love but not big enough.Iam a size 13 wide width
from Farmington Hills, MI on 11/12/2008
I love these shoes - I have them in 2 colors.
from Atlanta, GA on 11/10/2008
I bought these shoes as a versatile travel shoe. I love to be fashionable on vacation but still need a thoroughly comfortable shoe to walk around all day. These shoes fit the bill! They look great with shorts, pants, skirts, tights, just about everything. I only had to change shoes when we went out for a more fancy dinner and show. My only complaint is the heel slips a bit on my narrow heel so I had to wear band aids to prevent blisters but only IF I wore them barefoot.
I have an old pair of Merrell Primo Mocs that I love and needed to replace. These looked adorable so I ordered a pair in the same size as my mocs but they were too small. I exchanged them for a pair a 1/2 size larger and they are still too small. I'm trying a different style of Merrell Mocs and hope that they fit better. I'm really sad that these didn't fit because I thought they were really cute.
from Apopka, Florida on 11/1/2008
I wear these shoes both for casual and work and they would probably be good to travel in. They are very cute but I would not say that are the most comfortable things I ever wore right out of the box. I am still breaking them in but in the long run, I look for them to wear well and get more comfortable.

great shoe that looks great with a dress or jeans
from Roanoke, Va on 10/20/2008
This was a present for my wife. She loves them. She first saw them online and was worried about the fit. I knew that being Merrells, there was no worry.
from Boonton, NJ on 10/17/2008
This is a great looking shoe for night out. It is also a really comfortable shoe. You'll go all night in these baby's. Dress them up or dress them down, you can't go wrong. I am a huge Merrell Shoe fan, these are the most comfortable brand of shoe. They also wear very well. You'll have them for a long time. Its money well spent.
from Bronx, NY on 10/2/2008
My heels used to hurt all the time, and I've tried many different types of shoes looking for a pair that will relieve my heel pain, until a co-worker of mine showed me hers and told me how the shoes have made her heels feel better and how she will never trade her or wear anything else. This is all true, I know how the same shoes in three different colors and I don't wear anything else not even on the weekends. It goes well with everything, from dressy slacks for work, to jeans on the weekends.
from Columbia,MO on 9/28/2008
This shoe was amazing on my trip to England. I could wear it all day and it went with everything. Perfectly comfortable and cute.
from Portland, Oregon on 9/19/2008
I have problems with my feet and it is hard to find a comfortable, supportive shoe that has style to it. I am very pleased with these shoes and I am going to buy more Merrells in other styles because I am sure they will have the same comfortable fit and fantastic style.
from Stony Point, NY on 9/15/2008
I have a pair of Merrell Plaza Mary Janes (dk plum color) and adore them, so I thought I'd get the black in these instead of exactly the same style. Well...they're just as comfortable, just as stylish as the MJ's, but they made my foot look fat! I think it's just me, and this may not be the case for anyone else, but they weren't right for me. I sent them back and ordered the t-straps instead.
I am on my feet most of the day and would be in tears if not for these shoes. My feet are wide and hard to fit but these are great. My 3rd pair and would buy more in a heartbeat!
I bought these last year to wear on our honeymoon to Ireland as an alternative to the typical "American white tennis shoe". They were awesome! My feet stayed warm and dry and they were comfortable enough to walk all over. I also wear them quite a bit at work. I am a teacher and on my feet all day. They are supportive, comfortable and stylish enough to wear with slacks and skirts. I've gotten many compliments on them. I have a bunion and these are the only non-sneaker that doesn't bother it after a few hours.
from Rochester, MN on 7/25/2008
I wear them to work where I am on my feet all day and my feet thank me for them.
from Olympic Valley, CA on 7/7/2008
This shoe is great for dress up or dress down. I'll never travel without them.
from Boston, MA on 7/6/2008
I wear these shoes almost every day. They are so comfortable and stylish. I bought the plaza emme in wine, too.
from Portland, Oregon on 6/18/2008
Great shoe - I would recommend it!
from KCMO on 6/16/2008
I bought these shoes because they were rated very high by lots of other reviewers. I bought a 9 which is my regular size. The shoes came and I put them on. They felt a bit tight, but I figured they needed to stretch a bit--like most new shoes (at least the SAS shoes I usually buy). By the end of the day, they were still tight, so I sent them back and got a 9.5. They were better, but still not comfortable after a full day's wear. I went to our local dealer and tried on a 9.5 and a 10 and I realized that in these shoes, I will need a full size larger. Have not been able to wear the proper size yet--we're still in the exchange process. The shoes are beautiful and I can't wait to wear them. [...]
