After reading other reviews, I ordered in my size rather than 1/2 bigger that I often do with Merrell - they fit perfectly. Are warm and cozy for CO mountain winters and easy to get on and off for quick dog walks.

I really love these! I got the blue color and they're really pretty. The foot bed is cushiony and feels really good. They do take a few days to break in, they do change the way you stand and walk. At first I wasn't sure but after slowly building up my time wearing them, I realized I stood up straighter and walked better, reducing the pain in my legs, hips and back that my other shoes caused. They run about a half size up. I normally wear a 9 in everything except Merrill's, I bought an 8.5 and they fit perfectly. My only complaint is that because they are a moc, I don't feel a hundred percent solid walking on more than a dusting of snow. I would like to see Merrell put an Arctic grip on these. That is only my opinion and others might not have the same experience wearing them. Other than that, I love them. Very beautiful, easy to clean and very comfortable.

Love the shoes, but they are seasonal. Feel a bit like outdoor, warm and fuzzy slippers. Good for cold weather and being lazy. Not professional, and not good for the summer.

Has Merrill changed their sizing because my last two orders in 8 1/2 were more like nine or 9 1/2?

the quality has gone way down. I had the same shoe from 7 years ago with a nice arch. This shoe was flat. Also way too wide. Cheap construction.

I’ve worn these shoes for a decade. Gone through 2 purple and 2 black. I haven’t been able to continue because the quality has gone down. The right shoe was wider than the left. The size was 91/2 and felt like 101/2. Very disappointing.

The material was really cheap; a little piece of furry fabric was loose in the left shoe to be the insole, I guess. In the past I ordered encore shoes and they were great. The fit well, had great support and were made from quality material. This year the encore shoes are really disappointing.

I have so many pairs of Merrells in this style and also without the furry lining. Needless to say, I love them and live in them much of the year, they are my go-to shoe. I work on my feet all day and these are the only shoes that don't hurt.
I will say that the quality has gone down a bit, sadly,
since I started wearing these many years ago.

These have the look and comfort I am looking for. However, I found the shoe quite a bit too big. I'm not sure if I need 1/2 or a full size smaller - ordered both...so, fingers crossed one of them works.

I'm a confirmed 9.5 wide, so that's what I first ordered. They were so wide that they would not stay on my feet. So I returned and got 9.5 medium. They are perfect. Have ordered another pair, because they are my new favorite everyday shoe.

Glad I read the reviews. I ordered a half size down and medium width. The toe box is quite roomy and it fits perfect in the length. These will be my winter indoor footwear. I live on a farm and have dogs, so never want to go barefoot or in stocking feet. I can even dash outside in these. Love them!

I loved my Merrell hiking boots I bought before going to Ireland and then CA so when I saw the Encore Ice 4 I really hoped it would be an amazing find for an outside shoe to take our Samoyed "puppy" (he's 12) out for his morning and evening walks. Turns out...this is the MOST comfortable and cozy casual "moccasin" shoe to do that! I absolutely love the support and although I love it I will be buying another pair in a slightly larger width (I do have a wider foot should've gone with the wide instead of medium but ya never know how they will wear. So I will be keeping it and getting another in 6.5 wide. You cannot go wrong with Merrell's!!! Definitely Recommend but go ahead and feel secure in ordering your normal size. They are true to that (at least for me). Love, Love, Love my Merrell!!!!

I have purchased several pairs of the Encore Ice 4 over the years. They are comfortable right out of the box. The furry interior, and slip-on ability are perfect for me since I am often outside for unexpected brief periods of time (I am a gardener and provide shelter/food for several community cats). They are quite durable, and the wooly interior feels just wonderful after a day of tromping around in hiking shoes or boots. By the way, I have a severe bunion on the left foot and am totally flat footed. The arch is not quite as strong as I sometimes need, but the Encore Ice 4 allows me to slip in a stronger arch insert if I choose. I hope Merrill continues to make this shoe for a long, long time.

These clogs are nice and warm, easy to put on and won't slip off but are much too wide for my narrow AA size foot.

The best EVER footwear. Perhaps my favorite of all time. I have three pairs, all in different colors. One I use as my outdoor pair and two as indoor only (think glorified slippers). I love the fit, the comfort, the look, the colors, the coziness, the arch support, the sturdiness, the quality. I love absolutely everything about them. They are totally my go-to footwear during 3 months out of the year.

I absolutely loves these shoes! Spring sports in North Idaho are so cold, but this season my feet stay warm in the slip-on Encore Ice shoes. They are easy to clean with just a wet wash cloth too. It did take 3-4 times wearing them to break them in completely, as at first they felt very slightly rigid. Now they perfectly comfortable. I absolutely will buy these again.

I've had these for four months and I would prefer not to have to wear any other shoes. Super cozy, nice degree of stability and more comfortable than bare feet or socks.

I bought a pair of fleece lined pebble leather Merrells about 10 yrs ago which I am still wearing daily in cold weather but a lot of the fleece has worn away. Last year I could not find a leather replacement, only in suede which isn't great for outdoors in wet weather. Happy to say Merrell made them in smooth leather, much more suitable. My feet are always cold and these are great!

Absolutely perfect. This is my second pair. The first pair withstood 6 years of daily wear. I would definitely buy another when the time comes.
