Wonderful Sandal -
This is a great sandal if you are looking for a casual, comfortable, and affordable shoe. Of course it is not waterproof, but for just everyday it’s awesome, I wear it to school. It definitely gets hot around her, and this shoe keeps my feet cool.

I spend a lot of time on my feet and occasionally suffer from plantar fasciitis, so it's imperative that I wear comfortable, supportive shoes whenever possible. I wore these sandals almost every day last summer. They were great until the end of the season -- I just wore the padding down. When I broke them out this spring my feet were killing me after one day of full wear. Bummer! I like the look of the straps (the footbed, not so much but at least they're not as chunky as Tevas or Chacos). I'm now on a search for replacements, preferably a pair that will last me more than one summer!

I am very picky when it comes to sandals because my feet blister very easily and the straps on these are very comfortable! I did find they run large so I purchased a full size down. Also when you wear them for the first time the rubber on the foot-bed rubs off and may discolor your foot a bit (if you get the black or other dark color), but that only happens in the first wear or two. Overall, I am very satisfied!

Very light and comfortable, medium arch support, front is wide and roomy, they are true to size. Needs pretty looking feet. The ruby I choose is more brown than I expected. Very thin bendable sole which is okay for my use. I would have liked a little more arch support.

I ordered the San Remos in brown, the screen shot online appeared as a more taupe (neutral grayish brown) than warm brown, but the color was a warm brown. They are beautiful inside and out and from the first minute have been extremely comfortable. The arch support is very adequate and for a flat sandal, they provide a stable walking sole. On the girly side of this review, they look stunning, far better than the other sandals I own and see on people far more fashion forward than I.

I purchased the Merrell San Remo for a vacation, looking for a sandal that I could wear to the beach, theme parks, and out in the evening, as I wanted to be able to pack as little as possible. I ordered the sandals at 5 pm, and they were waiting for me the next day when I got home from work. Based on the reviews, I ordered a size smaller (6) than my usual size (7). The straps on the 6s fit perfectly, but the footbed was a bit short, as my toes came just to the very end. I called Zappos.com at 6 pm, and they immediately shipped out a pair of 7s for me, which again arrived the next day before I got home from work. The footbed was perfect, and I was able to adjust most of the straps to fit well, but the straps around the toes were a bit loose. My feet are average width, so I think these must run a bit wide. I kept the 7s, as my flight left the next day, and I got used to the way they fit. Now they are the most comfortable sandals I own. From the first day I got them, I've been able to wear them for 12+ hours with no blisters or uncomfortable rubbing. They look equally cute with a swimsuit, jeans, or even a miniskirt and a dressy tank top. Between the quality and style of these shoes and the excellent customer service of the Zappos team, I'm very satisfied with my purchase. Way to go, Zappos!!

I wear a small 11 and I ordered a 10 in these shoes. They fit, but barely. The foot bed is soft and comfortable, and I can wear these sandals with a dress or with something more casual. I wish they had a slightly higher arch (but my arches are insanely high). Overall, I'm very happy with these sandals because they are a happy medium between Chacos and something a little dressier. Very versatile.

It’s a pretty nice looking sandal. I ordered the 8 after others said it ran a little large. It was the perfect size for me. It is not quite as comfortable as my other Merrells, it is a much firmer feel, but still comfortable.

Good casual sandal -
This sport sandal works well for kicking around, but does not have the support I need for more vigorous activities. The arch is good, but the sole is not as sturdy as Chaco or Keen. However, because it is not so chunky, it can be worn with dressier pants and shorts when you need to be on your feet, but not so obviously wearing an athletic shoe. The straps are very comfortable also, no binding or cutting in and the shoe seems to be very well constructed.

These sandals have incredibly comfortable soles. I was amazed by just how great they felt to stand in. Unfortunately the straps rub against insides of my ankles due to the way the straps are constructed. The leather in that section is very rough because the strap ends in that spot and is doubled over and glued to itself. I know that if I walked very far in them I would develop blisters below my ankles. I'm not returning them though because they are really cute and the soles are exceptionally comfortable. Since it is only one small section of one strap on each sandal, I am going line those spots using tan colored felt material and fabric adhesive.

