I love these shoes. They are so comfortable. They fit my medium size feet.
from Pound Ridge, NY on 10/16/2008
This is the perfect crossover shoe. It works well with casual dress and casual business attire. The amazing feature is that it feels like a sneaker with support. The internal structure of this shoe is so good that I was able to walk several miles in it perfect comfort. I bought this shoe because I was tired of having to choose between comfort and appearance. Can't describe how happy I am that Merrell designed this product and hope that they will do more along these lines.

It's been a long time since I have worn a dress shoe that easily accommodates orthotics and provides a sure step. After bilateral knee replacements I decided to try a dressy shoe again--this one fits the bill, style, comfort and balance.
from Piscatawy, NJ on 10/3/2008
very comfortable shoe and stylish, corrected my foor problem. would like more in different colors.
I am a Merrell shoe lover. Once you have worn Merrell shoes you are "hooked" by their comfort and fit.

This shoe is perfect for many occasions, from dressy to casual. I have used these shoes with pedal-pushers and T-shirt, as well as with a dressy slacks suit, and everything in between. I have worn them with hose and without. I'm delighted with this pair of shoes.
from New Hampshire on 8/27/2008
I have selected this shoe to wear with dresses for an upcoming vacation. It seems sturdy and supportive. The style is neutral, but since comfort, stability, support are my priorities this shoe is going with me.

I think these are just dressy enough that I can get away with wearing them to work. They are great for a long day of travel. Good, solid support for walking through airports. I like them so much, and came back & bought another pair.

