Merrell's run a full size wider. The Merrell Encore Gust 2 is a full size wider. I have one foot that needs a 2E and the other is an E. I ordered their W and their M sizes. M is typically equivalent to a D, but not Merrell. Merrell's M is equivalent to an E width. The M was comfortable on my E width foot but too tight on my 2E foot. I had to go with the W even though it is way too wide for my E width foot and still too wide for my 2E foot (damaged in moto X accident)

Comfort was good but the size was a bit big. Style not a favorite. Have had this same type shoe dated back in say 1916 or so. Still wearing them but thought the inner sole was now lacking comfort. Returned and bought same shoe but not leather.

It is a great looking shoe that is very comfortable,just unfortunately a half size to big. I normally wear a 15 and that is the size I ordered, but just didn’t fit my foot.

I love the ease of stepping in and out of this shoe. I don't wear shoes in my home. This shoe is perfect for ease of putting on when I go outside and is a durable outdoor shoe. I had another pair like them that I wore out. They had a problem of a squeaking/squishy noise in the sole while walking. It was rather annoying. Hopefully these won't be that way.

In my time of life, almost any shoe hurts my feet after an hour or two. This pair, however, is easily slipped off and on. Lightweight, and looks like a real adult shoe. For those of us who object to gym clothes and sneakers outside a gymnasium, a good choice.

I've been buying regular size 12 Encore shoes for years; it's the ONLY slip-on shoe that works for me. However, with advanced age, my feet are swelling some, so I ordered a Wide size, which turns out to be not wide enough, as I expected (even after removing the insole), and I will be returning them. Until you produce and Xtra wide, you've lost me as a customer.

While I normally like and usually buy Merrelll shoes, I gave this only 3 stars as it is my second pair of the same product. The last pair with a mesh top, purchased about 2 years ago, was a big disappointment. The rubber band just above the sole had detached. Perhaps that's why it is no longer available.

I have had Merrell slides for years. They fit true to size. This shoe was WAY off. I believe it was mislabeled at the factory. There is no way it was the size I normally wear. There was a full inch behind my heal in the shoe.

Merrell's are the classic and I've always worn a size 9 - too big - tried the 8.5 and still too big! But will exchange for a size 8 and hope for the best!

These are very well made but felt like slippers. They are in actuality clogs. Not what I was looking for. I've worn the Jungle Moccasins (2 pair) for years. Love those but not so much the Gust 2.

I have a lot of foot trouble. 8-10 years ago I found d the Merrell clogs. At that time there was even one with a moccasin toe. These shoes are all I can wear. I have noticed a reduction in quality over the years, both in the comfort of the arched footbed and in the quality of the leathers. This most recent pair seem to be a little shorter than the previous size tens I have been wearing for decade. All that said, these are the most comfortable shoes I can find. Just not as comfortable as they were before the manufacture moved to Vietnam.

I used to wear these, but I like Merrell Jungle Slide Clog SO much better. I bought a pair of Encore Gust 2s and they didn't even last one year. These Jungle slides are so comfortable and super well made. They will last a lot longer than the other ones. I highly recommend

I have been wearing these for 20 years and sadly they have been declining in quality and durability and now the rubber soles seperate from the upper at the toe, (my last 3 pair) the leather is thinner and the padding wears much more quickly, it is sad that the quality has been reduced while the price has increased. Please stop walmarting your products !!!

I'm certain that the shoes were mis-sized. They were huge, not a 9.5. Cardboard toe insert said 10.5. Returning. Otherwise they seemed like nice shoes. 9.5 wide is no longer available.

I ordered the same size I have ordered for several years. The shoes came almost an inch too long and somewhat narrow. I ordered a wide I realize you have changed the style a bit, but the sizing is very different.

Super comfortable, but didn't last. I've been wearing mine for over a year and the heel insole is coming apart. I really want to buy another pair, but it doesn't seem economical.

This is not my first pair of Merrell Encore, my true size is 5.5 I have been using this size for years. This one pair is half a number smaller, probably a manufacturing mistake.
