This is the most comfortable and adorable bootie on earth! Hands down the best fitting boots I ever owned. Absolutely perfect for skinny feet. I wore them right out of the box during a busy trip to Europe and looked stylish at every occasion. Cudos to the people who designed them - the heel is cut so perfectly that you can wear these boots for hours without feeling any discomfort (I usually don't even wear heels). I have been wearing them for the past two months and they still look like new. What a great purchase.

I love Merrells, and live in my Ice slip ons. I saw these and had to try them. These are simply amazing - perfect arch support, roomy toe, no rubbing at the heel, waterproof, perfect heel height. I've worn them twice so far, all day, walking - extremely comfortable, not hot, I LOVE them. Right out of the box comfy. In boots I usually go up a size for socks, and the 7.5 was perfect. Will be getting the other colors when $$ allows.

I love, love, LOVE these boots. The color is great, the quilting is a really fun touch. My husband has commented twice about how cute they are and he doesn't notice ANYTHING! They are very comfortable, feel very stable even with the small chunk heel, I feel like I could wear them every day. They look great with leggings or jeans. I bought the brown but I'm thinking of getting the black too!

I love these! Let me preface by saying I'm a 50 yr old woman with neuropathy in my foot and leg. I suffer from low back pain. Last year I had surgery to repair a herniated disk and have to be very picky about what I wear on my feet. That said, these are wonderful! Straight out of the box, comfortable! I bought them on black (size 9) and I think Im going to also purchase the brown because the fit is that good! Easy to put on and the heel height is just right for those of us with arch issues. Highly recommend!

I originally ordered these in a half size bigger thinking they would run small, but I ended up exchanging for my correct size (7). These are great! they fit perfectly, they are comfortable and I can't wait to test them in the rain.I originally bought them for an upcoming winter trip to London, they're stylish and waterproof. Fortunately they are cute enough for home as well and I'll be wearing them a lot this fall and winter. I love Merrells!

I walked all over Ireland for 15 days in these boots exclusively. I have plantar fasciitis and these booties felt wonderful. My feet held up the whole time. These are so comfortable for me. Very little rain but when it did rain my feet were cozy dry. I wore medium weight socks. What a blessing to have found these booties. Thank you Merrill. I have other styles of Merrills and have yet to be disappointed.

I walked 100 miles in these boots. Really. I purchased them for a winter trip where I knew I needed nice looking shoes that could be worn to business appointments, as well as do a lot of sightseeing outdoors in winter weather. The insole that came with the boot had a weird hump that hurt my arch - and I have pretty high arches. So I took them out and replaced with Ariat insoles, which made them perfectly comfortable. Yes, there were days when I walked 10-12 miles (according to my Fitbit) and my feet were definitely sore, but overall, these were a good compromise of comfort and style. They were the only shoes I wore for 18 days. I have continued to wear them on an almost daily basis for the remainder of the the winter, and they are still in great shape.

Out of the box perfection. Adorable with skinny jeans. Perfect for upcoming European adventure when I’ll need a switch from my sneakers. Small heel very comfortable. Fox box comfortable. I also am recovering from a year long plantar fasciitis issue and these shoes are very supportive, while being attractive and functional (water resistant etc)

These booties are perfect! Stylish and comfortable enough to walk across campus, teach on my feet for two hours, and walk back (I work at a university and have to trek across campus once a week). The height is enough to add lift and sleekness while remaining comfortable and stable. The foot bed is well padded. The toe box is roomy and the heel doesn't slide off - a rare and perfect combination for feet like mine that are wide through the toe and forefoot area but narrow at the heel. I got the Dusty Olive color because it goes with my brown, black, and gray leggings - another rare find! I may buy a pair in black. I wish Merrell would take this exact same boot and turn it into a full boot (are you reading this Merrell?). I have not had an opportunity to test out the waterproofness - but supposedly they are - and if that holds true, then these are the best booties in the world!

I have now ordered at least 6 pairs of gray or black booties, trying to find the perfect storm of style, comfort, arch support (I have plantar fascitits) and waterproof-ness and I think this is finally it. The tread is nice and chunky and seems like it won't slip. The boots are good looking and will fit under my pants, and they have a nice dip at the back of the ankle so you can point your foot while driving. The arch support feels good, and the rest of the footbed is padded. I found a keeper.

