My husband always wears a 12 M which is the size I bought. He actually had to use his hands to put them on which means to me they were too short. He complained about his heels coming up out of the shoes, and that they were uncomfortable. However, the gray color and the look of the shoe was very nice. I had to return.

Jungle Moc in wide are my most favorite shoe, but I wanted something like a slip on slide for around the house, like the Jungle Moc slide (as of this review, they don't offer those in wide). I was hoping for a wide version of the jungle mocs slides, these Encore Bypass aren't. There is a lot of room in the toe area but it gets a lot tighter around the leather band part at the top. The bottoms are hard and stiff. They are not the around the house shoes I was hoping for, they might work for others. I'm going back to the jungle moc wide shoe even tho it's not a slide on.
For reference I have a wide cavus foot/high arch

I tried them on and i am pleased with the fit - especially the wider width that a lot of these shoes don't offer.
My major concern is the smell - what are they made of that they smell so bad??? I currently have them in an open window for the last 3 days. If they don't stop stinking in about a week, i may just return them. I do have concerns about putting my feet in them. Very disappointing for a Merrell product

What happened to Merrill sizing? My husband has worn Merrill for over ten years, always size 10.5. I have ordered a third pair (returned two) because the next size(s) up did not fit. If an 11.5 does not fit, we’ll look for another brand.

This pair of shoes has a label inside that says US size 8.5 and EUR 42.5 which is incorrect. The shoes are definitely size 42.5 They are about an inch too long. The original packaging has been discarded. What are my options?

Far too tight and the back slip was far too short to comfortable stay on. Felt like an uncomfortably tight slipper with a thick sole.

It was a nice looking shoe but did not fit my husband's foot. Had to send them back and reselect a different style of shoe.

This was to have been my 4th or 5th pair of this particular Merrell shoe, but they had to be returned...the BYPASS 2 is different from the original BYPASS, & (IMO) shows a decline in quality. After having a perfect fit for all my previous pairs, this pair was a full-size too small. There are no side expansion panels, and altho I have always loved the styling, (to me) it's just not the same shoe. Disappointing.

I got these because they appear to be easy on/off shoes and look well ventilated. They are, but that is where the compliments stop. They are tighter than other Merrell shoes I've ordered. And there is almost no padding or cushioning on the insole, in spite of the "Air Cushion" advertised. Would exchange for the wide version if there was more cushioning.
Will return them.

Not what I expected. I’ve been wearing Merrill clogs and shoes for over 30 years. There is no elastic stretch sewn in. top leather too tight. Returned them. The older styles were much better designed and made. ?

These shoes were not like the 4 other pair I bought from Zappos like these Merrell clogs. They looked like a cost reduced model. I ended up
buying them from Amazon,..in the color I wanted....and this pair was just the 4 others I bought from you. Something was not right.
Also it was $10 cheaper even with your special promo savings. That is why I returned them to you.

I have now worn these shoes for about one month hoping they would stretch; They have not and remain too small I have purchased these shoes many time through Zappos without a problem. I would like to return theses shoes and rec eive a refund.

I have had other Encore Bypass shoes before so I bought another pair since my old ones wore out. the new pair did not fit properly and were very uncomfortable.

The distance from heel to front of the collar is longer than in prior versions, so my foot is less restrained. The fabric stretched almost immediately with little wear. Net result is my foot slides forward now, a gap in the back, toes jammed into the front. The soles are hard. In all, the most uncomfortable shoes I've tried to wear. I'd send them back for refund if I could. If not, I'll donate them and move one.

I have been wearing the Merrell Encore for years. I received a pair the other day and to my, total, disappointment the shoe was horribly made; and had an incredibly toxic smell of petroleum and burnt rubber. They smelled so badly that I could not leave them in the house and had to return them immediately.
Also, in place of the older inner sole, they are now using some cheaply made, toxic-smelling, rubber for the inner sole which destroys the integrity of the inner sole.
Sadly to say, because I use to love the Merrell Encore, I would not recommend this shoe.
