Customer Reviews Merrell Around Town Sunvue Thong Woven

I really like this sandal...but after only a couple of wears, a fissure formed on the right sandal. I would recommend this product for light walking.

I've worn these for about a week now, mainly walking the dog around my neighbourhood. I bought them for a trip to Thailand and I think they will work well for that purpose, lots of walking in warm, humid weather. Overall they fit to my size 6 foot as expected. Comfortable, the toe strap offers plenty of support to keep them on. Only problem is, i developed a terrible blister on the outside of my foot from the clip digging in to the skin. Even with a band-aid it's unbearable, I also tried loosening the strap but it didn't help. I hope it improves as they'd be the perfect shoe otherwise!

I bought these sandals and was very disappointed. I have owned only merrells for the last 8 years. I ordered these to replace my other merrells, as I've worn them out. The plastic buckles are in the wrong place on these sandals, they rub on my foot and the material seems to be cheaper than others in the past. So they are being returned.

I couldn't handle the phone between my toes.I hoped that these would be comfortable because I think they're really cute. But I'm not used to a salon and I couldn't do it. They also slid around on my foot.

I wore these out to the farmer's market last week and regretted that I did. They slipped off of my feet excessively the entire time. I had purchased 4 pair of sandals at once due to a broken little toe and the other 3 styles work well for my situation. I like the look but that doesn't help my situation. I won't be wearing them again. In all the years I've been a big fan of Merrell's, this is my first bad experience.

The sandal fit perfectly but the insoles were too hard and hurt my feet. Too bad I had to return them as they looked very nice.

Sad because I have had both Keen and Merrell and I got these for a vacation. Didn't even have on for half day and marks on my feet and toes kept slipping out. Toe hole too big and straps too long so velcro didnt meet.

Strap to long. Can't tighten up the sandel good and snug over the top of my foot. Foot slips loose and out. Velcro part to far down the strap. Slips off my foot when I walk because it's not snug. Otherwise cute but not good fit this way. Wish i could return them. Was a gift.

I ordered this sandal and had to return it for two reasons. It fit small--my heel was almost off the back of the sandal--and the woven part rubbed on my bunion. I ordered three different styles of Merrell sandals and this is the only one I had to return. The other two styles fit perfectly and were very comfortable!

Too small, I normally wear an 8 or 8 1/2 and I ordered a 9 and very narrow. Rubbed against my side and big toe and overall very disappointed.

I've heard a lot about this company from many people and finally bit the bullet to try a pair. I was very disappointed with the quality. The design wasn't bad but then the piece used to connect the straps is just cheap plastic. Looks like it could break and once the shoe was on my foot, the straps shifted causing the plastic to dig into my foot. Couldn't even stand to wear them around the house. They were a little long. Overall, I'm reluctant to try Merrill again.

I returned these sandals for a refund

I've never had a problem with shoes fitting differently on my two feet. I want to return these shoes because the left shoe fits but the right one feels too small. The footbed does not hug my right foot comfortably on the right shoe.

Bought a pair of these knowing the great quality I have had with past Merrell shoes. I'm very disappointed, to say the least. Bought a pair of these sandles to take on a cruise. The sole is very hard at the arch making it feel like you're walking on a rock. But that wasn't the worst part... the entire cork paper layer peeled right off when the shoes got wet! The friction between my foot and the micro-thin cork layer bubbled and peeled right below my big toe and balls if my two feet (both shoes). So... you peel the rest of it off to reveal a black plastic sole that is very hard and very ugly. For the money I paid for these shoes, to have gotten one wear out of them is very discouraging. I would recommend Merrell for hiking shoes but they really need to do some improvements on their sandles.

I like the look of this sandal, but the forefoot is narrow and my toes fall over the side when I walk. I usually wear a 6.5. Customer service advised me to order size 7 since this sandal doesn't come in half sizes. So even with the larger size it was too narrow for my forefoot. I didn't find the sole particularly comfortable either.

I love how these sandals look! I ordered the black in a size 9, my usual Merriell size but had to exchange for the 10! The 10 looked and felt great! Extremely comfortable to wear and I received several compliments! After wearing only a handful of times I noticed the simulated cork footbed was rubbing off. I called Merrell and exchanged for a second pair. The same thing happened with the second pair. The shoes looked fine on but when off the footbed looked as if they had been worn for many, many years! A friend commented that she liked the shoes and that they looked well loved. I said NO I have had them for 3 weeks and worn a dozen times, If that!? She was shocked. So back went my second pair. Sad to see them go but for the price I paid, full price, I should have them for many years, not many weeks before they look like they have gone through the ringer! Great style Merrell though the quality just wasn't there!
