Customer Reviews Merrell Embark Lace

I had only slip ons. These were my first tie merrells ever. I love them. The laces really make it different. Great for long walks. I like wearing invisible socks with them.

These shoes took zero time to break in. Ive had several foot surgeries and its hard to find comfortable shoes that also provide good support. Additionally, the fabric around the ankle helps to keep any debris or rocks from getting in the shoe when not on paved roads. Ill be purchasing another pair.

I so wanted to love this sneakerthey look so cute, unfortunately, the lack of support and hard insoles make these shoes very uncomfortable to wear. I immediately noticed hip and leg painbut didn't make the connection until I switched back to my old pair of Merrell Antora 3.

Comfortable and true to size. Breathable material.

I was looking for a white sneaker to take on vacation that I could wear with pants and dresses and thought this would be it. It looks good in person and fits well (I ordered in a 1/2 size smaller) but I could tell it would not be comfortable to walk long distances. It was pretty structured and the insole had no comfort at all.

These shoes are WONDERFUL. I work in a busy medical office and am sometimes on my feet all day and they have not hurt me at the end of a long day at all. I was wearing minimalist shoes for a few years and they started to hurt my feet so I was going from wearing shoes with no support to these and I had next to no issues. Maybe took a full day to get used to them. They are super comfortable and the perfect amount of support.Would buy another color if I could! Thank you Merrell!!

Comfy shoes and didnt even feel like I had anything on my feet (thats a good thing). Super light weight and my feet, legs and back were happy after wearing them. My only thing is I normally wear an 8 in normal shoes but always size up to an 8.5 on my athletic shoes bc feet expand and swell of course with exercise and such. So I went with an 8 on these bc it was recommendedwell I shouldve bought a 7.5. Other than that great shoe.

I love these shoes for walking, They a very light wieght, have the support I need with just a little bit of bounce. I like lthem with a lightweight liner sock. The slip on prevents any uneven pressure on the instep, while the laces allow for adjusting for just the right fit. I'm planning to buy a second pair.

Purchased to take on cruise to Alaska. Looking for something that was comfortable and would go with any outfit. Very comfortable. Love the band of where the shoe ties. Could wear all day long.

I've had these for about 3 months and I LOVE them! They're my everyday shoe. I don't think they're supposed to be true slip ons but they're very comfortable. Will buy again for sure!

Great lightweight shoe that's very comfortable. Nice sneaker!

Comfortable and lightweight. Easy to get on and off. Moderately supportive.

Very comfortable, well made as with all Merrell and sturdy construction

These shoes have a lot of cushion to them. I have a hard time finding shoes that I can stand and walk in for long periods without my feet killing me. However, I can walk all day in these without foot pain. They are lighter than I expected; an added bonus!

Really cute shoes, but they do not offer all day comfort and support. They are also hard to get on. You should include a shoehorn with purchase. I've been wearing Merrill's for years. This is the first pair that I wouldn't give 5 stars.

Love these sneakersso comfortable & lightweight. They are a bit difficult to put on as others have mentioned, but I figured it outloosen the laces & use a shoehorn.

I purchased Embark hoping it would become a comfy everyday around town shoe. Out of the box, it looks nice, would go with a lot of my clothes and I'm impressed with how lightweight it is. Trying them on was a bit of a challenge. The fabric is stretchy which is really comfortable like a gentle hug for your feet. However, pulling them on is more like a game of tug o' war. The arch is a nice height and supportive, but in a wide width shoe where the toe box is comfortably wide, why not make the arch width to scale with the rest of the shoe? It's very narrow and the edge of the arch is noticeable to stand in, painful in fact. I wanted to love this shoe, like I do my other Merrill's, but took off a star for arch width and one for the tug o' war game to put it on.

I bought these on sale in order to try the brand. They look good and are well made. However, they're not as comfortable as I thought they would be. Wore all day yestrday to an event that required a lot of walking and standing, and found there wasn't enough cushion for all day comfort.

Durable with comfort while being able to look nice goin anywhere.

They fit and look great. I only use for short walks and indoor exercise. The comfort and support are limited.

These shoes are perfect. Comfy, spacious, and cute
