Customer Reviews Merrell Encore 4 Bluff Polar Waterproof

These are just what I hoped for. They are comfortable and warm.. So far, they seem completely waterproof. I enjoy wearing them both inside and outside!

I love this pair of Merrells. My favorite winter shoes, perfect fit, great soles, just the right amount of fuzzy inside, strongly made. I know because 5 years ago I bought a nearly identical pair, and they were my best shoes for 3 winters. Then I switched to something less lovable, now have returned to Merrells. I rarely zip them up, but it's easy to do. I'm an active 75yo woman, outdoors a lot, but gladly wear these in town too.

I'm wearing these boots for everyday when we have rain or a few inches of snow. They are warm and the lining gives them a cozy feel. My shoe size is 6.5-7 and I ordered a 7 which is perfect, esp if you want to wear a thick sock or put inserts in. They run a bit big, but not enough in my opinion to down size. My daughter ordered a pair after she saw mine and she loves them too!

Very happy with this purchase. I read an equal number of reviews that they ran small or ran large so decided to order my standard size for a boot where I plan to wear thicker sock. I've worn them now about 10+ hours and can use a Michigan winter sock without issue. Yes, as many have noted, the loop on side doesn't help much with pulling them on but it's a minor inconvenience. If unzipped, just lean against a wall and pull on. I really love how comfortable they feel and the look when going around town for errands or fun. Probably wouldn't wear for planned activities like hiking or in snow.

Excellent fit. A bit tight to put on but got easier in time. Very water-resistant, which is what I wanted. If they make these in a higher boot, I'll get them next time.

These are comfortable and versatile. I thought they may be tight as I prefer Merrell's wider sizes, but since these were close out, I got them anyway and have not been disappointed. They're great for casual wear and around the office.

I love my boot, It's warm and dry. I have a narrow foot and it feels good wearing it all day.great

A great pair of boots. Look nice with jeans. Waterproof and warm inside. Very comfy.

These boots are warm and comfortable. I wore them on a trip to several European Christmas markets. They remained comfortable all day!

This is my second pair because I wore out my first pair after a few years of serious dog walking in cold and wet weather. Warm, waterproof, and cute enough to wear with slouchy socks and leggings.

Great boots! Very versatile. Didn't have to "break them in". Wear them with everything, jeans, leggings/skirts and dresses. Never disappointed with comfort and support when I choose Merrells.

Wore these shoes to walk in NYC at Christmas. Was really impressed with the warmth. Experienced less walking fatigue too. Pleased with this purchase.

This is my 3rd pair, one for dress, one work, and one for the trails. Love these comfy, versatile boots!

I got these an once again Murrells did not Disappoint Very comfortable and true to size thay are my go 2 boots.

Purchased these for a winter trip to Germany and so glad I did. I went up 1/2 size to accommodate wool socks and am very happy with the fit. The boots fit comfortably and accomodate custom orthopedics without an issue.

I got these at a Bin Store. What an amazing find!! They fit perfectly, are warm, amazing for walking and easy hikes!! I'm going to invest in a higher top pair at full price because they are so amazing!!

Waterproof, warm, comfortable and nice style paired with jeans and slacks. My go-to for travel to Europe.

I put these to work immediately with wet dog walks and standing all day at work. Absolute keepers. They are warm, light, roomy and nice brushed suede that wipes clean easily. The only sound while walking is the zipper clicking but this is not a problem. The traction is outstanding on wet surfaces so far. I am a 6.5-7 and ordered a 7 which will accommodate medium socks. I can get them on hands free while standing. Hoping they hold up for many years to come.

Comfortable, warm and stylish. Keeps my feet warm in the cold of winter and the grip is strong. I feel confident wearing these short boots on icy walkways and in and out of the car.

Absolutely love these boots. They are stylish, functional and very comfortable. I'm an arthritic senior citizen and the boots are easy to put on. Well worth the money!

These boots are so comfy that I'm currently only wearing them inside. They're very warm and stylish

Bought in November 2022, look great, super stylish and fit is perfect. I get so many compliments when I wear them. I live in a rural area and they are great for woods, mud, creeks and still look good out and about. Wore them to a party last weekend

I love my new boots. They are comfortable and lots of toe space.

We spent a week in Santa Fe during a snowy patch. These were the only shoes I wore the whole trip. They were high enough to get me through the fresh snow, often 4" + deep and maintained dry, warm feet throughout. I find the boot difficult to get on if I don't use my long handled shoehorn. They are very comfortable with a roomy toe space and I'm able to use my orthotics, as I do in all my Merrells.

Beautiful and comfortable, however, had to return since I was looking for something that was easier to slip on and go.
