Customer Reviews Merrell Jungle Moc

I have worn this style of Merrells for several years, but they changed the shape of the toebox, which made them hurt my toes. Still, they are so useful in New England winters, I tried a larger size. To fit my toes, I need a 9.5, but that makes the heel too large in a medium. Since the days of double or triple A heels are gone, I need to use a thick wool sock or try and keep a heel liner in place—not easy in a slip-on shoe. Nevertheless, these remain one of the most useful foot coverings for running around every day in the winter or even on rainy days. Good traction, easy to clean off, and not too clunky to wear with wool pants. Given the lrice of Munro and Ecco, these remain a bargain.

Very comfy and very spacious on me. (Size 11, low arches, medium and width.) Would probably fit perfectly with thick socks, but I returned them because I need something to wear sockless.

Have been wearing these for a lot of years, but may have to leave them behind. Recent re-stylings have been making them smaller and stiffer, and they have reached the point where they just no longer fit. I almost cannot get these on. The mesh slides also seem tighter than past iterations, although the lace-ups still seem fine. Go figure.

Color and quality of material was terrible. This is much more gray in color and a more furry of a suede than pictures suggest. Was hoping for a plain brown shoe that would go with everything and a sleek material that would be very durable. Why can’t Merrell just make some mens models in women’s sizes? They’ve over designed all the womens models. Disappointing that they think we can’t just want plain and practical design. Disappointment is with manufacturers not zappos. Had great service from Zappos so far.

I returned these shoes because they were too stiff to accommodate my bunions comfortably.

I love the original jungle moc- love the grip (even in ice and snow) and the arch support. Was excited to see new colors! What a bummer when these turned out to be narrower, with stiffer suede, and way tighter around the ankle. Oh well, I can only hope Merrill comes out with different colors using the original footbed and suede.....

Disappointed. This is my fifth pair of Jungle Mocs in over 20 years. I have always ordered the same size but this last pair was tight. I went up 1/2 a size but they still seemed to have a tightness that I've never felt before. Merrell's were my first choice in shoes because they fit my slightly wider foot and were comfortable. No longer. I noticed this tightness in another style Merrell's I bought but thought is was just the style. Merrell's are not longer my automatic go to shoes.

I have been wearing the Jungle Moc for over 10 years. I last purchased a pair two years ago from Zappos. My mocs are a size 8 and fit me perfectly (wide forefoot, narrow heel). I ordered an 8 and 8 1/2 last week. The size 8 is too small. The size 8 1/2 is the same length as my old size 8s, but a bit narrower in the toes. My pinky toe feels squashed as a result. I am going to try a wide, but I wish they would be consistent with the manufacturing. These are my favorite shoes for everyday walking outside, inside, standing, etc.

Not enough room for my little toes. My feet are narrow, especially my heel and my arch/mid-foot. Please make wider toe box but don't change heel!

Disappointed. These are a MEDIUM, and I can wear a medium in certain styles, but these were too narrow for me - surprised that Merrill doesn't provide a wide. If it does, please stock. (Love Zappos!!)

The MEN’s version of this exact same shoe has much thicker forefoot padding inside (better bottom front foot cushion). I purchased my husband’s pair at REI and wore them a few times outside. The thick foot bed was like a 4x4 out walking on the gravel & rocky areas of our 5 acre property. The men’s version had greater traction & comfort than many of my KEEN hiking boots. I didn’t want to keep poaching his shoes, so I ordered the women’s version, but out of the box I knew the front-bottom-inside-cushion-foot-bed was much thinner. We did a side-by-side comparison walking on hardwood and both determined the women’s version of this shoe was wimpy compared to the male version. Same shoe exterior, style, tread, but built with less material to protect the female foot, yet same price. Buying the men’s version of this shoe.

I am returning these Merrells. They are stiff and the tops around the foot near the ankle cut into my foot and would have made a blister if I had kept them on more than the 5 minutes I had them on. And in that 5 minutes I probably only took 25 steps. Raw leather and elastic. I had to order ½ size bigger than my normal size. I have worn Merrells since 2004. Probably have had more than 20 pairs of clogs, lace ups, and sandals. Merrell was my go-to brand and I could count on its fit and its quality. Not any more. This will be my last attempt to buy a Merrell shoe. Whoever bought the company has ruined their products. I think it's the company that owns the Keen brand. I've recently tried several styles, but every single one of them is a disaster and unwearable. Zappos, your service and processes continue to be impeccable and the best in the business! Would you please tell Merrell how bad their products have become and that they have lost a very loyal customer because they no longer have a decent shoe in their line?

I've been wearing Merrell Jungle Mocs for at least 10 years. This year they seemed to have changed their sizing considerably. They felt far too tight. I tried ordering a half-size up and then found the heel was too loose. I'll have to find another brand.

I am a long time fan of the Merrell Women's Jungle Moc and have several pair. What is happening with Merrell ? I have recently ordered a 7.5 and an 8, and they feel to be exactly the same size with NONE of the previous arch support. Even with Zappos super easy returns, this product degradation and inconsistency with Merrell's is tiresome. Just hope my older pairs hold out.

Unfortunately, these Merrells were tight, narrow and very small. I am currently in the process of exchanging them for a men’s size as I wear a women’s size 11, and they are basically the same shoe. I have bought several Merrell’s before and never had an issue with them. Not sure why these are super small. Zappos has been great in exchanging them.

These are death traps or bone breakers! I was excited to wear these in Hawaii because it's been wet and raining for 5 months. They are waterproof, but they are not slip resistant. First time I wore them, I slipped on my slate around the pool, and fell on the trex decking of stairs, going down to feed the animals. They are dangerous, because the bottoms look like they prevent slipping, but they do not. I almost broke my elbow. I wore them around the house for a day, to make sure they fit. But now that I tested them outside, probably can't return them. This is horrible. I'd be scared to death to wear them on anything wet or slippery. Death traps

I have purchased many pairs of these shoes over the past 22 years. They are great for winter use...warm, with sturdy rubber soles and a good casual look.

This is the third pair of this shoe that I've bought. I have loved them for their combination of comfort, support and sturdiness. The last pair I bought felt a little smaller (in length) than the previous pair, so I upsized by 1/2 size with this purchase. Problem solved. They are great for wearing around the house, general casual wear, and when they start to look raggedy (after several years) they get relegated to the garden where they are more comfortable and supportive than any of the gardening shoes I own.

I usually wear an 8W in shoes due to my bunions. I decided to size up to an 8.5W in these Merrells so I could wear thicker socks. They fit really well, but are a little loose in the heel. I think an 8W would have been too small. They are comfortable right out of the box and don't need any breaking in. I'm thankful that wide widths are available. These are my new go to shoes rather than sneakers. Note, if you need really wide shoes these won't be wide enough. I got the gunsmoke and just love the color. It goes with everything!

I am so excited about winter coming so I can wear my Jungle Mocs. They are so comfortable, great on snow and ice, and easy to slide on. I have two pairs.

My daughter has narrow heel and higher arches. She loves this Merrell Jungle Moc shoe. This is her third pair in 12 years, and they get heavy use in the cooler/colder weather. She might try on the weatherproof version that is approx. $50 more. Only suitable for under pants, though, style wise.

This is my third pair and I would buy again. I like the black because I had the tan color but couldn't keep them clean. The black looks newer linger.
