Merrell  Encore Breeze 5 Shoes - Women's

I bought these shoes before Christmas but had a surgery on January 7th so didn't try to wear them until I had recovered 3 months later. I had purchased my usual 8.5, but these shoes were too tight, even though it says they tend to run large. I am past the return window now and Merrill won't help me so I am stuck with these expensive shoes that I cannot wear.

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.

I was a long time wearer of this style for summer and the Jungle Moc for fall. I replace with a new pair when the sole wears out. The last pair I bought came apart between the mesh and the sole within days. It still felt comfortable, I tried crazy glue, but it did not hold. I wore it around the backyard etc. so it is not a total loss but it did seem less than secure and not presentable in public. I was hoping to buy again, but seeing the back is now high, I will look elsewhere. The elastic for my Jungle Moc has also changed as well (less suede, most stretch material) but I didn't mind that change.

Looks good. And comfy in the beginning. Unstated falling apart after a few months of wearing.

I love these shoes, have several pairs and wear a lot! I wear them to go to town, out on the farm and even when I was doing 12 mile day hikes in the Scottish hills—not mountains, mind you but in the hills they were perfect. Wash my farm shoes as needed and get lots of wear from them. Take them traveling too as great for going through the airport and on the plane. I have very high arches and add an insert; even then these shoes fit exceptionally well and the top where the seam is does not put too much pressure on my foot/upper arch. This is wonderful as many shoes are not high enough and really irritate this part of my foot. So glad I found these shoes; have worn them for many years and as I just purchased 2 more pair-fully intend to continue to do so!!!

I’ve been wearing Merrell Jungle Mocs for 15 years. I especially like them for walking my dog in the park. Two years ago, I discovered Merrell Encore Breeze 4 and love them. I bought two pairs — one for outside and one for inside. I wear my “inside” pair EVERY day, most of the day. I found that the wide width was extremely comfortable for the peripheral neuropathy in my feet. I wanted to buy another pair of Encore Breeze 4 for inside the house but could only get the newer Encore Breeze 5. Although I slightly prefer the Breeze 4 because it is a bit easier to slip on with its shorter back, the Breeze 5 is quite comfortable.

Got these and they're great they were a little snug when first putting them on but my feet fit in them well. I'm pregnant and my feet are starting to swell a little but I haven't had any issues getting these on. I did have to break them in a little so the first couple times I wore them my feet were a little sore but after a couple wears they're super comfortable. They're light weight and easily slip on I don't have to touch them with my hands to adjust anything. I've only had one slip off once because I caught it just right on a rock as I was trying to catch a kid. Otherwise they stay on snuggly. I have toe problems and these make my toe feel comfortable and secure.

I have been searching for a comfortable slipper that can be worn indoors or if necessary, outdoors too. I love being barefoot. After suffering through months of painful plantar fasciitis, I knew I could never go barefoot again on hard surface floors. My podiatrist recommended these as supportive, comfortable and soft insole, ventilated upper to keep my feet cool and comfortable, easy to put on and take off. I can these wear with or without socks. These are simply... perfect!

You can buy these on amazon for $57-$64.
