Customer Reviews Merrell Encore Ice 5

I really wanted these slip-ons - the color is so pretty BUT: Merrill has decided to glue the sock liner into all their shoes these days. Removing the liner results in a bump on the footbed where the glue is. Doesn't allow for comfortable insert of orthotics. I hope enough people complain so that they cease this abomination.

Have worn Merrell Encore Ice for years. But sizing is way off in the Encore Ice 5 - it now runs VERY LARGE! Was wearing a 7.5 in previous versions of this shoe, and that same size was unwearably large. Even the Size 7 is roomy! The inside tag of this pair says the lining is 100% sheepskin, which is what I wanted.

I have the Encore 4 and they fit perfectly, but Encore 5 is wider and longer, sadly.

Soft, supportive, perfect fit! And they are warm and cozy! These are in my top three shoes I have ever owned. Love love them! Most excellent ! Six or more stars if I could. Comfortable all day long, inside and outside. Usually I wear a 9 and the size 9 fit exactly. Molded to my feet in an hour or so. Will be buying another pair soon!

Ordered these in 6.5M which is my size in most all footwear. The Ice 5 fit true to width - my toes were free to wiggle and the small bunion on my right foot was not irritated because the round toe is pretty round and wide. The length was good, however the backs slip as I walk. I don't think going down a size would have helped as they are snug fit. I have a high arch with a high rise - so a size 6 might have been too tight. Style wise they are pretty clunky. I live in Massachusetts where it gets quite cold and dry in Jan thru March. I wanted a slip-on on that was warm, sturdy and with decent arch support for inside. I have never owned Merrill but do own Dansko Parson clogs and La Canadienne Toujours clogs. Ice 5 fit snugger than Parson and the backs slip with both. However Toujours fit me the best and with better arch support. Yet, I will keep the Ice5's because they are the warmest of what I own and meet my need for an indoor winter slipper.

These are suede but the picture looks more nubuck. They are very comfortable. I am a shoe and slipper collector. I bought the blue ones because they were on sale at the time and will match blue jeans. I would definitely recommend and repurchase. This is my 7th type of merrell shoe/slipper. Buy your true size.

LOVE this shoe. I have been wearing them for several years. I have replaced the black and gray several times. I now have them in four colors.

So disappointing! Tossed my old Merrell's slippers waiting for a replacement. Came today. Box says 9.5M but these are 10's. I have worn 9.5M Merrell's shoes, Mocs and trainers forever! Who decided this size? Going back for a 9? Will give it a try since Zappos has free returns otherwise I would cancel further Merrell's orders.

I was trying to replace an older pair of these same shoes which were the same size, but these feel too big. No arch support.

Although they fit, the support is very minimal. I doubt they will last one year wearing them around the house as slippers. Quality has diminished from what it used to be for this style.
