Comfortable but I have to pull the right one on with a finger because the shoe arch is low for my high arch

I really struggled with this purchase. This is my 4th pair and I love the shoe! I rotate to "garden" shoes as they wear out (which is not quickly). When they are new, they are my "airport" shoe to provide comfort and a safe, enclosed toe. I ordered a 7.5 regular first and it seemed too tight. (I cannot read anything off the previous pairs as to what I ordered prior to this.) I returned and now have the 7.5 wide with more comfort but a very enlarged toe. I am keeping it as I want the shoe but it is a little 'clunky'. I still highly recommend...excellent product!

This is my fourth pair of these shoes, which I have in different colors - so yes, I like them. I wear them all the time, and wore them throughout my trip to Italy. So last year, when my toe broke through the mesh, I attributed it to a lot more walking than usual. However, my newest pair, which still look new, are already starting to show wear in the same place - very disappointed.

They look better in person than in the photo. I would prefer a nice leather rather than the texture of these. Unfortunately, options in wide are few. Arch support is minimal…review wants me to pick between moderate and none and neither describe it.

cheap synthetic materials. ok for some purposes. I found the bog clogs to be better for my purpose but also much higher quality.

The fit and size were fine. The top material, however, felt thin and less substantial than usual--I could see the bumps of my toes, something I've never experienced with Merrells before. I hope this isn't going to be true with all your clogs; these are the most comfortable shoes I've found and I would hate to be looking for other options.

I've purchased the Encore several times in the past with great satisfaction. Now this women's shoe has changed. The rim at the opening is not leather anymore and is loose, though the toe box fits. (The men's equivalent still looks like leather online). Im disappointed.

Don't feel like quality of merrells I've purchased in the past. Had ones with fur lining that loved and thought would replace for something more able to use in hotter conditions. This style is not same quality. Does not have a lot of support under arch or padding in the ball of foot.

I’ve worn the Breeze clogs for a decade and was looking forward to getting a new pair. Sadly, this restyle model, low in the back was a misfit. My feet kept slipping out and landing on the outside lip, which would have misshapen the shoe over time. Back they go!

I have a very old pair of these shoes and needed to replace them. Unfortunately, this newer version is vastly inferior. It has no arch support and the insole is thin. The fabric looks shinier and cheaper than on my old pair. Not up to the former Merrell standards at all.

It was too tight over my high arch even tho size 8M fit great in Merrill Encore Ice, even with the furry lining. I returned them instead of exchanging for an 8 1/2 which would have been too big everywhere else ?

I've been wearing MERRELLS for at least 35 years. They always fit perfectly, had great arch support and lasted forever. I was very disappointed. The size I'd used for years doesn't work anymore. The great arch is gone and the toe box is squishing my left toes. I'm sorry, the are not the same as the old MERRELLS.

These were not the Merrell Breeze I have bought many times. The back of the heel is no longer rigid. The cut is different.painful for a high instep. I won't buy by mail again.

I bought and returned the navy color Encore 5. Nothing like the Encore 4, different mesh, sizing and all around construction. Bring back the 4, why change something that was good. I have 2 old pair and won't buy again.

Was unable to slide my foot into this "Encore Breeze 5" new edition/style. Have previously purchased over the years 4 pairs of the "Encore Breeze 4" and I'm hoping to see a return of this particular shoe, as I was able to slip them on & off without bending over.

Most uncomfortable shoes EVER! After wearing these inside for a day to break them in, I wore outside, walking around a few hours. My feet were so sore. No cushion. Not much support. One of the worst pair of shoes I ever owned. I will NEVER but Merrells again. Need to request a refund. I want to give NO Stars.

Merrell encore breeze shoes have been my go to comfort shoes for many years. I've bought many pairs through different iterations and all have worked for me until Encore Breeze 5. The Wide shoe is narrower. I sized up, down, and even tried a men's size. Nothing was comfortable. These previously wonderful shoes no longer work for me. So disappointed.

I returned twice. The first return was due to size (your recommendation to order 1/2 size smaller was accurate). Second return; the Encore Breeze 5 cut into the top of my foot. I am a long time customer and a fan of your Encore Breeze collection, having worn 3 and 4 with no issues regarding fit for yrs. I do not recommend this shoe.

These shoes are nothing like the ones in the past. Cheap material, not the same arch support. Was extremely disappointed in the quality of shoe and returned them. Loved Merrills and wore them all the time. I have problem feet and the newer ones just don't feel the same.

My old Merrell's are so worn out, but I still wear them for gardening. The new ones are my besty's for comfort and style, daily wear.
I'd also recommend:
Brooks - for aerobics