from Syracuse, NY on 6/9/2008
I really like that these shoes are stable and comfortable. Great for days when teetering on heals is out of the question. You can be on your feet all day.
from Tucson, AZ on 6/1/2008
Comfy and just a little bit dressy--works well for job interviews. Kind of funky, but I like funky--that means character to me.
from Jackson, Tn. on 5/8/2008
This is a wonderful shoes and feels great on your feet. I can wear this shoe all day long and never have a problem with my feet .
from New York on 5/7/2008
i ordered a first pair in my size, but it ended up being a size too big.
very nice looking, but the cherry oak of the two strips was exactly the same, which is what I expected according to the product photo. I returned them - very easy process- and ordered half a size smaller.
The new pair fit well, roomy but comfortable, but the color was different. The appliqued leather/ strap portion is a rosy brown color as opposed to the golden brown of the rest of the shoe. Looks cute and I kept them, but surprising that the two sizes were different colors. Took me a while to adjust, but I them needed quickly, so I kept them.
from Mankato,MN on 4/29/2008
Great with jeans and jackets.
from San Jose, CA on 4/24/2008
I had purchased these in brown from a department store, and I loved them so much I decided to get a pair in black, too. I stand and walk a lot in my job, and my feet never hurt at the end of the day. With other shoes, I've always been relieved to take them off at the end of the day, but these are actually more comfortable than being barefoot. Plus, they look great! I have worn the brown ones almost every day for 6 months and they still look nearly new and feel as comfortable as the first day. Other than the price being a bit high, I have yet to find any down side to them.
from Spartanburg, SC on 4/22/2008
I bought these shoes after seeing a friend where them and I noticed how cute they looked with her outfit at work. She said they were the most comfortable shoes she had ever had, so I bought a pair because I knew I would be going to New York the next week and they would be great walking shoes for the city! I have never been happier. They are a little pricey but I see them as an investment. I notice myself trying to find stuff in my closet to wear with the shoes, instead of vice versa! They feel like you are walking on a cloud, literally. I wear heels all week and these are the best relief. They do not rub, blister, etc. There is no "breaking them in." Just slip on and enjoy!

from Rocky Mount, NC on 4/17/2008
My first pair of merrills-very comfortable and good looking-no "breaking in" period required. I highly recommend them.
from Lubbock, TX on 3/28/2008
I am on my feet a lot, feels ok. Looks nice with slacks or jeans.
Could be better if were softer soles. I would buy another pair of the same brand especially if it was a softer sole.
from Petaluma, CA on 3/14/2008
Good shoes, bought them for my backpacking trip to Spain and they should be perfect.
-Not stiff and heavy like a lot of the comfort shoes like Bjorns and Doc Martens.
-Not too wide like all the Keen shoes I tried on. Very easy to slip on and off but my heels don't slip out of them when I walk like others shoes I've had.
-Definitely needed a 1/2 a size smaller.
-Has a bit of lift in the heel which is nice for wearing with long pants but do not feel like heels at all as it is so cushioned.
-Style was cute, would work well in a business environment. A little 'nurse shoe' looking but I'm being picky....
from sebastopol,ca on 3/4/2008
These are the most comfortable shoes I have bought for myself in many years and I can wear them with either a skirt or pants and myabve even shorts! I am so glad that I saw them on another woman and asked her the brand name so I could get a pair.
from Easton, CT on 3/4/2008
This model is so good I bought 3 pairs and simply cannot wear any other shoe other than sneakers.
These are the only shoes that you can even sleep with and don't feel any discomfort. Plus, I had so many compliments from co-workers that they look great.
from El Dorado Hills, CA on 3/3/2008
This shoe is very cute, but it did not fit well. I have a narrow foot and the shoe was uncomfortable across the strap. Merrell is known for comfort, so I was surprised. I did return the shoe.
from Nashville, Tn on 2/22/2008
These shoes are great. I bought them to wear to work in a business casual office. These are also cute with jeans. I have the Plaza Slide in brown and love them too! Can't go wrong with these shoes for comfort and style.
from Springfield Il on 2/18/2008
I have gotten so many compliments on these shoes (which never happens to me) and I love the price. [...]
from Hondo, TX on 2/17/2008
I can wear this shoe with slacks or jeans or even dresses. I also like its comfort.
from Florida on 2/15/2008
Comfortable. I can wear these even without socks. The best pair of shoes I have ever own.