Fantastic Boots. 6 Months Later....I have now been wearing these boots almost daily for six months, in all weather - rain, snow, sleet, etc. On weekends and to the office. They are pretty much perfect. Perfectly comfortable, great arch support, warm enough outside but not too warm in the office. Perfect heel height. Great treads and traction. I am a Merrell fan, but these are hands down the best Merrell product I have had since my very first pair of Ice slides. Get some and make your winter feet very happy.

These boots would've been perfect if they'd come in Wide. I tried wearing them around the office for a bit, but my feet started hurting within 30 minutes, so back they go. Too bad, too, because I love the look of these boots!

Love these — comfortable and warm, with good traction for snow and ice. They’re short in back so the boot won’t rub the Achilles’ tendon. It’s kind of an unusual style but I found them very comfortable right out of the box.

LOVE these boots - I'm an executive at a botanical garden, and needed a slightly dressier boot that can still be worn outdoors all the time and walking on mulch trails. These are amazingly comfortable, right out of the box. The low back means they don't rub like some boots do, side zip makes them easy to put on, the toebox is roomy, so unusual for me, and squishy, comfortable padding in the footbed. I'm buying another pair in case they sell out. Awesome boots.

I was looking for a waterproof boot that would be comfortable to wear for walking in Europe. I didn't like the front pull and the sloping back. I felt the front of my foot would be warm, but there would be a breeze in the back. While the boot felt fine, I don't think I would be comfortable wearing it all day for touring.

I have lots of Merrell clogs and shoes and these fit exactly the same. Perfect. I have been looking for olive suede and these are exactly what I wanted and they fit, unlike 3 other olive suede boots that were too small. When you wear an 11 that is a problem! Roomy shoebox. Can't go wrong with these.

Amazing! These boots were worth the price. I feel like I am walking on clouds when I wear them. Every time I try to switch to my more business looking boots my feet hurt and I can feel a significant contrast. My only negative is that my boots look super worn even though I've only have them since October (it is now February). I feel like they get scuffed easily.

I was looking for a pair of waterproof, non-slip, cute boots that I could walk a lot in. Also, these reminded me of some Merrill clogs I loved for years and these were just as comfortable! Right out of the box, I was able to walk 3 miles in them. The only complaint is that it wasn’t as cushy under the ball of my foot as I would like so I bought some Dr. Scholl ball of foot cushions and that solved the issue.

I wasn't sure at first because the arch didn't hit me in exactly the right place, but they turned out to be super comfy! I usually wear an 8.5, but that wasn't available in black so I got a 9. There's plenty of extra toe space but my toes are perfectly happy about that. They fit well on the rest of my foot so there's no sliding or chafing, and there will be room for warm socks. I also like how they're cut lower in back, and they're not heavy. Just tested them out for waterproof-ness in Oregon over the weekend in anticipation of a trip to Iceland in a couple of weeks. And they're un-ugly enough (I can't go as far as calling them cute, sorry!) to wear them with jeans around SF on rainy day. Very happy with the purchase.

Great boots, very comfy and flattering! I can attest that they are waterproof, as we have had a lot of rain lately. Warm as well.

Amazing boot from Merrell. I have very fussy feet (surgically fixed bunion on left foot with a permanent screw holding my foot together), and a bunion on my other foot that acts up here and there. Finding shoes that fit is always a challenge. These are fantastic! I love having a little bit of a heel, and the toe box is perfectly comfortable with either a light or mid-weight sock (I haven't worn them with a really thick, heavy sock). Perfect for skinny jeans and/or leggings. Excellent traction -- I live in a mountain town in Colorado, and the tread on these is bomber. They're warm enough -- but I wouldn't track through deep snow in them. More of a stylish yet functional winter boot. Love the padded feature and the side zip. The notch at the back of the boot adds to its overall comfort. Got them in black and now want the olive pair. I typically wear an 8.5-9 M in most shoes/boots, and in these 8.5 M is perfect right out of the box, no breaking-in period needed. If you need more padding at the front of the foot, you 'could' add some of those stick-on pads -- but even on my fussy feet, that hasn't been necessary. We'll see how these hold up -- here, we have winter weather well into May, so if they still look good and wear well with that kind of use, then I can definitely say I will be buying another pair in black so that I always have them.

Extremely comfortable shoes. Had been having problems with my ankles (Achilles tendinitis?), bought for a trip. They were excellent - easy to zip on and off, great ankle support.
