Loved the look and eco-friendly design of the shoe. Very light weight and could wear with shorts, skorts or pants but had to send back because the heel had a fabric feature that rubbed the skin.

Love the look of this shoe. It looks so comfortable, but it's not as comfortable as I expected. It has absolutely no support in the sole and not a lot of cushion. Can't really wear them for long days on my feat.

Merrell is usually my go-to brand for my hard-to-fit feet that need support for overpronation. This shoe would be perfect if it was not mesh. I am not a fan of the mesh craze because there is no support for the sides of your feet. I love, love the style of this shoe and the solid construction of the sole, but even with my custom orthotics I knew I'd be in pain after walking short distances. If you are lucky enough to have feet that don't need much side support, then these could be great for you. Great Merrell construction and the laces come up high so they really wrap your feet. These shoes are just what I've been looking for but they have to go back. I'm so sad. Thanks, Zappos!

I wanted to love these shoes but they did not fit me well. I first purchased a 10.5 since that is what I usually wear, returned those and then purchased a 10. The 10 fit in the length but the toe box is more narrow than I like. Nice looking shoes but they did not fit right for me.

I am a 64 year old letter carrier with bad feet. Merrell shoes are the only brand I wear because they keep my problem feet from hurting. Some shoes I love!!!! But I was extremely disappointed in these. I dont like the way they fit or the way they look. They are much cuter in the pic. I will keep them because Merrell has no selection in summer casual shoes. Im afraid to wear any other brand. But I wont be wearing this pair out because they are definitely not my favorite.

Oddly stiff, and either tied so loosely they slide off or, if tightened appropriately, constrict my feet painfully. I'm young and limber and I don't normally complain about shoes.

I ordered these based on the other reviews, and sized down a half size. Despite that, the shoe was large overall, and very unstructured in the heel in a way that allowed my foot to slide around a lot. The arch was also not as good as other Merrells. Sent these back.

Ordered half size smaller than usual and it worked out perfectly. No arch support so I’ll have to use my inserts. Stylish but not worth the price especially with the lack of support.

I am always a 9.5 but ordered a 9 because of the reviews, glad I did! There is little arch support so I will need to toss in better inserts. Not worth the cost, wait till they go on sale.

Narrow toe box and longer than normal length caused me to return this item. Too bad. Style and quality are good, but Merrill shoes are for folks with longer narrower feet

Liked the style. Didn’t feel good on. Was hoping it had a warm, cozy supportive feel. Not at all. Slipped on, slipped off, and returned. I own a pair of Earth brand - I’m going to try them out.

I have a medium foot and these are narrow in my opinion. My foot was pressing the sides of the shoes out too much. If you have a narrow foot, these would probably be comfortable for you. The length fit my typical 7.5 foot. Just didn't like how distorted they looked from being too narrow.

This is a great looking shoe but has a VERY narrow toe box, making them uncomfortable. They had to be returned

Very disappointed. I ordered these in black, size 8.5. Tried on and the material is very scratchy and they seem short. Toe bed is narrow. They are out of size nine. I'll try them on one more time tomorrow but will probably just return. I wanted to love these shoes!

If I hadn't worn them a few times before I figured out the flaws i would have returned them.

Returned these. They were ~1 whole size too large, narrow at the wide part of my foot and very stiff/hard. Not comfortable at all.

Remember those Adidas sandals with the nubby soles that literally made your feet hurt for days? Merrell has recreated that with these. The insole has holes in it and when you spend a few hours in these, your skin gets marked with little circles from being pressed into those holes and it hurts. So much so that for several days after wearing these (only wore them for a few short hours), the soles of my feet were still red and in pain. The only relief was walking on the cold tile, which felt like I was icing them. Also painful is the tongue. The sides of the knit are melted or glued to avoid fraying, which created a rigid and painful edge that cuts into the top of your foot. I tried loosening the laces to make it hurt less, but they just are so rigid they dig into your foot with each step. Socks help lessen it a bit, but not completely (and do nothing for the sole hole problem). For me, these hurt the tops and bottoms of my feet so much I only wore them once never again. Maybe it's my pair, but the insole was a bad design and whoever made this pair created the most uncomfortable tongue ever put in a shoe. I LOVE Merrell shoes, so much so that I have like 40 pairs and rave about them. I had super high hopes for these, but these are a big miss.

I wanted to love these shoes so much. When I first put them on they were so comfortable, but when walking around the house, I quickly knew that these shoes were not for me. These shoes are simply too hard, and after wearing them for about an hour around the house, they have totally wrecked my feet for the night.

I ordered this and the Canvas Gridway online and am highly disappointed. I had purchased the Around Town Canvas last summer in a 9.5/40.5; those are amazing shoes and wanted to add variety to my collection. I ordered the same size in this shoe style. It's sizing is off and fits more like a 10. Fully disappointed sizing isn't consistent between the shoes.

The insole of these shoes are very thin and uncomfortable. The rigid arch of the shoe was in the wrong place. The outer fabric of the shoe soiled very easily and the shoes lost their shape within the first few wearings .
Definitely not worth the money

To start, the insole of this shoe is very thin and it's arch is in the wrong place.
The shoes have completely lost their shape after being worn just a few times.
Additionally they soil very easily. These shoes were a total disappointment.

Unfortunately, the foam on these shoes is low quality. I've been commuting in them for a few months, and the foam between the sole and upper has started to disintegrate. Disappointing from Merrell.
