Merrell Women's Encore Breeze 2 Fashion Sneaker

I keep trying to will my feet and Merrell to be eternally happy together. I pretty much gave up 15+ years ago.I lusted after Jungle Mocs. I have a narrow heel and had problems w/ Merrell heel. Also my ~ high arch, normal width toe box is not simpatico w/ Merrell. I hit the Merrell jackpot once with one heavenly pair of "Polar Moc": beautiful pr of light silvery grey nubuck with 200g insulation and neoprene collar . I can no longer read the size. The foot bed fit perfectly. I had never seen them before nor since.I think either you have a Merrell foot or not.I usually wear a 9 or 9.5M.I ordered 9 based on the reviews. They are too long, sl narrow. Is it because of where my foot sits- my toes are not seated forward into the the toebox or is it the footbed of this shoe? I won't know til I find the correct size.I hoped when I read that the Breeze (1) gals don't like Breeze 2 fit; new Breeze 3 fits differently from Breeze 1 and 2 that maybe I could slip into one of the three versions.I may try a Breeze 3. I will try this in an 8.5W but only one color left. I am not sure if they will be re-stocked.I want these to work. I don't want leather right now. I like the fact that they are washable. The mesh doesn't affect me one way or another; it can be a PIA to clean mud/clay out of the little holes (toothbrush??). They are really light weight so I expect them to be much easier to travel/pack car/plane. The toe is more rounded than I like; they are not as troll toed as some clogs but they are more rounded than my Dansko Prof Clog (Sz39). In my case, I think it's best to go to a brick&mortar and try these on for size to get the fit right then online shop. Nice to take advantage of the sale price and color availabilty on Breeze 2 now that Breeze 3 has come out.

I purchased a pair of Merrell Breeze shoes 2 years ago (2011) & wear them almost every day. They're still in great shape & look like new. I decided to purchase 2 more pair in case they're discontinued.These shoes are lightweight, comfortable, have arch support, great cushioning, and a roomy toe box.They're comfortable with or without socks.The C/D width runs wider than average. Because of a foot problem, I usually buy EE width, but these C/D are wide enough for me. I also have arthritic bumps on the top of my feet which can cause problems with shoes that fit higher on the foot. Although the Merrell Encore Breeze 2 fits snugly across the top of my feet, they're comfortable & not too tight for me.They're treated with Aegis Microbe Shield which controls odor, staining & deterioration caused by bacteria, fungus & other microorganisms. I usually have to wear leather shoes, and thought the Merrell Breeze 2 would be hot, but they're not. The shoe is made of a mesh fabric that allows air in, yet isn't cold in the winter.I purchased this shoe in both black & deep tan (the only colors available in the C/D width). I wasn't sure if deep tan would look nice. I can't say that I love the color, but it goes okay with both my brown jeans & my ivory jeans.If you're on your feet a lot, you might like the comfort that Merrell Encore Breeze 2 provides.

I wore these to work for years and they were all I ever wanted to wear, even on the weekends. They are great for being on your feet all day.

Normally I don't buy shoes over internet as fit for women can be inconsistent. I already own this shoe style in another color, so I took the chance. Fit was perfect. Shoes are snug but not too tight with a pair of socks.These shoes are perfect for air travel - it is easy to get out of and back into these shoes during the security process at airport as well as during the flight. (Always leave shoes on during take-off and landing)Above and beyond their original purchase, I wear one pair or the other a lot when shopping. They are comfortable and give wonderful padding to the soles my feet supplying the cushioning I require walking. They are also lightweight - my feet are not tired at the end of a long day running errands and shopping.So far, neither pair is showing age. I am not sure how they will look once they need cleaning. I gave only 4 stars because the price may seems a little high and I have not owned long enough to say how long they will last. If I get the hoped for life on these shoes, they will be worth 5 stars.

I found these shoes a few years ago in a local dept. store and I am so happy that I did. I work as a hospital nurse and can spend 12-13 hours a day on my feet caring for pts. My feet would start aching about mid morning and get worse as the day went on. I tried different brands, different styles, different prices and none were comfortable until.......the Encore Breeze 2. I can go all day with absolutely no foot pain at all. Since I wear them for so many hours a day, I tend to replace them with a new pair every year or so, but the shoe still looks great and I wear them when I am out and about. I do have a black pair as well to wear with black jeans/pants. I would recommend this shoe to anyone. Amazon had a great deal for cyber Monday so I jumped on line and ordered them. I love how quickly Amazon delivers my orders and have always gotten great products from them as well as great customer service. Encore Breeze 2 + Amazon = a win/win situation!

In March, 2013, I ordered my first pair of Encore Breeze 2 - in black to match the color pants I most often wear, These shoes are definite favorites! So much so that I recently ordered an identical second pair - even though my first (frequently worn) pair still looks great - just so I have a pair in reserve in case Merrell ever stops making the Encore Breeze 2. So what do I like so much about them? I have a slightly wide size 8.5 foot, rather flat feet, and lower back problems. With these issues, it can be difficult for me to find comfortable shoes. The Encore Breeze 2 fit me perfectly in medium width, support my arches well, and are comfortable to wear for extended periods. They keep my feet warm in cool weather, worn with light socks, and cool in warm weather worn without socks. As a delightful bonus, they somehow manage to make my foot look smaller and narrower ... rare for shoes of this type. I highly recommend these shoes, especially If your shoe "issues" are anything like mine.

I have been wearing Merrell shoes for about 5 years now, and have found them to be the most comfortable in the world. However, I have to say that they quality of the shoes I am wearing now, compared to those I bought five years ago, is far worse. The first pair I remember, which was a pair of black Jungle slides, were wonderful. I wore them and wore them until I wore the tank treads completely off the soles. Since then, the quality of the shoes has become less good and less comfortable, and Merrell has practically given up making slides at all. I don't know what I will wear for comfort when all the slides are gone. Also, I must say that Merrell is a very difficult company to deal with, they are not a bit interested in your problems getting their products, or problems with the products, or in fact anything at all.I understand that that it is a big company with millions of customers in many countries, but I must say that as a UK wearer, I feel completely ignored.I have no problems at all with Amazon, which does what it says.

Second pair of Merrell's I have owned. Last pair lasted me ages and were very comfortable. Been looking everywhere for a replacement. In fact so impressed i have now ordered another pair.

Good shoe,and very prompt delivery!iwould use this supplier again! We have had this product before and the quality of the shoe is brilliant ,that last pair lasted over 5 years

First bought these super mules in USA and could not believe the comfort after years of shoe misery! Am a total devotee for Merrell shoes!
