I love these shoes. I have ordered them in brown and black about 3 times a year to work in.

Shoe is not well made and fits poorly (a larger fit than Nova 4 style)

This is my fourth pair of Encores, and I wore the new ones on an Alaskan cruise. They felt wonderful throughout the trip!

I have bought several pairs of Merrell clogs and cannot wear them out. I have given up wearing any other brand because I never find the comfort of a Merrell shoe. You have spoiled me!! I, at times, have to wear a dressier shoe, however, Merrell is always in my car to slip on after an event. Thanks, Merrell. for your good work....never change!!!!!!!

I'm on my 3rd or 4th pair. I even have the boots. These are the only shoes I can wear ALL the time, and not have my feet or back hurt. I'm on my feet a LOT, both in and out of work, and these work SO well for me. The fleece lined ones were warmer than the actual boots, though. I've hiked in them all, and they are actually great in the woods, too.

I wear these everywhere! Needed a wide slip on for dog walking and going just about anywhere. These fit the bill perfectly!

These are comfortable and have incredible arch support for a lightweight, yet sturdy, shoe. I love them!

These shoes are so comfortable. They are the first leather Merrills I have bought. I have 5 pair of the mesh ones.

These are the only shoes I can wear anymore. Wide width allows for generous toe box, which, along with felt insets, keeps me free of neuroma & bunion pain. Look nicer than athletic shoes which I wear the rest of the time. Love how they slip on and off. I have them in brown and blackmight also buy a tan pair if they were available in wide width.

This is a nice shoe, rather plain in style. There is some arch support, but I thought it wasn't as much as Merrell products usually have. They were also a little too wide for my narrow feet.

I'm worth them around the house for a while but they started hurting my feet because they were too narrow. I have a pair of these that I bought a long time ago that weren't as narrow.

Not for skinny feet. These are good shoes and good-looking but I tried two sizes and they are just too big in the heel and arch. I have low-volume feet and I wear orthotics but even with my orthotics in them, these shoes are too big.

I love Merrell mocs but this one seems to be just a little smaller than my old ones in terms of the instep. I had to return them because the instep was too tight. Sad.

Merrell clogs and hiking boots have been my staples for at least 15 years. I loved the clogs but they wore out eventually and I'm replacing them. I still have the brown suede so I have side by side comparison and these new black ones I got are wider even though the brown ones are very worn in. I have somewhat wide feet that are too narrow for a wide size, so Merrell has been perfect fit for me, however the medium width now is really wide and my foot slides around in the clogs. Disappointing. I don't think I will do better with other brands especially since I have a high arch and other clogs don't have Merrell's support, which is perfect for me. So I will keep but I miss the old pair that lasted almost forever. The leather quality is really great as well as the footbed. The traction is awesome for clogs.

I haven';t had a chance to wear them yet but they feel as comfortable as the older suede pair I had before.

I find the Encore Nova 5 VERY comfortable - after I made a few modifications for my personal habitus - I have a very slim foot. I found I had to remove the insole and replace with Aetrex because there was just too much room in the shoe. It caused my foot to slide around in it and flop up ad down when walking. After that modification, it has fit like a dream - so much so that I can actually wear them as house slippers!

Shoe was one size too large. Otherwise, it is a beautiful shoe with nice, not too shiny leather, and trim that says, "winter."
I'd also recommend:
Merrell's slip-ons, some slip-on Skechers

This is a really nice casual shoe that would pair well with jeans, skirts, etc. Unfortunately, it's quite wide for a medium and there isn't much arch support. I don't think it would be supportive for all day wear. Very disappointing.

I typically take an 8.5. My foot is a bit wide but I often take a normal width shoe. In my experience, Merrell has run narrow, so I ordered a wide. The shoes ended up being way too wide, slightly too long, and with little to no arch or sole support. Shoes were returned.

I used to love the Merrill soft soled clogs but I do not like this new design that has a little height at the heel, like a heel grip. The previous style had a leather collar instead of the current cloth style and was completely open at the back allowing for easy in-and-out while this gets stuck on my socks. The sole is still nice and comfy as you'd expect with Merrill, but I am returning these.
