Fit very well. Stretches around my 'unusual' feet. Tried wearing them to work (nurse/on my feet all day) and they weren't built for that. But for around town, errands etc... just perfect.

I have owned four or five pair of these over the past 5-10 years and love them, but I was surprised when I received these yesterday from Houser Shoes. They are a good bit lighter and seem not to have as much sole support. Is this new engineering? Just curious before I decide whether to keep them. Thank you!

These shoes are the most comfortable purchase I've made in a while! I have rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, and my knees are in bad shape. These slip on shoes - medium width - have a wide toe box and allow me to stand, walk, and do almost anything comfortably - and they are easy to put on and take off. I ordered two additional pairs.
The sizing is large but I was reluctant to size down.Slip on shoes provide little ankle support in general but these allow me to take longer walks with dogs on rough terrain. I am very pleased with my purchase.

Merrell products are in the category of "You get what you pay for". The quality of the outer parts is great. I think the inner sole could have been more comfortable.

The Merrell Encore Breeze 4 has evolved into a less than perfect shoe. I had to return my first pair and order a half-size larger. The heal tends to rub and it has no real arch support. Overall, it's a handy shoe to wear to the store.

Appears to be a quality shoe. I am a consistent 9 wide and that is what I purchased. It felt tight across the top of my foot and short in the heel. Am returning.

The shoe is an exceptional shoe as all Merrill products are. Unfortunately they ran a little wide for me as I have a narrow heel. I put an insert inside of the shoe and now it fits perfectly.

So glad to have a light colored Encore Breeze to add to my collection. This is my "go to" shoe most days and for casual gatherings. Very flexible uppers and stability enhancing structure and soles.

I have loved Merrell Encore Breeze for years. However the leather band running across the instep on the right shoe of this pair was slightly longer than the left -- disconcerting when walking. `afraid I had to send them back.

It is a shame that you stopped making the all leather upper version, I think it was called encore rexton slider. I think they are the best shoes you ever made and I bought many pairs of them

Outstanding looks, fit really bad. My husband bought these for me. I don't want to disappoint him, but these are really bad.

Merrell makes wonderful shoes and these are no exception. They aren't that great on sizing though. I have Merrells in 9.5, 10, and 10.5. After futzing around with REI, and returning first a 10.5, and losing whatever sale savings I had in the process, I came to zappos and got these in 9.5. Perfecto! Patience in a virtue.

It's perfect. I love the shoe. I'm stuck in my home with the Stay Safe Home orders, and wanted another pair of the shoes I already had and love. I originally ordered the Breeze 2, but it was too tight. I called Merrell and they suggested I return it and get the Breeze 4, which is cut larger. It's just what I wanted. My only dislike is that the insole is made of a material that is a little rough on my sensitive feet. I just switched in a different insole. I'm even thinking of getting another pair in a different color.

I love this shoe, have worn Encore Breez forever. it's almost a perfect alternative to clod-hoppery sneakers, and much more stylish- basic, practical and pretty, fits well.The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the first pair I ordered this spring arrived looking not so newish, one of the shoes creased and a tad worn; so I exchanged for another pair that arrived fast, and brand new, with no hassle whatsoever during the quick even exchange process. Now I choose a color for my second pair of these go to shoes. . . .

This is my second or third pair of Encore Breeze. I like the updated trim and the always comfortable foot bed. It is very lightweight and breathes. I wish the shoe had a bit more "style", and I'd like to see some spunkier colors - Nantucket red? Sunflower gold? These are my go-to casual shoes during the transition from winter footwear to summer sandals. I appreciate the full range of sizes Merrell offers. In some closed-back styles, I need a 10.5 , which Merrell has. A 10 fits fine in this slide, with room for lightweight socks.

I think I will love these as much as the original Encore Breeze! I bought the original Encore Breeze many years ago. Loved, loved them, they were so comfortable. Wore them to death. Since then i've tried successive models and they were not comfortable. The forefoot of the shoe was narrower and shorter. And the next larger size was way too big.
I decided to give the new Encore Breeze 4 a try. It seems to be like the original model in width and comfort. The sole may be a bit thinner or harder. I did have to go a half size up. I look forward to walking in them once I can get outside after the Covid-19 crisis abates.

Unfortunately for me, they're just a little too big, and flop off my heels. The size smaller is too small and pinch my toes. Woes is me. But as always, Merrell "clogs" are the best!

I bought this shoe as I had a pair just like them and wore them completely out. They are comfortable and so easy to slip on and off. I especially use them for house shoes. I do think they run a tad big and I could have used a half size smaller.I love the support they give to my feet.

I have 2 pair and I like them. Wish they had a bit more "cushion" in the inner sole. Very comfortable fit, lightweight, and plenty of space for my arthritic big toe

I absolutely love all of my Merrells but for some reason this pair developed a squeak in both shoes. I've had them for a couple of years. I had to stop wearing them because everyone could hear it.
I wish they would bring back the fun colors like orange and magenta.

The only problem I have with this pair is the cheap manufacturing smell. I'm airing them out and hoping for the best. This is probably the sixth pair I have gotten and the only pair to smell like this. Also, I know feet vary, but the right shoe is flopping when I walk. I'll use an insert to deal with that issue.