Cute, comfortable, some support. Good for walking around but not too far. My dad said they look "Biblical".

Feels like walking barefoot - almost -
Love the shoe. I usually wear a 9; the 8 fits perfectly in length. My only problem is that the straps are slightly tight and I'm too vain to loosen them because I don't want the velcro to show. They are slowly stretching out and improving. (I think my foot runs slightly wide and my instep is high, which is probably the reason the straps feel tight on me.) In general, I LOVE the shoe.

Very pleased -
I am very happy with these sandals. They are lightweight and comfy. Not enough arch support for my super-flat feet, but better than anything else I've tried! Also, my feet are very narrow, so I can't adjust the straps as tight as I want to. Overall a great sandal, cute and comfortable. Looks great with skirts and shorts.

Not quite as comfortable as I would really like.
They kind of pinch my little toes a little, just the rubbing of the straps.

Merrells San Remo -
These shoes are much cuter in person than shown on the website. I like the cushioning in the footbed and the arch support. They are very comfortable; however, the straps rub my toes a little- no blisters. They just need a little breaking in. Also, they run a little big-order a half-size smaller.

Merrell San Remo -
Really cute and the foot bed fit just the same and was just as comfy as my other Merrell sandals, but I couldn't adjust the straps enough and the toe straps were not comfortable for me and cut into my toes. This is a typical problem for me with strappy sandals, so others might not have this problem.

It's a nice shoe, looks good with anything... pants, skirt, shorts, etc. I didn't find it to be as adjustable for comfort as others said. Doesn't give much support, but then again... there is not much to it.

Cute and pretty comfy shoe -
This sandal is great for everyday--I've even been wearing them every day since I got them, with skirts, shorts, pants...I've gotten tons of compliments, and I like how adjustable the straps are. But I was surprised at first by the very firm arch--it hurt my foot for a few days, and I wondered if I'd be able to wear the shoe. It seems that my feet are used to it now, and overall these are the most comfortable sandals I've owned.

Great alternative to all those sporty sandals!
I walked all over on my Mexico vacation in these and they were great. They rubbed in one place on my toe the first day, but great after that. And really, I can't blame the shoe - I only got them a week before my trip! Also, I wish the velcro was a little more secure, but that's the price you pay for a comfy shoe that looks cute and strappy!

Great except for no half-sizes -
I love Merrell and these sandals are quite comfortable -- except that they would fit much better if they came in half-sizes. Unlike the clog-style Merrell’s, going up to size 10 for my narrow size 9 1/2 feet, doesn't work all that well. But I would recommend them highly to those lucky people with whole-size feet.

A nice comfort sandal -
Comfort makes this a good choice for a casual shoe. Because I am hard to fit, I bought this in two colors, neutral and black. I had to exchange for a full size smaller than usual, which helped the medium width fit my narrow foot (I wish more shoes came in half sizes and narrow widths!). Zappos exchange process was easy and employees were very helpful with my exchange.

Very nice, light weight sandals. The footbed was a good fit and comfortable. But too much room in the forefoot (where cannot adjust straps) for my narrowish feet. Sandals were too loose to walk in comfortably. Unfortunately had to return. Women whose feet are a little wider may fare better with these.

Well, these are cute sandals but not intended for ladies with problem feet. The strap adjustment is very minimal so my thin ankels had no support and they only have moderate arch support - a bit more than average. I was disappointed as these sandlas could have been much better with slight changes in the strap construction.

My feet are small and narrow in the instep and ankle, but wide in front because of bunions. The sole is the perfect size, but the straps are too long and loose. The straps looks as though they are completely adjustable, but for the velcro, the length of the straps can't be changed much without taking them apart and reassembling them (which I considered doing). I wish they fit because I like them.

Cute but not for hiking -
These sandals look great and feel good for around the house; not enough support at the ball of foot for walking a mile around the neighborhood or hiking. After a week the left one started to squeak. I wouldn't buy a second pair. I wear 7 1/2 and the 7 fits fine.
