MerrellJungle Moc Nubuck, Men's Slip-On Loafer Shoes - Beige (Classic Taupe), 10 UK

I don’t wear dress shoes, or even just “smart” shoes. I’ve never liked them, find them uncomfortable and like a suit or even a tie I see little point to them other than to conform to an outdated standard. I’m an office worker, but as an Engineer I get out and about a lot and when I’m not in safety boots I’m wandering across mucky car parks so dress shoes are out of place anyway. What I do wear though are boots like these, or my old favourite Dude Farty loafers.As a fell walker I’m a big fan of Merrell and Solomon walking boots, and generally live in my Merrell Moab Ventilator boots. These Jungle Mocs have the same fitting and comfy feel as those Moabs, but bridge the gap from outdoor boot to smarter day shoe. They’re rugged underneath, but stylish on the top, and I can pair them with my usual Craghopper Kiwi Classics or my work chino type trousers so I don’t look like I’ve just rolled off of Snowdon. Which I usually just have.Update: I've had the brown coloured ones now for coming up to a year, and have just brought a pair in black also, such is my regard for how comfy and practical they are.

I've had a few pairs of these Merrell Jungle Moc over the years and the fit is accurate plus they're very comfortable and well made - this is the first pair I've bought in the suede finish as they were significantly cheaper in a deal.I like the slip on feature which is so much more practical than a lace up casual shoe/trainer and there are pull-on tabs on the heels. The interior of the shoe has a special anti-odour treatment which seems to last a long time plus you can change the insoles.The outers don't need much cleaning as there's a rubber rim around the shoe. The heel is slightly higher than some but absorbs impact and makes the shoes great for walking in all but the roughest terrain. i have also found the shoes to be highly water resistant.In summary, a good value pair of practical shoes which are well made and should last quite a while.

I've tried lots of merrell shoes before, these have a strange outside 'fall' ... no balance on the little toe edge. Meaning if you walk with that slant then it will be easy to go over on your ankle. I'm very worried about this.I've only just received the shoes so will try them properly but I'm not so confident about them.They are very slippy on a wet pavement/road/carpark they slip and slide easily. I wear these at work on hard floors which do get wet so I'm deeming them pretty useless for me. they are ok for comfort. Not sure if I will be able to return them now as I've worn them twice.

This is the second pair I bought.Exactly the “same” style - but it’s not.The same size is looser and has lower cut around the ankle.The insole is now shaped as high on the outside of the foot as it is on the arch.Has the average anatomy of a human foot changed since I last bought a pair?Do other people now have arches on the outside of their feet as well as the inside?I bought a new pair because the previous shoe was five star but worn out.This is advertised as the same model but that’s nonsense.This shoe is now the worst fitting pair I own (out of over 100 pairs - and that includes 6 other pairs of Merrell).I can’t give less than 1 star but these don’t deserve even that.Merrell... your shoes used to comfortable and reliable but you’ve lost a customer.

My husband loves these shoes.He is so so fussy where shoes are concerned and they have to be just right, even doing what the family call, a stretch test when trying them on. There is such drama when he gets a new pair of shoes!So for him to say that they are great after wearing them for a few hours is not short of a miracle.It usually takes him weeks to get used to shoes and I could write a novel about shoes he tries, because he is so fussy, he drives me crazy.It also takes forever to drive in them, ( just in case) but today he got straight in the car and on arriving back he commented on how comfortable they are, so I punched the air! Finally I have scored 180 in my choice. Had I not got these he would still be in his scruffy Skechers which, when first bought were fine, but hes worn them to bits.

At the risk of giving away TMI this was a distress purchase as I had a bad back episode which made lacing shoes very awkward. So I decided to act my age and give in and get a pair of slip-ons. I scoured Amazon listings and came across these Merrell shoes which looked good, had good reviews, and were from a maker I had used and liked in the past.My previous experience with Merrells was that they could be a bit on the tight side, but I didn't want a slip-on shoe floating about on my feet. I am an 11 or 11½ in a normal shoe but generally buy 12 in trainers and running shoes. I opted for 11½ with this Merrell and it is... snug. Should I have bought the next size up? Not sure, but I think it's possible. Anyway, I think they are wearing in OK without causing irreversible damage to my feet, but just be careful on the sizing. Otherwise these shoes are great. They are well made; I think they look good; and they are actually comfortable despite the... snugness. Recommended.

They're comfortable, look good, and stay looking good. Longer-term though, I am very disappointed with their durability.I first wore my pair on 1st May this year, and the soles are basically worn through. Bearing in mind that I wore sandals constantly for three months during that period, and that I wear other shoes for work, running, hiking, etc., it's just not acceptable for them to have worn out in such a short time. I have had roughly three months of wear: by contrast, my Timberland loafers have lasted roughly four times as long and are still going strong!For the price I paid, I find this very disappointing indeed.
