Really Cute...but not that comfortable...
These shoes are really cute, and that is the only reason
that I kept them. The fact that the shoe rocks as you walk
had my heels coming up out of the back of the shoe and I got
painful blisters on both heels. Also, I think there needs to
be more padding in the front of the shoe for the balls of
the feet. It seems like the curve of the shoe puts all of
your weight at the front of the shoe as you walk. I am on my
feet all day at work and my feet are very sore before my day
is even over! So, I guess I am one of those people who
suffer for cute shoes...
This brand is my favorite for work (I work 12 hr shifts as a
nurse). The styling is so cute that I like to wear them with
slacks and jeans. They really dress up a pair of jeans. With
dress trousers, they look as good as a pair of pumps. If you
are new to the brand, you need to realize the heel fit is
meant to be loose; this is part of the wear ability of the
shoe.
Perfect casual shoe - The Merrell Luxe Knit is so pretty, I
receive compliments every time I wear them. They beg to be
worn with a great pair of jeans. As others have mentioned,
there is some slippage in the heels, even when ordering down
a half size. I developed blisters on my Achilles tendons the
first two times I wore them (hence the four stars for
comfort). Now that I have toughened up, they're very
comfortable, with well-cushioned footbeds that make long
walks a pleasure (even though I have flat feet). The gold
embossing on the vamps doesn't hold up very well,
unfortunately, but the pattern stamped in the leather is
still very visible, so the charm is still there. |

the chic and elegant looks with the Merrell Luxe Knit. These
super cute shoes have the stylish design which makes them
fit with just about any outfit. They have been loaded with
the comfort to keep your feet as comfortable as possible.
They have excellent built quality just like any other style
by Merrell. The upper is made from the oiled nubuck leather
which is soft to provide you smooth and soft wearing. The
upper has the wool on the cuff which provides comfort to the
ankle and it also enhances the looks of these shoes. The
slip on design of these shoes allows you quick and fast on
and off wearing. The lining is made from the pigskin which
provides breathability and comfort to the feet. The lining
also maintains odorless and dry wearing by wicking the
moisture away from the foot. The footbed is cushioned to
deliver excellent comfort and the heel area has special Air
Cushion system to reduce fatigue and stress by absorbing the
shocks. The arch shank is made from the nylon to give you
excellent arch support. The midsole has been made from the
PU which has dual density and it is lightweight. This
midsole also absorbs the shocks to prevent stress and
deliver enhanced comfort. The outsole is made from the
rubber which is flexible and durable. This outsole is sticky
and it provides traction on the wet and dry surfaces. The
heel is 2 ¼ inches high with ¾ inches high platform. It
weighs 13 ounces as per size 8. You can find this style in
these colors: Burnt Olive, Black and Bitter Chocolate.
