I love the shoes, easy slip on and super comfortable. They are a little big and wide

Fabulous winter shoe with plush shearling for maximum warmth. From the pictures I couldn't tell if the shearling was along the top. When the shoes arrived I was pleased that the shearling was all around the inside providing a perfect pocket if warmth.
They are sturdy enough to wear out of the house for short errands, but I wouldn't wear them anywhere that required much walking. The tag is really in the way and on each shoe. I was able to tuck it under the sole and most of the time I don't notice it.
Freezy,

I usually wear 8 - 8.5. The 8.5 feels slightly small, I tried a 9, and that's too big. Probably the fit will loosen a bit as the fleece is worn down.

I have worn this type of Merrell for years. I usually wear an 8M. I first purchased the 8M. It was too long, so I purchased the 7.5M and it was too wide.

Although I like these Merrell Encore Ice shoes they run really large and wide compared to the Merrell Encore Fashion Ice style which are no longer available. The Fashion style fit perfectly and felt much more supportive than this style. I would buy several more pairs of the Merrell Ice Fashion style if they make them again.

Love tgevshoe. Just thought the back heel was higher. This was more of a slipper and doesn't work so well if there's snow

Not the cutest shoe in the world, a bit clunky! But quite comfortable and warm. It has a removable insole so I can add my custom orthotic which is great for me! Makes great covid slip on easy to wear shoe!

I love these clogs. BUT...they run large & wide. I bought an 11; probably could have used a 10 or 10.5. I have a high instep, but medium width foot, not really narrow. Once the shearling mats down they'll be swimming unless I wear socks. Otherwise, great color, style & function for our mild SW CO winters.

I love that I can just slip these on and take my pup for a walk on cold Montana mornings ! Love the color too and so comfy ! I would've given them 5 stars but the insole linings are already coming apart and I've only had them a month .

I have very high arches and neuromas. I now have 2 pairs of these shoes.. one for indoors and one pair for outdoors. With fleece linings, I rarely wear socks. Love them!!

These seem to run quite big and they do not have the same ultra comfortable sole that my other Merrill shoes have had but they are sturdy, warm and cute.

These provide wonderful support and can be worn as a sturdy slipper or casual shoe. Love these in so many ways. However, within the first couple hours of wearing, the fluffy insert under the foot was matted. For the price, it seems a more substantial pile is not an unreasonable expectation. I suspect it will need to be replaced within a couple months, unlike my previous Ugg slippers which had an insert that lasted about a year. I opted for the Merrill this time for the additional support.

Great shoes for running out with the dog first thing in the winter morning. I usually wear a size 7.5 but I got these in a 7 and they still feel slightly big. I kept them because they are perfect if I'm wearing socks. Supremely unattractive, but comfortable, and cozy and supportive enough for a good stroll.

These are very comfortable and warm, while also being sturdy enough for walking casually outside. I took off one star because my left shoe after two weeks of wear is now squeaking with every step on the heel, as if part of the inner workings of the shoe have deteriorated, which is mildly annoying. They are great as a casual walking shoe, but I wouldn't recommend as a good walking shoe for long walks outside.

I received these slippers with a darkened area on the front of 1 shoe. I tried to ignore it because I love Merrill's so much but it bothers me now. Not sure how to get rid of it. Great product otherwise!

I have been wearing Merrill Encores for years. I have multiple pairs in different colors. I wear them on long winter walks (2-3 miles) with my dog. I wanted to replace a pair that was wearing out. This year's model is a slipper, not a shoe. The heel is so wide that I walk right out of it. I rated it high because it would be fine for someone looking for a slipper, just not a shoe.

When I received these shoes, I was happy I ordered a half size smaller...they fit perfectly and I love the blue color. Not so happy with the inserts. I took them out and added my own orthotics. Also, they have a very chemical-like smell out of the box so I am airing them out in the garage currently.

These run big. I wear a 9.5 to 10 and had to return the 9.5 for a 9. That stated, they look fantastic and I am looking forward to wearing them!

super comfy and warm - using as house shoes, running errands. A little on the wide side, so wouldn't consider long walks or hiking in them.

Runs a half size large with a thin skimpy foot insole (half polyester and half wool). Used an UGG insole to replace the original and the shoe, still a bit wide, was warm and comfortable with some support.

Love my encore 4 shoes! I use them primarily as slippers. My 4 stars are because the tip of the shoes have become worn and shiny with less than a month of owning them.

These run big, long and wide. With heavy socks they were OK, but I wanted them as slippers. Also there there wasn’t enough arch support to keep my feet in place. They look nice and feel soft and cozy, but the medium width is quite wide. I ordered a 39M and wear that size in Think!, Naot, Josef Seibel, and Dansko.

This is the third pair of these clogs. The fit is a little larger than the previous two pairs, but only a little so. Just enough to make them better with socks. Very comfortable and still my winter go to for messy upstate NY weather. They keep my feet warm and dry.
