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.

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.

Have this same shoe in black from 8 years ago. The sizing is different my old o es were a 71/2. Bought an 81//. Most problematic was that the shoes squeaked Returned them

I absolutely love the breeze and have them in every color. These are my go-to shoe for over 10 years now. I am happy the 5 has improved the material around the cuff and hoping won't peel over time like older versions. My only suggestion is please bring back a tan version! I may return the aluminum I bought as picture looked more tan than silver but will see how they fit with my spring clothes. Can't complain about the shoe and aluminum is silver. Just wishful thinking!

Excellent product! Comfortable, great fit and cute! I will be buying the other color, too! I ran around in these all day and had zero discomfort.

Very comfortable. I bought the wide so I could wear them with socks. I also have the medium width in navy for wearing barefoot. Docking them one star because the binding around the opening doesn't stretch and it presses on my high arch.

This is my third pair of Encore style Merrills. Quality has lessened each time, this third pair having the least sturdy heel back.

I purchased these because they caught my eye. And I was surprised to learn that when I received them, that these shoes were so light weight. I fell in love with them the first time I wore them. I have to give you five stars on the comfort the size and the width of my shoes. They were right on point. Plus I got a lot of compliments that my shoes look very very comfortable. And believe me I was comfortable the whole 12 hours being on my feet at work. I would definitely recommend these pair to anyone that wants to feel some relief after standing up for a long time.

I have bought these shoes for years, but the last pair I bought had the float and I don't find them as comfortable. They don't slide on as easily and feel tight as if I'm wearing a sneaker. I think I'm going to have to find a new go-to shoe for my every day. I was hoping they still had the old style, but I don't see it.

The fit was great and true to size. Started wearing around in house only ; feel great and good support. Need to get used to the feel of the low heel ledge as it rubs slightly and has a slip feel when you walk. Got the beige/,taupe Color and I'm not sure how it will hold up as I got a tiny snag in mesh and it looks like a spec or smudge mark. Early to tell as it's only been a few short weeks. The comfort and fit is fabulous for my arthritic toes.

I am a very satisfied customer with the quality and comfort of the Encore Breeze shoes. This is a second pair I've purchased because they fit my wide feet and feel roomy for daily wear. There is no breaking in since the shoes conform to the shape of my feet right out of the box. I have other styles of Merrill shoes and never regretted buying any of them.

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.

This is probably the 8th pair of Breeze shoes that I have bought! It is the one shoe that I know will fit me and will be comfortable. It's my favorite shoe.

These shoes are awesome and I buy a pair at least once a year just to make sure I always have at least one pair in good shape in case they decide to quit making them. I hope they never quit making them.
The first time I bought a pair I was on my way to Italy for 3 1/2 weeks without breaking them in I took them with me and wore them the entire time. They’re so comfortable.

Dont feel like quality of merrells Ive 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.
