Kinda big and floppy, but cute and very comfortable. Buy the next size down.

I absolutely love these shoes! I odered the coffee ones and I was very surprised how comfortable it was! I walked about 8 km yesterday and I don't have any blisters, wow :) Plus, they're quite cute and they fit with pants, dresses or skirts. It's wonderful for the summer. First, the shoes may seem wide, but you quickly get used. Wear a second pair of socks if needed. They're as comfortable as slippers, I think I'm also gonna order the Saddle ones!
PS : Don't forget to order .5 larger than your usual size, or it's gonna be too big!
As suggested in the reviews, I ordered half size smaller (6.5 when I usually wear 7) and the lenght was ok. The shoes may seem a little wide first, but then it fits. They're very cute and stylish, I love it! I wouldn't walk 5 miles, but it is comfortable for school, bike and work.

I love Merrell shoes and for that reason I decided to treat myself to a pair of soft, easy casual shoes and went online to find them. I ordered Merrell's Paris Hemp because I fell in love with the look and color of the shoe. I was delighted that the order arrived on a Friday just before I left for the week-end for the shore. I wanted to bring them with me but left them home when I tried them on they seemed so big and heavy. When I returned Sunday night I tried them on again and to my disappointment decided I was right about the shoe not fitting and they were way too heavy for my foot (size 6). The return process was a breeze. [...] I have told several fellow workers about you and will do so until everyone tries you out! My best to your company, Anne.

I was so excited to order this shoe...it's so cute! I saw it in a store but they didn't have my size so I ordered it online. As recommended by other customers, I ordered a 1/2 size smaller (I usually wear 5.5, ordered a 5). I couldn't believe how big the shoes were - there was no way they'd fit. They were too long and way too wide, and there was absolutely no arch support. Since I stand all day at work, there was just no way they'd be comfortable on my feet. These shoes will be going back. I'll stick with my Danskos.

Very cute shoe for informal dresses, shorts, slacks. Very comfortable. Be careful to order 1/2 size down, this shoe runs big. They have a bit of a "rubbery" smell to them.
from Winston Salem, NC on 4/27/2008
I ordered my usual size and had to return for half size down.
from Triad Area, NC on 4/26/2008
These shoes are great if you have to work 12 hour shifts like I do, although they may feel a little wide it adds to the comfort factor. Since I work in a hot mill all day and my feet usually burn up in athletic shoes I don't have that problem with these mary janes. They look great with jeans, capris and shorts.

Better than expected

I usually wear a size 9.5 in Merrell. That's what I ordered the 1st time around, however they were way too big. Then I exchanged/re-ordered them in a 9...still too big. Even with socks my heel slips right out the back of the shoe and they are really wide. My guess is that since they are made of canvas/hemp and not leather that's what makes them loose and big.
If you have a very wide foot, these would probably work for you, but I'd recommend ordering at least a 1/2 size smaller and be prepared to reorder again 1/2 size smaller if those don't work.
Really cute shoes, but a big let-down for me. I really wanted to wear these this spring and I love Merrells!
I wear a 9.5 in Merrell and that's what I ordered, however I needed a 9. I planned to wear them with socks and occasionally barefoot, but they were way too big for barefeet and even a bit big with socks. So I'm exchanging them for a 9 and all should be well.
They extremely cute. They are a shade more greener than in the pic, but they're still neat!
It's nice to find a Merrell shoe that's fashionable as well as comfortable - instead of looking so staid. I hope they plan more "cute" shoes for the future.
I get lots of compliments on this shoe and it is really easy to take off going through airport security. It is a fun shoe and comfortable.
from Nederland, TX on 2/8/2008
I bought these shoes for the comfort of the brand, but truly loved the look they had, we get a lot of rain so the thicker rubber sole was a plus. and the stitching and the button accent lended itself to a trendy style. They look great with jeans, and I'm looking forward to wearing them with capris in the spring.
from Springdale, AR on 1/20/2008
Bought these for my wife, she also has them in the black leather. but loved this new color and material. Says comfortable and stylish. Goes with about everything!
from Mississippi on 1/15/2008
I hate this shoe! It's cute but not true to size! Too wide, it hardly touches my foot. The biggest waste of money I ever spent.
The strap on top isn't tight enough to stabilize the shoe.
from Ashburn, GA on 1/10/2008
I'm a mom of a very active 3 yr old and these shoes are perfect for keeping up with her! They are cute and I recieved a ton of compliments my first day of wearing them! They are really cute with jeans. They feel so good on my feet!!!! I love them!

I could wear these every day and all day long. These shoes are cute and very comfortable.
from Prather, CA on 12/7/2007
great with jeans
from Boston, MA on 12/1/2007
I think these are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I was first attracted to their stylishness and knew I had to have them. But when I tried on a size 10 in a store, it was tight. [...] carried 10 1/2 and they fit perfectly. I have bunions and walk a lot -- these fit the bill.
from Decatur, Al. on 11/21/2007
I love this shoe. It does run large both length and width. I exchanged my regular size for 1/2 size smaller and am very happy with the fit. I do have a wide foot so this would not be a good shoe for a narrow foot.
from Mississippi on 10/29/2007
Good to find a 10.5 even though this one feels a little wide. Will accomodate winter wool socks.
from Atlanta, GA on 10/22/2007
These are a wonderful alternative to sneakers or sandals for weekends or casual days. They seem to be sized for wearing with socks (which is what I always do). Cuter in real life than in the picture.
I'm small, slim but have EEEE hereditary feet with bunions. I've trained myself to spot wide widths. This shoe says Medium but is wonderfully wide. I can wear my skirts now.........Shout the width loud and clear for all! Firt time in 55 years I've had a cute, well fitted shoe.
from Columbus, Oh on 9/18/2007
Love the shoes. They rubbed the back of my ankle to a pulp -- but this is routine for me after a summer wearing sandals and clogs.