This is my second pair of Merrell shoes. I have a pair of the Plaza glide style in brown and have been wearing them since Christmas and love them, so I ordered these in black. I wear them to work in a casual business office. These are great with jeans on the weekend and dress pants or khaki pants for work. I am diabetic and since my foot doc recommended "good quality" shoes I decided to try Merrells. So glad I did!
from Colorado on 2/13/2008
These shoes are super cute and comfy. Great traction (and cute too)
I reccommend these shoes.
from Pick a Post on 2/6/2008
The shoe is very comfortable EXCEPT for around the achilles tendon where the fit is tight. I've managed to stretch that portion out so that it doesn't put a strangle hold on my achilles, but each time I wear them I have to restretch it to get it just right. I have gotten a lot of comments on how cute the shoe is and I love the style and color. Just order a half size bigger and you'll give it 5 stars!
from Easton, Maryland on 2/1/2008
I bought these shoes for winter wear (a little larger than usual to allow for a stylish sock, worn with slacks.) I dress them up for dinner out, take long walks in them during the day. I'm an athletic type who also likes to be feminine. They're the perfect shoe for me.
from Berkeley, CA on 1/28/2008
It's great - I'm hoping it'll 'brake in' a bit more - putting them on is not as easy as I think it should be but maybe it's just a bit narrow for me? Otherwise, I'm happy with them - love this style and how comfortable it is - especially for walking or standing feet.
from Ithaca, NY on 1/26/2008
These shoes are out-of-the-box comfortable--incredibly so!! I put them on for work and actually ran down the sidewalk--they are as stable as my sneakers. I also love that they have a little heel to make them dressy enough to wear with nice pants and skirts.
from Mississippi on 1/26/2008
I am a teacher and am on my feet all day. These shoes are super comfortable and look great with casual pants or jeans. I love them!
from Auburn, Alabama on 1/18/2008
Love these... they are great when you have to stand around or walk long distances. I wore them to a concert and my feet or back never hurt! Its that Q-form thing they have in them! They are GREAT!!
from Russellville, AR on 1/11/2008
I purchased this for my daughter for Christmas. She is a Veterinarian and is on her feet for long periods of time. She has been very pleased with the comfort and style.
from Ithaca, NY on 1/7/2008
I refuse to wear uncomfortable shoes, so these are perfect for my workplace as they are very comfortable yet look more professional than some of my other very comfortable shoes.
from Merritt Island, FL on 1/6/2008
Living in Florida with a casual life style, it is so nice to find dress shoes which are comfortable the first time you put them on. I feel dressed for the event, no matter what the event. Idon't need winter shoes too often, so I wanted a pair which would meet an array of styles and events, and these shoes fit the demand.
from Salt Lake City, Ut on 1/6/2008
I have to wear black shoes to work. I chose these because they were cute and Merrell shoes are always comfortable and durable. I am on my feet a lot at work and needed dependable shoes.
from Worland, WY on 1/3/2008
Merrells Plaza Bandeau Mary Jane fits well and is very comfortable with the cushy insoles. Have received positive compliments from co-workers and friends. I am a Mary Jane lover and this style fits my personality and the look I want at work and play.
from Lexington, KY on 1/1/2008
These shoes were a Christmas gift. My daughter-in-law loves them.[...]/ I just couldn't be happier!
from Knoxville on 12/31/2007
This is a great shoe, extremely comfortable and supportive.
from Arkansas on 12/17/2007
Is comfortable like a flat shoe, but has enough of a heel to wear with all those pants that seem to be too long.
from NC on 12/17/2007
They are brand new so not much to say so far about wearability. So far so good.
from Cincinnati, OH on 12/17/2007
These shoes are cute casual shoes, and for the most part comfortable.
from Willingboro, NJ on 12/12/2007
If on feet all day, great alternative to comfort clogs. Looks good w/slacks or skirt. Students remark shoes make one look less like "an old lady".
from West Michigan on 12/11/2007
These shoes are very comfortable. The only problem is that cotton socks twist like mad in them. I've been wearing microfiber socks, but then the shoes feel a little big.
from carrollton,ms on 12/11/2007
I loved this shoe so much I have bought it in 3 different colors. One for myself, and 2 for gifts.
And I don't even know how to play basketball!
LOVE em love em love em! My current favorite shoes, and I own about 100 pairs. The combo of cuteness and comfort is outstanding. Actually, many people a day compliment me on how cute they are, and I wear them with skirts and dresses and opaque tights. They make me feel springy, not just comfortable. The grip is good, as I work on floors that can be very slick.
I find it odd that some people say they run small, as I usually wear a 9 but I wear an 8.5 in these.
