This is my third pair of the Encore Breeze. While it is still a good shoe, I am disappointed that the cushioning of this pair is significantly less. This is likely to reduce the wear everywhere all the time character of the shoe.

I have other pairs of Merrill shoes and have liked them, but not so thrilled with these.

The Merrell Encore Breeze 5 seemed to run narrower than my old ones and were not as comfortable. I ordered two sizes, my regular size and one a half size smaller. My regular size fit the best. I returned them both because for the price they were not worth it. The area on the top of the foot was larger than my old ones and were harder to get on and off. They just were not as comfortable as my old ones are.

This Merrell Breeze 5 seemed to fit as expected in the length, but it felt a little narrower than my old ones. I ordered my regular size and also one a half size smaller. My regular size fit the best. The material on the top of the foot area was larger than my old ones so they were not as easy to put on. The cushioning sort of felt like it was less too, but it may have been because they were new and not broken in so to speak. I returned them because they were expensive and did not suit me in the fit.

Very disappointed. These were my go to shoes and i needed another pair. When they arrived i couldn't believe how bad the construction of the shoe was...not up to the past high standard.

They do not fit as well as the Breeze 3 or Breeze 4 (which I wear constantly). My heels came out of the shoes when I walked in them.

I love the Merrell clogs when I can find a good pair. The problem with them is that the sizing is inconsistent from one pair to another in the same style. I’ve had to try many to get pairs that fit me.
This was the first time I had tried this new style, and they weren’t good. They were too long and too wide and too big in the instep.
They are nice looking and well cushioned and accommodate orthotics.

I've been wearing the new encore breeze for over two months. I reviewed them early on and they seemed ok but after wearing them longer I find them sloppy and not nearly as supportive. They run bigger and wider than the earlier ones. As a person with a narrow/medium foot this is a big issue. Also the super shiny color is not a winner. Every time I put them on I take them off and put on my old ones.

I read all the reviews, and these came highly recommended, I ordered my usual size and the width was ok, but the length was way long. Could almost trip...I would order another size, but there isn’t any arch support at all. Had to return.

I've been wearing Encore Breeze in various colors for MANY years due to comfort and style. Sorry to say the quality has been deteriorating over the past 2-3 years. Every shoe has collapsed in front.

I have been wearing Encore Breeze and my collection for summer needs refreshing. Sadly the 5 has a very high instep which ,for me,ade the shoe very uncomfortable. I did just order a size up to see whether that might help but I fear that the whole shoe will now slip.
Happy to see the pinkish color but bring back the orange and hot pick pleeeexe lol. They were so much fun and mine are worn to pieces. I also really object as yomthe difficulty in returning the shoes that don't fit. No slip..no invoice ... nonsense.

I find the foot bed very different and difficult to get used to walking in. The seems too spongy for me., However, the width in the toe bed does feel better

My son bought me a size 8 m in the encore slip on aluminum several years back and it was a favorite, great fit and very comfortable. When I needed another pair, I bought the same but this pair has not been as sturdy, the soles are peeling off both shoes, very disappointing.
Disappointed,

Merrill’s length and width on both Encore Breeze and Ice seems to get narrower and shorter along with the Toe box, in both width and height. It is just too form-fitting now, especially for those of us who would like to be able to wear comfortably around the house with a thin sock.

My main complaint about this show is, that despite its description of odor control, it has just about no odor control and I was forced to order another pair after the first ended up stinking. then the replacement pair also ended up stinking. So I will never order another pair of these. Way to expensive to have to replace because there isn't any odor control and the shoe get so smelly it is impossible to wear.

I bought the black color in size 10 wide. The right shoe is much tighter than left. I own two other pairs of the same style shoe in a 10.5 med, which fit fine. I think the shoe is not sized correctly I would return but I wore them around my house. Trying to stretch the shoe out so I can hopefully wear someday.

These shoes are lower quality than the Merrill's I recall. I ordered them to wear around the house and manage plantar fasciitis.
They look just like the photos and just as I expected. It's the ride that is missing the mark.
There is not a great arch support. I decided to invest in this shoe expecting good support, and ultimately ended up buying an insert that costs 2/3 of the cost, so now they are really expensive. After 2 weeks of wear they are very loud and constantly squeaking. I ordered the wide and , they are good in my toe box but tight on my foot at the opening and the top of my foot gets sore. I bought them to help my sore feet feel better.
Next time I won't shop online and I will likely try another brand.

These felt very different from the former versions which I loved. Cheap looking trim, hits higher on front than it used to.
