I've had an earlier pair of this style and loved them. These are pretty close. Just a tad big. My heel slips up slightly. Love them overall.

Im glad ignored a couple of negative review and decided to give it a try, I'm happy with the shoes, it fits like a glove, easy to put on and to take off. I even wore the shoes on a short hike without any problem. The shoes is very stable every step.

Super comfortable, which is saying a lot given osteoarthritis in my feet. They go with anything casual and are just so incredibly comfortable and light. I'm thrilled that I took a chance on a pair and I'll surely be back for another pair when needed.

Encore Breeze is my go-to footwear. V5 cushioned insole is great. Usually wear 8.5, a little too big. Have Burlwood in 8.0. Love the color. I'm 83 yo retired Emergency Dept RN

I bought a pair last year and they are my most comfortable shoes. Very good traction and despite open back they stay on my feet very well. Buying another pair in different color.

Nice design, great padding under the foot - feels good on my feet. Toe box is good and gives enough room for my toes. I am using these for slippers, so I wear them every morning and evening. Soft mauve color, which works good for slippers and is apparently one of the fashionable colors today.

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 had several pairs in the past, size 9. These new brands are way to big so I had to return them.

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.

Ordered these slip ons in a size 9. I typically wear either an 8 1/2 or 9. The fit is great. They are extremely comfortable. I have to be careful getting decent shoes due to my plantar faciitis. Love the arch and the feel of the shoe, no breaking in! I ordered black and decided to also order navy as I wear jeans a lot. Very pleased!

Good fit. Glad to find a shoe in wide. Wish the heel were a little higher.

Odd feel to these shoes. They feel cheap. Spongy, poor arch support, and my feet have a lot of wiggle room instead of feeling secure. I ordered an 8 wide. I always wear an 8 wide in Merrell. The fabric feels unsubstantial. The upper padding feels super cheap. Overall, my impression is that this is a cheaply made shoe that will not last long. The Merrell boot I bought along with these does not have the same quality feel as the Merrell boots did in the past. Supply chain issues? Covid? I am tired of excuses. Make the same excellent shoe you have always made in the past, or I am out. I am currently looking at other, but pricier brands to try. I'd rather pay for quality than something that ruins my hike.

I've long been wearing Merrell's so knew I needed a new pair following total knee replacement. I can hardly wait to take long walk on paved surfaces.

These shoes are very comfortable and much improved over the previous model. They are actually a proper wide shoe that doesn't crush your foot or stack toes on top of each other so there are no blisters from day one. I work 12+ hours on my feet so good shoes are important. They do run slightly long but overall amazing fit, airflow, soles, and comfort. Wish these came in white leather for school.

We don't wear street shoes in the house. These Merrels are my house shoes because my feet still need good support. They are easy to slip in and out of. They are just as comfortable in the summer as in the winter. They are the second pair of Merrill house shoes and seemingly last about 10 years or so. They are perfect for the job

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.

Originally ordered 9.5 which was too big. Ordered the 9 and it’s perfect! So comfortable from the start. Have worn the Encore Breeze 4 for many years, it was time for new. Went with the Encore Breeze 5 and thrilled with them!
