Merrell Encore Ice 5 Slip-On

This model of the ICE has less fur and nearly none at the toe area. I ordered a wide because my other ICE shoes are now too snug to wear with socks; the Wide in this case was too loose. The less fur makes a wider shoe. Disappointed to have to return, but I do have four other earlier models of ICE. I must have purchased 100 pair of Merrells over the years, but old age and arthritis have changed my feet and can no longer get the fit I need. Sad, as I love Merrells.

I love all the encores but the last couple of orders I got rid of due to the sizing was more like an 11 than a 10.

Great for winter and easy slip on and off. I wear them when it’s cold outside. I can wear them to the doctor or down to the arena when it’s chilly outside. They are dressy enough to fit in anywhere. They are also very comfortable.

Love these shoes. Have bought multiple pairs over the years. Generally takes a couple of years before wearing out.

I wear these all Fall-Early spring. They are warm and fuzzy, great to walk in and, at times, double as slippers. This is the 7th pair I have owned.

the only thing i don't like is that all the beautiful colors these very comfortable, long wearing shoes come in are only in the regular width. no fair!

Excellent for trails, walking, hills. My stability is critical at my age...78...and these are my go to for almost everything. Hard to wear them out.

My last pair of these, which I wear all winter, were looking worn after at least ten years of use. I was delighted to see that they are still being manufactured, so I ordered a black pair and a brown pair.
