Most Helpful Critical Review
I am a loyal Merrell buyer/wearer. I have had these shoes for about 1 1/2 years. The shoe backs have been collapsing for quite some time now, making it difficult to get them on. I was concerned about this when I bought them & even asked the shoe salesman for a shoe horn at the time. I used the shoe horn a lot when I put them on because the backs just never felt "stiff" enough to hold up & I was right. But all my other Merrells were great so I went ahead & bought them. I'm not terribly hard on shoes & I have never had this problem with any other shoe so I feel it's the shoe design.
Thank you for your review. We will be contacting you shortly to take care of this matter.

everyday use
I recently purchased these shoes after foot surgery, and these are the only shoes that make my feet feel great! As soon as I put them on, the arch support was just as good/better than my expensive orthotic! Can't wait for them to be back in stock in Black Size 11!!! Thanks so much for helping my poor feet feel better!
We are so happy you have found a shoe that feels great for your feet after surgery! Good luck with recovery and thank you so much for the review.

for work
My most favorite (and worn) shoes were an earlier incarnation of the Eclipse. While not as easy to quickly slip on (you have to bend down and use your shoehorn or finger to slip in your heel), they are nonetheless comfortable. They are wide enough for happy toes, and have good support for a long day on your feet.
We love hearing about new and old styles. We are so glad your earlier Eclipse version are comfortable and wide enough for your toes when being in them all day. Thank you for sharing your feedback on this style.
