Customer Reviews Merrell Encore Q2 Breeze

Too big. Too narrow. My last pair fit better and was the same size. Not crazy about mesh pattern (I liked encore breeze 3 better). More colors in wide sizes would be great. Purple and/ or orange would be awesome! My first pair of orange shoes were the best. I'd been wearing different styles/ pairs of Merrell's for at least 10 years or more and this was the first pair I've ever wanted to return.

I love these shoes, but wonder why they smell like a rubber tire.? Something has changed in the production process.

I love these shoes. I ordered an 8.5 M to replace my old ones. Same size, yet the new ones are tighter. Makes me wonder if they stretch out over time? Guess I'll find out!!

Low average finish. Not as smooth as expected. It is my 7th pair of Merrell and it is the first time I am desappointd.

Now that I look at the picture it seems obvious, so probably I'm the only one who missed this - but i was looking for a slip-on walking shoe, and I love my Merrell winter shoes, so I got these to be lighter and cooler. And they are light and cool and very comfortable - BUT they are a clog, not a shoe, and so not really appropriate for long walks. I am wearing them around the house and yard but it wasn't the shoe I was looking for.

I already have a pair of these shoes, and was looking forward to having them in a different color. They are easy to get on and off, and I can wear them barefoot or with thin socks. I get a size 9.5, which is a half size larger than I wear in other brands. The shoes had such a strong chemical odor when they arrived that I couldn't stand to be anywhere near them. I put them outside on my covered patio and left them there for 5 days and nights, and I put the box outside, too. They still have a chemical odor to them, but it is tolerable, now. I'm not an oversensitive person, and some days I can't smell much at all, with allergies bothering me, but this was horrible!

I wanted some slip on shoes to walk my dog. Sketchers have so little support I got tendinitis, and I love the winter shoes I have from Merrell so I ordered these. They are comfortable on and are lightweight and cool - but what I didn't realize from the picture is that they are clogs - so my heels slip up and down with each step. So maybe you could wear them around the house or running errands, but they won't work as walking shoes.

In the past I bought 3 pairs of Merrell's: 1 pr. of breeze in black and 2 prs. of encores. My first pair of breeze shoes lasted several years. I have pain in the ball of my foot with most shoes including sneakers but not with this shoe. I could walk forever in them. Best walking shoe that I have ever had. As far as my two pairs of encore are concerned, I am still wearing them in the winter and they are in great shape. Again, I could walk for miles in them. However, last year I bought my second pair of breeze shoes. They were not of the same quality as my first pair as the soles wore through after less than a year of wear. (I don't wear them in the winter.) Also, they didn't seem to be as well cushioned as my first pair so I had a little bit of discomfort in the ball of my foot. Furthermore, I developed a blister on my little toe from the shoe. This did not happen with the first pair that I owned.

For some reason these shoes didn't feel good at the tip. Uncomfortable and style not attractive. Had to return them.
