These are very comfortable, and every time I wear them I get compliments. I don't like heels (at all!), but the slight heel on these is fine. I have Merrell Spire stretch shoes in 7.5, but that size was too big in this style--7 fit much better.

Outside of the fact that I feel like it looks like I'm wearing institutional shoes, these are as comfortable as any Merrell I have.
They run large so that I have to insert Dr. Scholl's Air Foam Insoles to keep them on my feet when I'm not wearing heavy socks. I like them best with jeans but would like to try them with tights and skirts next winter because I think it would be a cute look.

I bought these because I had been having trouble with my foot and have several other pairs of Merrells. With the encouragement of a friend, who already has this particular shoe, I bought them. They are very light and extremely comfortable to wear. I had no trouble wearing these, even with the slight heel - something that would normally give me trouble. I could even dance in them without a problem!

First time I've purchased Merrell's. They run a bit large, but nothing a pair of those heal pads from the drug store couldn't fix. Comfortable doesn't even begin to describe these. I could wear them all day every day and my feet wouldn't hurt. There were no break-in issues. I will be buying Merrell's again and I will be shopping with onlineshoes.com. Great experience.

I think this shoe is excellent. The only change I made was to get another insole, based on the recommendation of my chiropractor. He wanted a stronger insole, so I bought one at a sporting goods store.

My feet never get sore or tired. Walking in these shoes is like walking on a cloud.

Disappointing...

Pros:

Cons:
Causes Hotspots or Blisters, Uncomfortable
Best Uses:
Casual Wear
Describe Yourself:
Casual classic
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Blisters + arch support not high enough. Removed orig insole, replaced w/orthodics plus flat insole pad. The cutout between the strap and toe then cut into my foot. Stitching under buckle on strap and back of heel rubbed, caused blisters. Suede Jungle Mocs by Merrill fit perfectly; cuter style of Spire Emme = less comfort.

I adore Merrells but these were not my favorites. I think they would do well with someone with a little wider foot. Rememeber--they're a good 1/2 to full size larger than normal.

I love this shoe. It fit perfectly from day 1. I always get lots of compliments on this shoe. I can wear it for a shopping marathon, and my feet never get tired. Merrell shoes are the best, and the Q-form technology for women is unbelievable. I have had this style for 8 months, and they still are great.

I normally wear a size 11 and had to exchange for a 10.5. That size was too big and had to exchange it for a 10. I needed a pair of shoes to wear with casual, but still dressy skirts while walking and standing all day. I can even ride a bike with them. When you walk the heel slips up and down a little-but I think its supposed to do that.

I was looking for something versatile yet very comfortable to wear to work with dress pants and more casual skirts. This shoe is what I was looking for. I wish I could wear it with everything! I plan to buy a lot more Merrells that are workplace appropriate. A note on the size: I am precisely a size 10--I never wear even a half size larger or smaller. These shoes, however, are a bit loose. There is a significant amount of space between my heel and the back of the shoe. If you tend to vary between sizes, I would definitely go with the smaller size.

These were the very first pair of shoes I had ever bought online, and now I keep coming back! They are comfortable, durable, and so versatile. I can wear them with jeans, skirts, or whatever. I would recommend getting a half size smaller than you usually wear, since they seem to run a bit big, though.
