I love these shoes! They are comfortable, easy to wear, and the wide versions are great. They don't cause any bunions and I love them.

I purchased this pair of Men's Encore Gust 2 shoes and they were delivered ahead of schedule. I use them for all conditions. Perfect Slip-on shoes made for a quick walk outside to retrieve the morning paper or comfortable enough to walk all day. I've had black and brown ones and also wore out a pair of mesh ones.

I ordered these but the sizing was off. I was advised by a rep to order a medium but I definitely need a wide. I returned them and when I receive a credit I will reorder a wide. I am replacing the same/similar Merrill slip-on which I have owned for several years. They were great and very comfortable.

Thank you for bringing back my favorite shoe of all time. I was quite saddened when these were replaced by the Rextons. They just didn't work as well for me. The Gusts, with their sturdier rim are amazingly comfortable, stable and supportive. I'm a retired school teacher; as a teacher, I was on my feet all day and these shoes more than adequately met the challenge. Easy on, easy off, stylish and comfortable. I love them!

I own 6 pairs of Merrell shoes. That's all I wear because I have planters in my heals and wear custom inserts. I was hoping I could wear the Encore Gust 2, but my inserts are two high in the back so I sent them back and got a pair of the new Jungle moc leather 2. I wear these shoes all over the world and I have two pairs of the ones that work well on wet pavement. I'm 75 years old and very picky with my footwear. Thanks

I got these specifically because I wanted a pair of comfortable and cushioning shoes to wear as I putter around in my home workshop. I have chronic back pain and sometimes I feel it with every step. These do wonders to help cushion the blow.

Merrell is always a quality product. Feels like a custom fit product once it is broken in for a bit. A favorite for sure.

Took a day to get used to, but very comfortable shoes. Only issue is that there is no arch support, but it does come with removable insoles you can put in some orthotics in.

Very comfortable clogs. I wish the sides of the sole didn't look so tech. I would much prefer a classic profile. Makes it impossible to dress these up.

Great Shoes but they are too small and the color is much deeper brown than I thought it would be. I am looking to replace a pair of Merrill slides that I have had for 10 years that I love and still get compliments on. I'll keep trying to find the perfect replacement.

These Merrell’s were about 1’2 size larger than the stated size. I tried wearing them with thicker socks, but it just didn’t work out. Thanks Zappos for your GREAT customer service! Happy Holidays to all!

This is my fourth pair of this style but my first in the leather. By far more comfortable than the similar brand in the other material. However, they changed the formula, the originals were of better quality and workmanship.

I bought these shoes for the ease of getting on and off. It is hard for me to tie shoes as I get older. Slip- ons make life easier for me. These shoes run on the small side, I sent my first pair back for a larger size. They still might be a little small. Merril made the exchange process very easy. The shoes look very nice. I hope they last along time

It was what I ordered but after a few years of wear my toes/toenails were getting jammed. I’m going to order a half size up and see if that solves the problem. I REALLY LIKE the “new” style of the shoe in 2020 (I think) with a lower height around the heal. MUCH easier to slip on but never once did I slip out.

Fabulous all around footwear if youre not being overly active. I have them on right now. Perfect fit, and my foot slides in so easily. Good size toe box, which I always appreciate, and they look super. Would highly recommend them!

I purchased these (11 W, Black Encore Gust 2) in Sept 2021. They are a solid shoe; they take a bit of time to break in but are sturdy on the outside and through the sole, however the inside and the inner area of the heal wore very quickly. (I only weigh 158 lbs too.) Inserts breakdown sooner than I would have expected and the wear-through in the heal is disappointing. (I paid $110 in Sep 21 of 2021, now they are $120 for the same shoe, I was going to replace mine but I cannot justify the spend considering the wearing down of the interior.)

These are comfortable and provide the support I need. I can stand in these for a long stretch of time without back pain. I purchased a size 9 as I have in the past with this style. They are a little tight but I am hoping they will stretch with use.

Really good slipper, but foot slips out a little too easily. I wanted a shoe with easy access, and this shoe is very easy to get into. The only problem is that it is easy to slip out of as well. Other than that, it is comfy, eell built and looks good.

Very comfortable and easy to slip on and off. Stays secure once it is on. I wish they came in different more casual finishes but they work for dress casual. They are a tad narrow and short for my regular size. I may try a half size up in wide.
