Customer Reviews Merrell Zoe Sojourn Lace Knit Q2

I am sending these shoes back to Z. The inner footpad has arch support that does not meet up with my arch. Ouch.

Can't really criticize a shoe just because it doesn't come in narrow. I wish these would have fit since they felt like they would have been a good walking shoe but they were a bit too loose in the heel. I have pretty flat feet so no noticeable arch support is fine. Merrells seem to vary shoe to shoe in terms of length and width. With other models I can get away with a medium width but not these. Sadly they are going back.

After trying many different styles, thanks to Zappos return policy.....these were the winners! They shoes are so cute and so comfortable. They slide right on, but hold my foot in securely so the heel doesn't slip out. They are light weight and breathable. Good arch support. I ordered them in another color as well. Love them!

These are both comfortable and stylish, I purchased the Azalea and they are super cute. I have a high arch and long feet I got them in 71/2 and 8, kept the 8.

Very comfortable. I like the fact that you can adjust the fit with the laces. Wore them traveling home after a day of walking with my Chaco's. My feet hurt after the day in the Chaco's. They did not hurt after a day in these. Merrells have always been a good choice for me!

I liked the look of these shoes, and especially their light weight. The fit is snug, which is what I wanted. The lightly -padded footbed is removable. However, replacing it with my orthotic changed the fit of the shoe. I have narrow heels and high arches. I need to use the orthotic, but that made my heel slip too much. If I could use the original footbed, this shoe would be great.

I am back, I gave these a five star review but now I am returning them sadly. I have high arches and after wearing them in the house, the elastic shoe laces started to cut my circulation off on my right foot. They are really cute in azalea. There is also an arch support that is a little uncomfortable under foot with my already high arches.

Nice looking shoe, very comfortable....but.....the heel slipped too much, I returned them.

Bought these for travel where I do a lot of walking on city streets, and don't want a shoe that looks too much like an athletic shoe. The looks fill the bill, especially since the sole is black. The best feature is the light weight and packability, as they squash flat to pack. The worst feature is the inadequate arch support, which is bad for long walks on pavement. I put my orthotics in, but that made them too tight.

I really wanted to like these shoes as I have several pairs of Merrells in this size. I love that they run narrow as I have narrow feet. However, these were so snug I could hardly get them on, even after loosening the elastic laces. I discovered that if I removed the inserts they fit much better but that didn't seem like a good long-term solution so I'm returning them. Disappointing.

I bought this shoe to wear as a nurse who is standing in the operating room all day, and they definitely provide adequate arch support. But the design is not good for having to walk all day. The toggle lace can't get them tight enough to stay put on my foot, so they slide around on my heel. And if I do tighten them as tight as it will allow, the tongue crinkles and digs in to the top of my foot so badly that it hurt for days. These shoes would be great if they had traditional laces, but then they would not appeal to those who like slip-ons.

Rubbed on back of heel

Narrow for a typical medium. Returning.

I had gotten two different yet similar styles of these both at the same size. These were incredibly tight and hurt. So these aren't true to size at all. The laces are too long and you have no place to 'store' them if you tighten them, which has its obvious problems. Once tightened the laces were flopping around and hanging out no matter how I tried to tuck them. Overall, not a good design and def not sized where you can rely on its accuracy. Pro was it was very lightweight, which was fantastic. Back they go. The search continues.
