I don’t know what to think. I always buy a size 10 in Merrell but my size 10 was feeling a little loose so I tried a 9 1/2 and that didn’t work. I have this exact style and a size 10 and it fits as long as I have socks on. Since the 9 1/2 didn’t work I bought this in a size 10 which to my surprise is still too small. Why?

These shoes are cozy and cute (for slippers), but are pretty narrow and don't really offer much arch support. Since i need that, and since i ordered a half-size up to be able to wear thick sox but can't due to narrow width, I need to return them.

Too right that sizing is off. Bought half size up based on reviews, and while fit was ok, it wasn't great, especially for the price. What is with sizing of a lot of shoes lately being all over the map?

...alas, didn't happen. These shoes have been a staple for me for the past dozen or so years. I finally killed my last older pair so I've been trying to replace them with the "new" version. No luck. I've now tried six different pairs thru various sources. Once I confirmed my current correct size (11, not 10.5), I'd hoped to find a size 11 that fit. One pair was super narrow - I could barely get my feet inside. One was really wide and they flopped off my feet. Two pairs were close - I was hopeful! - but the heels were too wide and my feet wouldn't stay in; and, even after just a short time test-wearing them, there was too much black "fur" coming out. Also, the soles seem harder than before and the insoles seem less cushioned. All in all, there were too many things not working for me to justify the price... so back they all went. I don't know if it's my hard-to-fit feet or if this shoe style, quality and/or build have changed since my past old favorites but I know I'll have to figure out something different for the winter months ahead.

I wanted it to fit but I have a high instep so the tops were a little tight also one shoe slipped a little when I walked. It is a great shoe for the right person but not one with a high instep.

Warm, comfy, wonderful for women like me who have wide feet.
For years I have not only worn them as casual outside shoes but in the house all winter as warm and comfortable "slippers"!
HOWEVER, I will no longer be buying these because the company has changed from using genuine (sheep) shearling lining to using fake/artificial lining. Fake lining compresses easily, does not provide as much warmth.
Irony - they haven't dropped in price, just in quality. Sad.

Very comfortable shoe. Would have loved them except for the fact that there was a spot on the upper inside that kept rubbing against the top of my foot - and I was just sitting at my desk, not even walking in them. So I had to return them. Although it may have been just that particular pair that had the problem, I decided to try another brand.

About Andorra. These are a dusty burgundy color that is popping up everywhere this season. I too thought it looked more like a rusty red, however, the color will still work fine for me.
There seems to be is a sizing error with these clogs. I purchased a 6.5 and 7 M Andorra pair planning to keep the pair that fit best. I could not get the 6.5 on my foot. It should fit. However, the cardboard half last that comes stuffed inside the shoe to help it keep it's shape is marked 6 - 6T. The size tag is marked 6.5 and the box was marked 6.5. But I suspect this is really a 6. 6.5 is my normal size. The 7 fits with a thick sock, but there is at least an inch of space in the toe box. The half last in that clog was marked 7-7T, and it feels like a 7 in the fit.
Sheepskin lined footwear is normally at their fluffiest when new and a snug fit is a good thing because the sheepskin mashes down over time. This is not undesirable. Snug does not necessarily mean leaving 1 inch in front of your big toe. That's likely to leave even more space when the sheepskin starts mashing down in a few months.
I'm sending these 6.5 back and holding the 7s for now. I'm going to order another pair in a different color to try the 6.5s and see if they fit any better. These look like a great clog and I love my Merrell boots which are going into their 4 th fall season.

These shoes are very warm and comfortable which is what I expect of Merrells. Disappointed, however, in the suede exterior. There is very little coverage and the coating that is there comes off quite easily giving the shoes a used scuffed up appearance.

Not enough arch support for me and got too floppy after only a few wears. A little too frumpy for my taste, switched to the jungle moc ice and am happier.

I love these shoes, and the pair I received were as usual comfortable and attractive. But the color Falcon is blue, not gray, while the website photo of the shoe in Falcon makes it look gray. So now I have to return the shoes, and apparently there is no gray color this year.

These shoes are not comfortable and the look very big on my feet so I returned them. The return process is very cumbersome and probably won't buy again.

The boots are beautiful and fit great. However, first time wearing them (for only a short while) and the bottom liners have come out. I expected much better quality from Merrell - I've been wearing their shoes for years and not had this type of fail.

Just love the concept of these shoes. The right shoe just is too narrow across the top of my foot closest to the ankle. The left shoe fits just great. Weird feet I guess! Must return.

This shoe ran about a full size too big. I was not impressed with the quality looked cheap and questioned if they were actually suede. Merrill can do better than that.

I loved mine but was disappointed that there was no longer a lambs wool replacement insole offered, it changed my review of the product. I just saw a reviewer say she has been replacing the insoles, is Merrell offering this again?? I don't see it. That would change everything

I have these exact shoes in a size 10 that I thought might be a little loose so I tried a 9.5 and too small, so I ordered a 10 and they were to small. I finally decided to order a size 10.5M and to my surprises they feel too small. I'm not willing to try wearing them to see if they stretch a little. Even with my bare feet they are too tight. Merrell used to be on of my favorites, not sure what's going on but I'm discouraged.

I like these shoes for the comfort factor. They really keep your feet supported and toasty however two things I am not happy with: One of the thin insoles slides out of place every time I take the shoe off. The second is that they make my feet stink. I have never had this problem before. Disappointed.

I had two previous pairs of the encore ice shoes and had only the best to say about them. They used to be made with smooth leather and real sheepskin lining. They are now suede with faux fur lining. They are no longer the warm shoe they advertise, and the quality is not what you expect from Merrill. In my opinion the last pair I recently bought was only money wasted.

They were almost 2 inches longer than the Merrill shoes I've had for 2 years. Also couldn't feel any arch support.
