Nice shoes. Not as supportive as the Merrell nova 4.

Sent these back, the arch support was not good for me. Couldn't use my orthotics in them. Shoes was very nice just not right for my feet. But would give Merrell a 5 star, they accepted the return without any problems. When they received the returned shipment my money was refunded in a quick matter.

I have 3 pairs of Encore Ice in different colors. LOVE them. I am not as enamored with Encore Breeze but it may simply be because it lacks the snuggly factor winter footwear affords. I like Breeze but don't love them the way I do Ice.

This is my second pair of these; my other pair wore out and I was pleased to find a new replacement. I use my own custom orthotics and find they are great to wear out and about on the weekends as well as busy work days. As stated in another review, the heal has less of a side to hold feet in place. I wear them with fun socks in the fall; they are "friendly" to my feet as I stand most of the day.

Everything was right except the heel kept slipping off when I walked. I have had two of these same design in the past and this was the first that did that.

I am between a 9.5 and 10 in various shoes. I took a chance on the 10M. I should have gotten the 9.5M. They are swimming on me width and length. Loved the color for summer. Good quality as usual with Merrell. I will try the 9.5M if they have them. I think if you find your true fit I think you will enjoy these.

These are great fitting shoes. I had to return the first set due to noise inside the right heel. Merrell said they would ship me out a new set after I returned the offending ones. That was easily done. I got the new set and surprise, the same exact sound in the same right foot. So, either they sent me the same set back or these are defective. I gave up and kept them, Step, creak, step, creak...Lovely. Glad they are for my house and deck.

I am a repeat buyer. Wore them to work all the time and now that I’m retired I still enjoy wearing them all the time.

The only reason this is not a five is that I own many pairs of Merrell shoes in size 10 and these are the only ones that are fitted so tightly I can't even wear socks. Wish I'd gotten a "wide". That said, they immediately became my favorite everyday indoor/outdoor shoe and I wear them all the time.

This is my 3rd pair of these shoes. I love them for their looks, comfort & durability. I am in between a medium & wide width, however. So, to fit across my high instep & my bunion, I had to order the wide width (after the first two pairs over several years, in the medium width.) So now the heel is a bit too wide, but I plan to insert some heel pads to help with that. Great shoes, otherwise.

I light the lightness of the Encore Breeze, but I feel that the Jungle Slide has better arch support

I bought these to wear as slip ons around the house and as a shoe recommended for hip replacement surgery (slip-ons needed, as it will be too difficult to bend over to tie laces.) I have had them before and used them daily when I was teaching and wearing skirts. Comfortable. I use them exclusively inside; would not wear them out.

Merrill is a used to be for my feet. I love this style, yet it’s too wide and too long now. I felt that I would walk out of the shoe eventually. Finally, I prefer a better arch support.

I was a little disappointed that there were some light stains in the material but the fit was so good, I didn't want to send them back. So I will keep them.

I have several earlier versions of this shoe but this one was a lot smaller. I had to return them.

This is my favorite shoe. Comfortable with easy on and off. Material of shoe seems to be stain resistant with great color, too.

This size 5 is smaller than other Merrill's that I have owned over the years. I can still wear them, but it took a good while for them to feel as if they fit correctly. Also, the sole of this shoe is very stiff, and again this is in comparison to other Merrill's.

I have difficulty with tennis shoes as they hurt my feet and ankles. These shoes are a great substitute for athletic shoes. I can walk around for my daily needs and I don't get the discomfort of tennis shoes. They are good for very casual occasions.

I am usually a 8.5 wide, but not in this shoe. It's already really wide. I returned the wide for a regular width, and it was perfect. Absolutely no arch support - but with my custom insoles, they worked out fine.

Shoe Back is too low to keep shoe on securely when walking too fast or even too slow - easy to slip on and off comfortable otherwise

The material felt light and airy -- but that is not what I was looking for. These would be great supportive shoes for a warm day.

I have worn Merrells for years and love the fit. However, we women with wide feet like pretty shoes just as much as other women. What's the deal??!! This shoe comes in 8 colors in 6M and only 3 in 6W.
