these are a great shoe but the white color is just not right. i was trying to replace a pair of Merrels that i purchased years ago (brown suede) i thought i could handle the white...when the blue is available in my size i will re-order.

I've been wearing Merrell for years so I ordered these in my perfect size 8.5. I received my order today: the shoes were oversized so much I thought they might be mens. I sent them back. Very long and VERY wide. I didn't want to try a smaller size as the scale was so large. Alas!

Bought these shoes about two years ago and the fit was tight. I have owned 2 pairs from about 8 years ago and they were perfect fit. Very hesitant to try these shoes again without trying them on. Maybe the issue has been corrected as I do like these shoes. Will try one more time. Will let you know if they fit okay.

Normally I'm a 6 1/2 with Merrell shoes. I easily needed to go a half size bigger for these. Also, I wasn't a fan of the slip ons.

I have been wearing Encore for many many years. My pairs had worn out and I was looking forward to getting a new pair. Unfortunately, my heel slips out as Walk, and sadly have returned them. Please add the inch back.

They were too big and made a squishy sound when I walked. I had to return them.

I've worn Merrill Encore shoes for over 10 years. While the Breeze 4 fits as expected the support is not there. The best description is flimsy, as though poorer materials are being used. I know it won't last the way all my previous ones have.

I read the other reviews, and I thought I might have better luck with the heel situation as I have narrow heels. Overall, the shoe feels ½ size too small. I don't feel my heel is in the back off the shoe. If I can get a 8.5, I'll write another review.

The shoes were too tight across the top . I bought my normal size 7 , and my heel was almost spilling over the back . I had to return them .

Over the last several years, I've had three pairs of Encore clogs that I loved. This new pair was so roomy I couldn't keep my feet in them. Different cut and made for a very different foot. I thought they sent a 'wide' but it was indeed a 'medium'. The return went very smoothly.

These are not like the Echos i have bought for years and years! The insole is hard, no padding at all. No support. The sole is inferior to all the others I've ordered before. After 15 - 20 pairs and recommending these every one I know, this may be my last purchase.

The removable insole is very thin and provides little support as compared to the pair I had previously owned. Not as rich feeling as they used to be. This will be my last pair for sure.

Really disappointing. I love Merrell shoes and have always been a longtime customer for several years due to their support and comfort. I have both their clogs and boots that I love. However, these are not made the way they used to be. They are a full size too big. I’m a true 7 and I’m swimming in these. Just really annoying now I have to send them back and exchange them for a smaller size.

I bought a pair of these 2 1/2 years ago and the insole was and still is more comfortable then this new pair I just got. I have had both my knees replaced in the last 14 months and loved loved loved the old pair.
It's a good sturdy shoe just wish the padding was like the older pair.

The Encore Breeze 3 have been my favorite shoes for years and I finally wore out my second pair. The Encore Breeze 4 feel cheaply made by comparison and the heal is way too short. I tried them on for all of thirty seconds and knew that they would not work for me because my foot will not stay in them. I'm very disappointed. Thankfully Amazon still sells the Breeze 3

It is very shallow/not deep enough so does not provide good support.

I used to wear these Merrell many years ago. I was excited to purchase them again for an upcoming trip. I ordered my usual size. They came in and were small and tight. I called and the Merrell rep suggested that I size up and so I did. I returned the original order and got the next size up. They came in and fit great for the first few hours. I wore them to work, I stand in my feet All day, by the end of the day, my Encore Breeze stretched out so much that it SOUNDS like I'm wearing "loud flip flops" when walking at work. They also slip off too easily when walking. I wish I had known this was going to happen. They are now just expensive flip flop sounding shoes. Disappointing to say the least. I am buying a different pair of shoes for my trip now.

I’ve been wearing Merrell clogs for years, but these Encore Breeze 4 don’t appear to be the same quality as in pairs past. These were a bit tight across the top as others have noted, but I could wear them with light weight socks. The returning point for me was that they squeak with every step. I’d hoped it would subside, but each step throughout the day was noisy. Disappointed for sure.

I think Merrill has changed their sizing, 9.5 too floppy and long. Have several pairs of 9.5 but this is third pair I’ve returned. Need to go down to a 9.

I have an antique pair of the original Breeze which are ragged but still hanging on. After comparing them to this version, I've decided to throw my old ones in the washer, buy some new insoles, and keep them going. It makes me sad how much these have been cheapened, especially the sole construction. It's just a solid, molded piece now with little flex. The 11M fit was OK, though. My take on these is cheap construction with a price a lot greater than the comfort. They're going back.
