Customer Reviews Merrell Embark Lace

First of all, these shoes are super cute. I REALLY wanted to keep them based on looks alone, but they were 1) too long 2) way too narrow and 3) very lightweight and unsupportive. My last pair of Merrell sneakers were a size 9 so I ordered the same size in the Embark, but they were definitely not sized the same. I have never had to order a wide shoe in my life, but I think with these I would need to. They were also AT LEAST a half size too big, maybe even a whole size. Also, the shoes just didn't feel like quality shoes that would hold up to a lot of wear. The material of the upper felt thin, and overall they were unsupportive. I wanted a second pair of sneakers that I could alternate with a competitor brand of running shoe, but these just didn't come close to the quality of my other ones, especially not for the price. I've already packed the shoes back up to return. If you're looking for some cute shoes strictly for looks, these might work if you order down a half size, but I wouldn't recommend for frequent wear if looking for comfort.

Terrible shoes they are not sturdy and the heel sticks out of the back and makes you trip going downstairs

These shoes are WONDERFUL. I work in a busy medical office and am sometimes on my feet all day and they have not hurt me at the end of a long day at all. I was wearing minimalist shoes for a few years and they started to hurt my feet so I was going from wearing shoes with no support to these and I had next to no issues. Maybe took a full day to get used to them. They are super comfortable and the perfect amount of support.Would buy another color if I could! Thank you Merrell!!

Comfy shoes and didn't even feel like I had anything on my feet (that's a good thing). Super light weight and my feet, legs and back were happy after wearing them. My only thing is I normally wear an 8 in normal shoes but always size up to an 8.5 on my athletic shoes bc feet expand and swell of course with exercise and such. So I went with an 8 on these bc it was recommendedwell I should've bought a 7.5. Other than that great shoe.

I love these shoes for walking, They a very light wieght, have the support I need with just a little bit of bounce. I like lthem with a lightweight liner sock. The slip on prevents any uneven pressure on the instep, while the laces allow for adjusting for just the right fit. I'm planning to buy a second pair.

Purchased to take on cruise to Alaska. Looking for something that was comfortable and would go with any outfit. Very comfortable. Love the band of where the shoe ties. Could wear all day long.

I've had these for about 3 months and I LOVE them! They're my everyday shoe. I don't think they're supposed to be true slip ons but they're very comfortable. Will buy again for sure!

Comfortable and lightweight. Easy to get on and off. Moderately supportive.

Very comfortable, well made as with all Merrell and sturdy construction

These shoes have a lot of cushion to them. I have a hard time finding shoes that I can stand and walk in for long periods without my feet killing me. However, I can walk all day in these without foot pain. They are lighter than I expected; an added bonus!

Love these sneakersso comfortable & lightweight. They are a bit difficult to put on as others have mentioned, but I figured it outloosen the laces & use a shoehorn.

Durable with comfort while being able to look nice goin anywhere.

These shoes are perfect. Comfy, spacious, and cute

Love these shoes! Super comfortable and stylish. I am a night shift nurse, and these shoes are great for being on your feet and look great, too. Great support and cushion, while being a lightweight shoe.

Happy to have a comfortable shoe and love the green color I got it matches with a lot of my clothes

Comfortable from the first wear, I use these almost every day. My knees are grateful.

I purchased these sneakers for a trip to AZ. They are not really hiking shoe, but they do possess all day walkability.

This is my fifth pair. Love these shoes. Perfect for work and play.

Very comfortable. The tread has great traction. I like that the tongue is more integrated into the shoe and not a nearly separate piece.

These shoes are the most comfortable and light shoes I've ever purchased. Highly recommend!

I have been wearing these shoes for 3-4 years now. The first pair felt so good I had to order 2 more colors. I just wish you had the shoes in a gray and navy. These are absolutely the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn!

They are so comfortable and true to size. I would recommend these shoes. I can have them on all day and they feel great. Very well made.

I decided to purchase these in hopes of help with the pain of my osteoarthritis. Definitely these sneakers have helped aid in the discomfort of walking. I ordered a wide and very glad that these particular shoes that was offered. Merrell brand was suggested to me by many.
