If you'd like a wider shoe, this is the one for you. Ordinarily 11M is a bit snug but in this case it's too wide. The criss-cross straps are set back a bit too far to hold foot in place. As others have said, the foot slides around making this not a good fit for me. Regretfully I will need to return the 2 pairs (redwood, natural tan) which are both beautiful :-/

I have two pair of Merrell Around Town slides that I just love. I have a slightly wide foot and normally wear an 8.5 but purchased an 8 in those. I grew up in the 60's and 70's and loved huarache sandals but was disappointed in these for two reasons. 1. They were a bit wide and I didn't feel like they would stay on after any amount of wear. 2. The weaving started half way up my foot rather than at the toe line. A lot of potential but not quite there in my opinion.

Loved the look , but the left one hurt under my arch on the inside of my foot. I am very disappointed to return them.

I am definitely a size 8.5 and these only came in 8 or 9 so I sized down to size 8 and they were a perfect fit, so recommend size down vs up. The falcon brun color is more brown than bronze and was very pretty. My only problem is that the back strap around your ankle has elastic and unfortunately allowed my right foot to slide back over the back edge of the footbed which is raised and makes it uncomfortable on your heel. I walked the house for a while willing them to somehow break in and allow my foot to stay within the footbed to no avail. Sadly I had to send them back. It is not that the shoe is too big, the size 8 footbed fit my foot like a dream... it was just the elasticized band that allowed my foot to move back over the heel when I walked. A size 7 would have def been too small. The footbed is air cushioned memory foam and FELT LIKE A DREAM! I am going to look for another similar pair that maybe has a buckle on the ankle strap which would more securely keep my foot in place. Give it a try and see if you have the same experience...

These disappointed! The arch didn't fit in the right place. I liked the look of it in the picture but on, not so much. The cross cross part is too far back and it's not flattering.

Had to return. Nice shoe, but back heel strap too loose and not adjustable. Didn't notice in picture of sandal that there was no way to adjust the fit.

They seemed quite large, longer and wider than expected. The leather was soft, but still had to pull pretty hard to get my foot in. Then the top was very loose. Also, they were not as red as I hoped according to the photo online. They are really a dull orange.

Way wide over toes doesn't let the foot stay on the show confortable so when you walk it moves side to side, the upper is nice and it looks OK but the good Merrell quality is gone, this happen also with the las 2 orders I made of Merrell sandals, I love my older ones but not the newer ones sorry

The returns are not made easy. The shoes are loose and not as attractive as they look online. Love the hiking boots I get but really expected an easier return policy.

I am interested in trying your sandals, however you do not offer them is wide width. I wear a size 10 wide width and have difficulty finding nice sandals in my size. I understand you sell good quality shoes. Is there any reason why nice sandals are not made in wide widths?

The back strap constantly slid down enabling the front straps to loosen. Then my foot would slide forward out over the tip of the sole. I couldn't walk in them without having to stop and readjust them. So dissapeared. Not worthy of the Merrell brand!

So disappointed with these. I have always loved Merrell sandals and these appeared so stylish. However, after only a few wears, the leather has stretched so much that my foot slides forward at least an inch when I walk. Sadly, I bought a red pair as well and even though I haven’t worn them yet, I expect the same will happen. I’d return them if I could.
