Merrell Men's Encore Gust 2 Slip On Espresso - J002093

These are so easy to put on and off, very comfortable and great support.

always love Merrill shoes,, especialy slip on shoes, why bother with laces...

Shoe is too stiff and makes clapping-like noise when walking.

I owned both the original Encore Gust and now the Encore Gust 2 and I am disappointed with the durability of the new design. The original Gust had leather lining on the inner side of the edges and they lasted a long time. The new design has a polyester fabric where the leather used to be and it wore through really quickly. These are comfortable shoes, great design, but for the sake of little bit of extra leather cost they really compromised the durability of the shoe. I hope they start using leather again in their Gust 3 design, otherwise they are not worth the cost.

This was my third pair .. . . I tried to order black but it looks more like dark brown to me my . . .
