They were way to wide for my narrow foot. I have an older pair and they fit great. I have to send them back due to size, however they are very comfortable, warm, and non slip. I love my old ones!!

Not so great. The insoles keep bunching up and it is really irritating. Also I bought the dark blue and the dye came off on my toes for the first few months. They fit great and the support is good but the other two issues are enough to stop me from buying again

As soon as I took the shoes out of the box, the black insole fell right out of the left shoe. I am now trying to find a shoe repair shop to fix this defect so I can send them to the person i bought them for. This is upsetting and very unusual for a Merrell product. I have a pair that I absolutely love and have stood the test of time. I hope these will as well as soon as I get them fixed.

The new Merrell's Encore Ice go to far up the top of the foot, and cut in near the front of the bend of the foot. Looks similar but its not the same. Merrell should go back to the old molds for these shoes!

Seemed like a nice shoe, however the two different pairs I had to return was a huge hassle and I didn't get to have them for the cold weather. Apparently they had a shipment of wrongly marked sizes, so both pairs were way too large for me. After that I returned them and then ordered Encore Nova 4 wide fit , which I love.

I have a pair of these shoes and love them. Bought them many years ago. When I saw these available I was so excited, so you can imagine my disappointment when they arrived and they were not made as well, so much so I immediately returned them. They were grey and a perfect color. The fur was not the same, very cheap, no support, overall was not worth the money. I would like to think one day this shoe will once again be what it once was. Unfortunately things seem to continue to get worse. By the way, looking at it even now the sole and look are the same. It is the internal makings that changed.

Disappointing changes and a downgrade from the Encore Ice 2, which had a different shape that fit my foot better with great arch support and a full shearling lining. The lining on the Ice 4 may contain a small amount of shearling; it does not feel like it's 100%. Also, the tag was sewn in a way that it sticks up into the foot instead of laying down under the insole. Feels like a cheap imitation of the Ice 2.

Comfortable shoes but fleece insert not glued in. Fleece and inside of shoe turned my feet and socks black. Ruined multiple pairs of socks. Bought beige pair & set black aside.

I was disappointed in this product. It says the lining is shearling, and years ago when I bought this shoe it was in fact all shearling, but now the footbed is a combination wool/polyester and the upper lining does feel like real shearling either. I love my old Merrill's with the real shearling, and I did not want polyester. I am returning these.

I wore out my old pair of these. These shoes are a pale imitation of the older pair. The quality of construction is inferior to the older pair. And the fit is completely different - the new version allows for more foot volume and my foot just swims in it. Very disappointed as it was my go to shoe for walking the dogs in the winter!

This is my fourth or fifth pair of Merrill encore ice slip-ons. And I'm completely disappointed. My earlier pairs, including the pair I was replacing, had a warm, snuggly feel to the shoe. No socks needed. The ones I just purchased don't begin to have the comfort or shearling snugness of its predecessors. It feels like there is less than 1/4 of the quantity of shearling. I'm a 7.5 in all of my earlier Encore Ice pairs, and I had to drop down a half size with this pair. The shearling lining feels so sparse/thin that socks are necessary . which is not what I wanted. I'm very disappointed in these Merrill's. They feel like a cheap version or knockoff of the shoe that I have loved for years.

I've been buying Encore Ice slides for years but the last pair I purchased this winter season don't come close to the same fit, quality or comfort as previous years offerings. Previous years the fit was supportive and the slide felt substantial. I ordered my normal size but the fit was too large and sloppy. Exchanged for half a size smaller and they still feel sloppy. More like a slipper than supportive footwear. The quality is clearly not there anymore and disappoints me as I loved these slides in the past.

But the heel area felt odd, not comfortable, closed at the sides yet loose. Very rounded toe, looks dowdy.

The Encore Ice 4 is a different cut then all encore ice prior. It runs longer and wider. I've been ordering the Encore Ice for over 10 years and it always ran true to size. A perfect fit. The Encore Ice 4 is lighter, longer wider and more square in the toe area. Disappointed they changed the fit. I'm going to try a half size down and I never where that size in any shoe.

The insole came out right away (although it sticks back in as well), but made it seem as though these shoes are not good quality and would not last long at all.

I should have payed attention to the reviews that said these new Encore Ice 4 were way wider than the Encore Ice 2...they were!!! I ordered my usual size 7.5 and they are so wide I feel like they are falling off my foot. Returning them...I dont think ordering down a size will improve the width factor. This is sad because I've worn & loved Merrell's Encore Ice 2 for years & years...now I need a substitute.

loved these Merrell's through the years. have had several of this style. so once again I opt to get a fresh pair. found the Encore Ice 4 to be very different than earlier versions. sizing is off. lining is not plush. trademark Merrell embossed logo is no where to be seen. suede is thinner. all around, I find them to be a much cheaper version of the originals. don't like these new Encore Ice 4's. but I do Love Zappos!

Very disappointed I ordered shoes pre-pandemic and finally had the chance to wear them. Quality is lacking compared to my older pair. They do nothing but squeak. If it wasn't too late, they would've been returned

Comfortable shoes but the sizing has definitely changed from last year. Now the shoe is so wide it wouldn’t stay on my feet when I walked. Very disappointed that I had to return them as my older pair is one of my favorite shoes

Was disappointed because the "fur" was not like these used to be especially in the sole. The "fur" is now a cheap and flat material which is not the cushioning. Too bad these have changed and not for the better
