Fits very well, especially for widening feet and they are very comfortable for walking

This is the 10th pair of Merrells I have purchased over the years. Each fit on first wears and lasted seemingly forever! Colors go with everything.

What I love about this product is that the wide width allows me more walking (with or without socks) and without the foot cramping! I also love the supportive and very stable foot bed (important to older people like me -- 74)! In addition, it makes the In/Out of the house (shoes off/shoes on) problem very fast and easy! Perfect for travel, especially to Asia/Japan, where shoes must come off fast when you come in. My friends and family want these, but have experienced problems with getting them in wide widths. Now, problems solved! Thank you, Merrell!!!!

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 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.

Great shoes fit wide feet. Please make them again in navy blue.

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.

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.

I took a chance and ordered a size 8 even though I usually wear 8 1/2, but the reviews said these ran large - and it worked, even with the thicker fur lining. Sooo comfy. Took them out of the box and wore them all night, even to take the dog out.

Wore my mom's after she died for 7 yearsabout stretched out and worn by the heels but STILL wearable! Bought 2 new pairs and a lined pair in the past year.
Love Merrell! That, Ecco and Naots are about all I wear in my old age (70ish).
Just wish you had a store near Detroit! Doesn't make sense that Howell (couple of hrs away) is the closest.

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 are very comfortable, which is to be expected from Merrell, I've had other shoes from them. They can go with all of my slacks and jeans, I like that the wedge keeps my longer slacks off the ground! So far I have no complaint. I was impressed also that the first order was a little small, tried my usual size, and I had to exchange and the process was fast and easy. I had my new shoes within a week.

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.

I have purchased this shoe or a variation thereof over several years. I just received a new pair yesterday that was to have been the shoe of a 6 week European trip. It is being returned. This shoe has been changed and not for the better. The size 9 is shorter than the last pair. The toe box is wider. The back is higher and softer. The shoe is uncomfortable. I will not be ordering any more from Merrell as the consistency of a style is simply non-existent.

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 love Merrill shoes and have a few pair already but receiving this pair left foot was wider than the right foot. I am very disappointed. I called Service phone number several times alone with pictures to show the left shoe was wider which disconnected after ringing many times. I have dressy and everyday Merrill shoes and love them.

Ive 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 Id used for years doesnt work anymore. The great arch is gone and the toe box is squishing my left toes. Im sorry, the are not the same as the old MERRELLS.
