps adjusted, the quick release, was not quick at all! The second shoe is the Siren Strap Q2...a very basic looking sandal. It was a bit narrow for my 55 yr old foot and the middle strap (which has a very tiny bit of elastic on one side), was too snug. The last shoe is the Terran ConvertII. I like the look and it was comfortable enough, but again, it was a bit narrow and did not have the level of arch support that my feet need for all day type wear. I do not have wide feet. I'm on my feet 3/4 of my work day and they have flattened a bit with age,so they just didn't work for me. If you have younger feet, I'm sure these would work well for you.

I always love Merrell shoes, and they usually love me back. I like the very minimal style of this sandal, and the Olive color is subtle and nice. But the velcro strap around the ankle is too thick, and makes my ankle look fat, which it is not. Perhaps, it would be better around the back of the ankle? Most of all the fabric loop around the big toe is about 1/2 inch too long. I can't imagine it would be snug on anyone. I would have to pinch and sew the loop to make it fit my big toe, but I worry that the extra bulk would be uncomfartable between the big toe and the second toe. Not keeping this sandal because of that. Otherwise they are, as usual for Merrells, very comfortable, have great arch support and fit true to size.

These did't have the support I need for my high arch. Going back.

The shoe is attractive; the fit true to size for Merrell. However I found that the ribbon strap around the big toe was uncomfortably scratchy, which was the biggest no for me. The rest of the straps are very soft and non-intrusive. Added to that the somewhat narrow footbed meant my foot was almost over the edges. This is unusual as Merrell usually has a wider base. I found them very lightweight, with a feeling of almost being barefoot as so much of the foot is exposed - in certain occasions this would be a positive. I'm returning these in favor of the more substantial and better fitting Teva Neota I ordered to try on at the same time.

I wanted these shoes to work so badly that I ordered another pair in the same size to see if I could find a fit. It was simply not meant to be. The footbed is very comfortable. The style divine. But the top strap is so long that on the left foot it barely caught the velcro and on the right it didn't catch the velcro at all - on both pairs that I ordered. I do have low volume feet, but I have never struggled this much before.

These would be great except all Merrell's seem to have the toe bridge, and it hits under the ball of my foot instead of where I need it to hit. Sadly, they have to go back.

Cute and comfortable, however, the footbed across the toes was too narrow and my toes hung off the side. The strap across the instep was perfect as the back of my foot is narrow.

Had to return these because the toe loop was too tight. I loved the style though. Was sad they didn't work out.

So bummed, had to send these back. Got them for my daughter for school. They looked cute like a flip-flop, but sturdy for her to run around in. Since her feet are so narrow I figured all the adjustable straps would help the fit. They would have, except the one across the ankle area has a really short Velcro length! So if your feet are narrow and you need to pull that tight, there won't be enough Velcro to secure it. :( she and I were both bummed. Great sandal otherwise!

The front portion of the sole is much flimsier than previous versions. I can never get it tight enough in the front.

This is not the most comfortable sandal I have worn from Merrell.. The smaller toe strap isn't placed correctly. It tends to not lay flat against the side of your foot so there is a small gap in between the strap & your foot. You are able to adjust the velcro straps in 3 areas to fit your foot. However for me the strap that goes around the heal is positioned to high as it rubs the under part of my ankles. Overall the shoe is OK for short distances. I would never wear them for any long distance walking.. I do plan on keeping them, hopefully I can adapt to the straps, the more I wear them.

I don't recommend these shoes for two reasons. 1) There is a rough edge on one of the shoes. 2) The toe strap is really loose.

Cute, but not as comfortable as old Merrell Azalea sandals. Too narrow at ball of foot. Only the hint of an arch. Light colored suede-like footbed. I used to love Merrells and these were disappointing.

I love these. They fit like a glove and form to your feet. I am on my third pair of these for this reason only: the thin layer of leather where your foot rests is so thin your foot wears through it in a few months revealing the black rubber underneath.

Merrell footbeds seem to be getting more narrow. This one is at least a half-inch, if not three-quarters, smaller than the Q footbed of the past. Had to return it. Nice shoe if your foot is average to narrow, but mine is slightly wide. Have worn Merrell sandals for years. Don't change them!!! You'll loose your existing customer base.

I feel like they are pretty flimsy for the price. The footbed is a grey microfiber and seems it will get dirty and show easily.

Loved these shoes as soon as I saw them. Unfortunately, the t-strap was way too loose and would keep my foot from sliding around. Darn!
