Customer Reviews Merrell Encore 4 Tall Polar Waterproof

Ok, so...These are the most comfortable boots I own. Since the first time I put them on, I wear these daily. I wore them in NY during winter, Big Bear in the snow and daily in California just because they are so comfortable, keep my feet dry and look super cool!

Very cozy and no break in period. Wore these in NYC during cold and snow. Very lightweight, so they traveled well in my carry on.

The perfect boot for me. Easy on/off, good traction, and warm. Good fit.

Bought these to wear when I walk the dogs this winter. They are supper comfortable and warm.

I bought these Merrell boots for a trip to Alaska in February. They are very comfortable and water resistant. My only wish is that they were a little warmer. My old Merrell Boots had a genuine fleece lining that I really wished the new boots had.

Good quality boots, comfortable for walking, and good fit for my wide feet. I gave a 4 star because they are not as warm as my previous pair, which I had had for many years.

Really liking my new boots. They fit true to size, give me solid footing on slippery terrain and are easier to put on and off than a lace up. They are not quite as warm as I expected a boot labeled polar to be though.

Overall boots are good. I bought them because of the arch support and the tread which I have in my walking shoes and love. No break in period needed. Only 4 stars given for 2 reasons. First, the fleece lining seems thin and secondly I have some difficulty putting boots on. I have a higher arch and wish the zipper was longer or better yet a zipper up the back.

Comfy but make a squeak sound. At first I thought it was the zipper pull hitting the zipper, but the more I walk it appears there's something in the sole that makes them squeak, yes squeak like a baby shoe, when I take a step. Otherwise I can wear them all day - very comfortable and warm.

I love these boots. Very comfortable for a hiking boot. Wore them on a hike and they have good grip. Could use a little more support around the ankle, it has stretched out.

Just received these in size 10. They fit perfectly over my smart wool socks! Nice support in my heels and very comfortable! My only hang up is that they have zero traction on the ice in my wintery driveway! I had hoped they help me out a little, but I still love them!

It's wet in California and snow in the Sierra mountains.Great boot!

Nice boots, comfy, but the pull on leather loops broke after a few wears.

The boot is a great design idea but, it runs small. I normally wear an 8 regular width or a 7.5 wide. This fits like a 7.5 regular width, it's quite narrow.

Super comfy. I ordered a size larger, so I could wear heavy socks for extra warmth, and they are perfect. Wish the soles had a bit more traction on snowy conditions.

These have now been tested in below zero MN winter (snow, ice, wind). Been wearing them out & about for about a month now. Can confirm they're waterproof & have excellent traction. They're fairly warm, but I added genuine sheepskin fleece insoles that I bought elsewhere & don't regret it. I have narrow feet & ordered my normal size 8 & they fit perfectly. Light weight for a winter boot, which is nice. They're not awkward (no clunky clunk) to walk in like most winter boots. I was stopped and asked where I bought them a couple of times by strangers. I'd buy them again. I'm sure they'll last me a few years at least. Now Merrell, can I ask for a version fully lined with sheepskin fleece? I'd happily pay more. Some of us out here in freezing winters would really appreciate it. Just a suggestion.

Just a bit difficult to put on unless I am sitting down. Totally r/t age and anatomy.

Comfortable, fit true to size. Not as warm as my previous pair however.
