The Encore Breeze 5 is far inferior to the Encore Breeze 4

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

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 worn Merrell shoes for 30 years. Love this shoe, but I do order directly from Merrell most of the time.

I already own a pair of Merrell clogs. They fit well. These, in the same size ,are too roomy and I am walking out of them. Is there an older style that is similar that will fit as before?

Cheaply constructed compared to all my former Merrells.
My usual size 7 felt like a 6 1/2, and was too narrow, the insert removable "arch support" was almost flat and only made the shoe feel smaller.
I'd also recommend:
Bjorn, Easy Spirit, Birkenstock (all quality made)

I was so hopeful they would fit like the last (same size 7/style) Merrell Encore Breeze pair I have worn for 5 years.
These were tight (shorter) and narrow with NO arch support.
I will return them immediately. Looked the same outwardly, though.

Too small. I have been buying these shoes for many years and the last two pairs did not fit. I guess I will stop purchaing them.

I never wore them more than a half hour because the insert makes my feet sweat. I have never had a problem with that before especially with a shoe that has a mesh outside/ Merrell please change the material of your liner

Over the years, I have been trying to replace my Merrell clogs (Encore Breeze style). Each year I order a pair to see if they have gone back towards their original design and quality. Each year I have returned them. This year I ordered their Breeze 5 clogs. I do give Merrell points for making their clogs true to size and width. For slip-ons, however, they don’t “slip-on” like they used to. The lip opening is no longer leather which takes away from quality but also makes it more difficult to slide your foot inside. The back lip is also higher which also makes it more difficult to slip on. Generally speaking, the overall look is not to the standards Merrell once was. I will not be buying.

These left my joints hurting. I had worn similar Merrell's beforethey were my "go to" shoe. I wore them at home, work, to church; you name it, I was wearing these shoes. But the new pair I bought within the past month have left my knees and even my hip feeling sore. Sorry; it's probably just me.

I would never purchase this shoe again. Not comfortable and it feels like it's going to fall off as I walk. I'm really disappointed.

I did not take my Merrill's anywhere. I returned them because you changed the way this slip on style fits. I was looking forward to buy another of the same shoe that I presently own. A complete failure.

I'm so bummed Merrell changed the design on these previously great shoes. The heel is too high now, where you used to be able to just slip your foot in and go. Big bummer! I've probably bought 6-8 pairs of these over the years. My go to for the street, and for use in the garden. Rats!

These sandals are interesting. It takes time to fit in them, but they are so shallow my heels came off at every step. I can't even walk three steps without feeling inconvenience and discomfort. I returned them for an exchange to a different model. It was sad that they made me pay for the shipping because the new pair l I wanted to try was a different model.

I am so disappointed that Merrel has changed the last on their Encore Breeze shoes! I've been happily wearing older versions of this shoe for many years but will need to start shopping for a substitute - the new Encore Breeze does not fit me anywhere!
