Customer Reviews Merrell Breakwater Flip

Toe thong sits too far back, resulting in space between the front of my foot and front of shoe and heel hanging off the back. Loved the feel. Its a shame about the fit.

Pretty comfortable flips, although the strap could be softer on its edges. I'm usually a size 11 in Merrels, so that what I ordered. They fit, but I could have ordered a half size smaller. The colors are nice, but the shoe is kind of bulky, not very flattering.

I tried on my usual size, 8, and found that the strap between my toes was too far back, which caused my heel to hang off the back. Will try one size up and see how that works. I like the tread on these so I'm hoping the 9 works.

These are wide at the top and my foot just fits in the back.. I ordered Women's Size 9 in all of the Merrell shoes I've bought in the past and never had a problem with the fit. Also the insole is kind of high and takes some getting used to. These sandals are just okay, I probably wouldn't order them again

I bought then returned was hoping they were as good as the former Terran Ari sandal

I purchased these sandals in Jan 2021 and they lasted me until July 2022. This is very disappointing, Merrell is a brand that I like and I wanted to trust but the quality of this sandal just let me down. I wear this typically just in the house and not for trails. The toe strap recently got loose and the sole is also coming apart. I have purchased way cheaper sandals that have lasted me more than 7 years, so I was expecting much more of Merrell. They were awesome while I had them, they run small so I had to return my original purchase size 7 to get a full size larger 8. Overall, I don't think I will be buying these again from Merrell or recommend them to anybody.

Bought 2 pairs. Loved them at first, great traction and comfort. After only 1 season the platform separated from the sole. I can glue to fix, but shouldn't have to. Poor quality in a trusted brand.

I did not find anything exceptional about these. I bought them on sale. I was excited about that. They are average to me. I would have never paid full price for these. I wear an 8, but I ordered one size up per the reviews and glad I did. They run small. The fabric of the thong is rough and stiff. If you have foot problems, this is not the shoe for you. Hopefully it will soften with wear, otherwise I will not wear them, and take the loss. Disappointed in the shoe, esp the brand.

I found them super uncomfortable the straps rubbed my feet immediately and also they were freakishly large, like wearing ping pong paddles under your feet.

As other commenters have pointed out, the heel is too short- my heel comes right to the edge of the shoe. I'm not sure sizing up would fix the problem because then the straps would be too loose. Also the thong part is pretty bulky and uncomfortable between my toes.

I love merrells but these were not for me, easy to return

These flip flips twisted on my foot and the straps nearly immediately began digging into my feet. I'm sure they work better for others, but there were not for me. Had to return.

Needed to go a whole size larger and only the toe area is lengthened. Lol so my foot hangs off the back and has an inch extra in the front. Ugh!

The thong is attached to the reat of the shoe so far back that I couldn't get these on my feet. Too bad too becaise I had a pair of these for years that I LOVED! But they have obviously changed the style and now they're terrible.

Order size larger or don't order at all. I wear only Merrell sneakers, but don't waste your money on their flips! The actual sole of the flip flop is the same as other flip flops I have, but the placement of the toe tong and the amount of fabric on these is way off! Your heel hangs off the back and you have an inch of extra sole in the front.

My husband bought us a pair and they are both way small our feet are hanging over they must go back

This sandle is very uncomfortable - the texture of the sole and the fabric strap on top

I wish I had read the reviews prior to buying as I am not the only one who think that they fit too short. I typically wear a 9 and the straps were too tight and they were a little short. I am exchanging for a 10. I hope that solves the issue. I am buying to wear on a boat and my initial thought is if they fit, they will work well on the boat or other wet/damp environments. TBD!

Fit is too small. The thong for the toes seems too far back on the sole - my toes had lots of sole in front, but my heel was hanging off the back. Half sizes not offered. I returned this item.
