Had to use huge insole that would not fit in any other shoe. Then was OK, but shoe looks big on foot....is a size too big.

For me, it runs large. I have another pair from years ago that fit fine in size 8.......I ended up with a 7.5 and it's still a little roomy. Very comfortable and warm.

These are super comfortable right out of the box! But they do run very big and wide! I am normally a 7 1/2 W, but the 7M fit me perfectly! Definitely size down on these!

I have an old pair of these in a size 8 - the new ones are way bigger, I might even have gone a full size down but I chose 7.5 instead - still roomy but heavier socks will help. I like the new gray color.

I got a pair same model last year, but this year, there was less fur inside, so the shoes are a little big. I'm keeping them anyway, because I wore them outside before I realized they were slightly too big.

After seeing the reviews, I ordered a 1/2 size smaller. It's still too big! I am returning for another 1/2 size smaller. They are so comfortable!! I really love these shoes.

I just received my shoes today. The quality is there but the fit is different from my former pairs of Merrills. I have been wearing size 11m with the last 3 pairs with fur inside. This pair I had to take a size 10m in order for them to stay on my feet when I walk. They still feel loose at the heel, but I am keeping them hopefully they will form to my feet.

I absolutely love these shoes, but was sad to notice that they run large... after I'd already worn them outside. Bummed because now I can't return them. Though they're expensive, they're worth the price. Be sure to walk around the house in them before you decide to keep them!

The shoes felt a half size too large. I normally wear a size 9. I went with the Zappos suggested size 9 1/2 assuming the shoes probably was running smaller in size. But that was not the case. I am returning the size 9 1/2 for a size 9 and hope this size will fit a lot better.

Ran large, but I wear wool socks and they’re EXTRA snuggy.

These shoes are so comfortable. But they do run big. I always get a "wide" in walking or running shoes. But I did not need wide in these. They do run big I feel. Consequently I do not feel I have the support I need to walk any distance. They would be perfect if they fit tighter with more support.

They have a bigger fit. I can't wear mine because they are too big.

This is a very good looking show. I usually wear a 7 and ordred the first pair at that size based on the review of Fits to size. Too big, returned it and then ordered the size down 6.5. It arrived today and it is still too big. I will order the 6 now and hope it fits. At this point my foot swims in the shoe.

I just got mine today in the mail, so time will tell how well they last (that's the only reason I rated a 4 instead of a 5, just haven't worn them enough), but first impression is that they fit really nicely. Exactly what I was looking for, something with decent support that I can wear in the house while I work from home this winter, and can also wear them outside. I had read some reviews here that the sizing ran big, I completely disagree, I think the sizing is perfect.

Just got it. Good quality. But the 10 size compared to other size 10s I've bought (boots and slip on full shoes) is bigger. I have to now exchange it.

I went up a half size to leave room for heavy socks but should have just ordered my reg size. And, my last pair of Merrell had a great insole, but this Ice 4 has no arch support. I would reorder in smaller size if it had the Merrell insert/arch support I was expecting

The insoles won't stay put. Have to push them back in all most every time. Comfy shoes though.

Very nice shoe. I purchased to wear indoors as a slipper. Only concern is lack of arch support

I bought these a few weeks ago, was a little disappointed at first, especially for the price, I found the souls too hard and little arch support. I added formed in-souls under the sheerling in soul. Glad I bought a little bigger for addition and thick socks. Super warm, I wear them indoors. Love them.

I LOVE these shoes. But they are much larger than your previous sizing. I purchased these a few years ago in an 8.5. This 8.5 was way too big. The 8 is only mm's smaller and also too large. This was also true for the mesh summer style I bought this year. Your lasts have changed!

I ordered a 7.5 and my heel was over the back of the shoe. My sister-in-law is a 5.5 and the shoe fit her perfectly with socks. She could not be more thrilled that I gave the shoes to her. She wears them around the clock and loves the shearling lining.

I agree with other reviews; I've worn an 8-8.5 in this and other shoes but find the current design significantly larger than past Encore orders. I've ordered and returned an 8.5 then an 8 and now returning for a 7.5. Hopeful that this fits correctly.

I will preface that I have VERY narrow feet so getting shoes that don't come in a narrow width to fit, it's always a challenge. So I removed the insoles that came w/ these and replaced them w/ a pair of Ugg shearling replacement insoles. The Ugg shearling is WAY nicer. It's thicker and the insole itself is a thicker foam. I realize that may not be an option for everyone but if you have narrower feet, it should work. Super cute shoe. Hubby loved the red. They are definitely a chunky clog but for running a quick errand or taking the dog out w/ out having to put on socks and lace up shoes, these are going to be awesome. I wish that the fabric was waterproof. Maybe I'll Scotchguard them.
