These are just as expected. True to size and good comfort. Feel so cozy on my feet, I am really happy with them!

I have ordered this Merritt Ice twice in past years. This time the 8 shoe sizing changed and I had to exchange for the 7 1/2. The fit is great and I am happy.

My Ice 4 shoes are almost a month old. I have neuropathy in my feet from my back so it is very hard to find anything. I tried these and they felt pretty god as they were but I could remove the insole and put my orthotics in them. I had my back surgery and needed to walk short distances several times a day and that is when these really were helpful. Despite what looks like a hard sole, the air bubbles in it do their job. There is room to wiggle your toes but the shoe will not come off. The backs are high enough that my feet were not cold in the 23 degree temp yesterday. They are my go to shoes and my bedroom slippers right now. Everything else hurts as the surgery heals.

These are my favorite winter shoes. They are so cozy and comfortable. The interior stays toasty, but they are also easy on/off (versus boots or other clunky shoes).

I have 4 pairs of these. With working from home I love having them for both inside and out. I have narrow feet and they are very comfortable .

I've only worn these shoes for a day, but I find them to be warm and comfortable. I bought them to use as slippers - expensive for slippers- but I am recovering from foot surgery and these have the arch support and comfort I need. They would certainly be great for general use. I originally purchased my usual size 9- too roomy. I exchanged them for an 8 1/2 which is perfect.

I bought 1/2 size larger so I can wear heavy wool socks with these shoes. I use them as slippers around the house because of the great support. This is my second pair over the years - they last a long time and keep my toes warm and cozy all winter long. You won't be sorry!

These are the most comfortable shoes. I have one pair I only wear inside, and one pair for outside to take out the garbage or a quick errand. I WISH the red came in wide!!! That’s my only issue. The brown color reminds me of something my dad would wear. I would love a more exciting color!!

I have always loved Merrells and still do but just know that these run a whole size or more bigger than previous Merrells just like them. I normally wear a 7 and I ordered a 6 1/2 and still too big. I really do think a 6 may be a little big. They are nice looking shoes, though. Just order at least a size smaller than what you normally wear.

I've been looking for a nice slip on that I can wear to work. Not only are they cute, but they are SO comfortable! They do run big though. I normally wear a 7 in closed shoes. I ordered these in a 6 1/2 to wear barefoot or with thin socks, and still had to exchange them for a 6. Merrell Customer Service is outstanding, and the exchange was easy peasy!

I love them, as usual, and want to especially thank Zappos for the great customer service that makes it so easy to return things. The first pair was the wrong size (my fault), but the return was completely hassle-free. Thank you for making shoe shopping simple even in the middle of a pandemic!

I have been trying to replace my ancient, well-worn Merrells and FINALLY found these: total and complete perfection.
The fit is (almost) identical to the originals, and the design (while slightly altered) is still very satisfying to me.
It's likely that I will quickly order another pair since they are my first choice walking shoes, great in deep winter because
they keep my feet so warm and they clean up beautifully.

I ordered 7 pairs of shoes to wear as slippers (I wanted a solid supportive shoe base that COULD be worn outside to the mailbox and such.
This was the winner. Incredibly warm- faux fur lining throughout the inside. The fur base is removable. The black color hides compression of the fur. Another pair that had white fur looked matted after an hour of indoor testing.
Solid shoe base and excellent tread. Moderate arch support but support solid for use as a slipper compared to what typical slippers are.

I bought the first pair for driving, outdoor use when it is not too sloppy. They fit so well and were so comfortable, I didn't want to take them off inside ... so bought a 2nd pair. For me, arch support, comfort overall and stability of the sole on moderately slippery surfaces is perfect. I am 66 and was starting to "shuffle" a bit inside walking in slippers. Wearing this shoe, I find that I am walking with a normal gate and standing up straight. The fluffy interior makes them slipper like if I am not wearing socks. Good value! AND, I like how they look!!

Super comfortable and warm. I slip them right on with no socks, run the kids to school, and come back home to work.

I don't want to wear any other shoe than these! Now I am only picking out clothes to go with them because they are so cozy! I could even go outside barefoot in these to walk the dog and my feet were so warm! I love them!

I love the slip-on feature of these and they are warm except the exposed heel area but that is to be expected. I've worn this style Merrell for years and use these for a quick slip on and go footwear. They last for a long long time!
I do find these a bit hard and wish it had more cushioning but that's easily remedied by inserting a thicker insole. I also wish the fuzzy trim up around the top was a bit longer and fuller but I find that's only available in lesser quality footwear. These serve their purpose for what I need and they have proven to be worth the investment.

I've worn various pairs of these shoes every winter for the last 10 years or so. They've survived Colorado, Minnesota, and upstate New York with great success - very warm, great traction, great arch support. They're the perfect shoes when the snow is not deep but it's cold outside and you need to slip something on. Highly recommended. You may want to re-waterproof the suede every few years with a waterproofing spray.

I originally order this shoe in a size 7 1/2 - too big. That shoe was returned for a size 7. The left shoe was great but the right shoe fit the same as a 7 1/2. I reordered another size 7 and voila - the right shoe fit just right, so now I had a pair of 7's that actually fit. I returned the other size 7. So it took 3 pair to get the correct size and fit, but I really like the shoe.

Exactly right size and width. My normal is a size 8 wide and they fit perfectly. Nice quality shoe with a thick suede upper and a nice sturdy sole. Easy to slip on and off quickly which is why I purchased them in the first place. I did need to pull out the insole which was fuzzy like the inside of the shoe but very thin so did not do much to support my arches. The shoe itself has some built in support but I definitely needed more. It was easy to remove and replace the insole. I just got these a few weeks ago and am already considering them in another color because I like them so much!