I discovered Merrell several years ago and made their now discontinued Duet Notes "my" shoe. Also own their winter boots and slipons. Indestructable, stylish, keep the podiatrist at bay footwear. Now I go through about 6-8 pairs of Spire Flex a year. Only complaint about Merrell- need more trendy officewear choices
Complaint about Spire Flex: More colors! Light Green, Magenta, Pink, Blue, aw come on now!
from Charlotte, NC on 5/29/2008
My Merrells just arrived this afternoon and they are much more than I expected. Feels just like wearing a slipper - excellent for my walk to and from work (4 city blocks) and around the office. Could be worn with slacks or skirt, even jeans and crops - extremely versatile! I was nervous to order a size smaller (9.5) than I normally wear (10), but I am glad that I did - they fit like a glove. I strongly recommend these shoes!
from New Jersey on 5/10/2008
Great Shoes. They look just like pumps, and feel like a sneaker. (Where have I heard that before?). These shoes are so comfortable you will be amazed. I am on my feet alot for work, and these shoes are the best I have found.
I really like these shoes and luckily I read the reviews before ordering them and ordered a half size smaller. They fit perfect when I put them on. But, yes, the heel does slip somewhat but for some reason after I had worn them about a dozen times they conformed a bit better to my foot and I don't notice it as much. I get heel pain and was told to wear Merrell shoes. Haven't had any problems with my feet since and I'm on them a lot.
from Winter Springs, FL on 4/14/2008
This is the fourth pair of Merrell shoes I have purchased and this is the only pair I have had any problems with. The shoe rubs against my outer toes and create friction. They are also wide in the heel and flop up and down even though I have added inserts.
from Updtate NY on 3/11/2008
I bought these to wait tables I was looking for a better looking altrernative to the Dansko clog - these Merrell's are very comfy and I like the extra width, however, due to the suede detailing, they do show wear (scuffs, etc) VERY quickly. I wish these were all fabric or fabric/leather - they were starting to look beat up after only a week (continue to feel good though).
Spire Flex are the cutest dressy-casual shoes available. Let's face it.
When you gauge a person from a distance, you end up at their feet.
Nothing is worse than a dowdy shoe, no matter how stylish the outfit.
It surely makes one humble, not to mention limiting one's wardrobe.
And, the older we women become, the more problems our tired feet
have, being forced by style since the 1960's to squeeze into pointed-arrow shaped toebeds (by male designers:)
Merrell is the ONLY one to offer realistically designed female footware, and I'm so grateful:) My wish is that they continue and develop even more styles with the same comfort.
I'd love to wear a teeney heel again, to add that bit of elegance to a
pants suit or pretty dress. Another suggestion is to add more colors
such as brown to all of your styles.
I LOVE Oncore Groove Pros and Primo Breeze because they have
excellent cushioning and the right balance for problem feet. I've worn
orthotics for seven years and must spend most time in my Brooks Addiction sneakers (which fit my orthotics well). I wear my Merrells
around town, to church, etc. and love that I look stylish and am com-
fortable while out and about.
Thank you, Merrell.
from East Elmhurst, NY on 3/4/2008
I am a very big fan of Merrell's. I have at least 10 pairs if not more. Love them! This shoe I was very excited about receiving. I thought they would be so cute for work. The style looked very casual and comfy. They would work well with dress pants, capri's etc. Was very disappointed when I tried them on and they were slipping off my foot. If I had purchased the 1/2 size down, they would have been to tight. I even tried putting heal cushions on the back, but it did not work. Had to return them.
I was too timid to order a half size smaller orginally; [...] I love the shoes and really want them to work.
from Oakland on 1/26/2008
This is a great walking shoe, featuring Merrell's Q-Form footbed, and the style is a modern twist on the conservative ballet flat. This sporty shoe actually has a bit of heel, which looks great with either pants or skirts. I've done a lot of traveling abroad in tropical climates where ill-fitting shoes can really drag you down. But these shoes are IDEAL for travel! I've now worn out three pairs of this shoe in different colors, and I'll keep on buyin' em as long as they make 'em. I have to order Merrells a half-size smaller than my usual size, but otherwise they're great.
from Fairmont, WV on 12/18/2007
I got this shoe to be an alternative to painful hard leather dressy shoes. Its looks are a bit more casual than I had hoped, however the color is very saturated and they can look dressy with opaque tights. My only qualm about these shoes is that they run at least a half size too big. Unfortunately, I had already worn them outside before deciding that.
from Florida on 12/12/2007
I did have to return the first pair I got - they were way too wide - really flopped off my feet. I really wasn't sure going down a half size would help, but thought it was worth the try, as I really liked the look and feel of the shoe otherwise. I'm glad I did. Going 1/2 size smaller helps - although the heel is still a little wide and slips some (but that often happens to me anyway).
These Merrells are dressier, with a wedge type heel. This makes it comfortable for my heel-spurred feet!! I love the look - can even wear these with skirts!!
from Atlanta on 11/5/2007
Needed a shoe that was cute and comfortable that i could wear to stand in all day... works perfect. It is a little wide and little larger than expected, but with thicker socks there isn't a problem.
from New Cumberland, PA on 11/3/2007
I really like this shoe, it just seems a bit too narrow. I love it with jeans and a casual look and also with black pants and a more dressy loo.
from Fort Wayne, IN on 9/20/2007
This is a great shoe for work and play. Looks great with skirts, slacks and jeans. Very comfortable and great for the business casual workplace.
from Philadelphia, PA on 9/19/2007
This shoe is just right for those persons that cannot wear a high heel. It is comfortable and stylish enough to wear with dressy casual attire and can endure long walks and hard floors.
Because my right foot is smaller than my left, only the right foot feels a half size too big.
from new york, new york on 9/13/2007

from Seattle on 8/10/2007
This is a great, everyday shoe that can be worn with jean, casual pants, etc. It is one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes that I have ever owned. I love it. The only negative comment is that that is runs big.

from Flemington, NJ on 8/4/2007
I stand all day at my job, and it's a very comfortable shoe that is lightweight and breathable, and can be worn to work with just about any outfit. It also accomodates an orthodic arch. I will, and have recommended it to friends.

from CT/NYC on 8/2/2007
Excellent choice for looks and comfort. Clean lines look great in pants and skirts of any length. I needed a shoe that could hold up to a great deal of walking and look polished enough for meetings and events and this shoe fit the bill! I've owned three pair so far and hope that Merrell continues to make this terrific model.
from midwest on 8/2/2007
I love the style of these shoes and the q-form of Merrel's shoes make them very comfortable. I can walk in them all day long. I only wish they weren't so wide in the arch area and would hug my foot closer. ( I don't know if it's just the shape of my foot). Because of the width they sometimes slip off the back of my foot when I walk. When I'm standing the length of the shoe is perfect so I know it's not a length problem. When I roll through the width issue makes the back too loose.
from Redwood City on 7/30/2007
The size may be too large, or it may be the style of the shoe that makes it too loose without socks.
