Merrell Women's Hollyleaf Sandal

I am not a 'sandal' person; due to so many foot issues; and I need surgery. THESE sandals are the exception! First of all; they look totally cool and will match about anything! Even if I dress up; people are used to seeing me in sneakers and braces; so no big deal that these are not very 'dressy'. These are exceptionally comfortable. The sandal has some arch support; which is awesome; and the bottoms-the part that your foot sits on-have flowers on them that are actually raised and feel comfy. The toe part is not an issue at all; I thought it might be. I have rather large big toes and they fit great-no slipping. As far as walking in them; total comfort; I don't even notice they are on; and they are not 'sloppy' on my feet. My feet stay in the sandal; so they are not sloppy that way either! I originally ordered an 8; too small on my R foot-which is my 'bigger' foot. I had to order a size up. So the L sandal is a bit big; but not enough to be bothersome; or look odd. Overall; these look great; have excellent support for a 'flip-flop' looking sandal and I am SO excited to be able to actually wear this type of footwear! Thanks Merrell and Amazon!

I love the way they fill good against your feet. I love the color .they are just a real nice sandal to wear all year round

I heard these were discontinued, so I bought all they had in my size. As a person with an ugly bunion on one foot, but who is also a shoe lover, I try to find cute things that will cover the deformity up. I live in a hot climate, so sandals and flip flops are a must.These are cool and comfortable, no breaking in period, no blisters or scratches. They don’t make that flip slip sound. They are tough-I bought my first pair for Hawaii and it was all I needed. I went on the beach, got them wet, climbed rocks, back to the sand, had them by the pool, and they are still in great condition over a year later.They’re stylish as a shoe like this can be. The string gives it a bit of character and certainly, can be worn with shorts, a midi shirt, or caftan.The best part about these Merrell’s is they cover the bunion and my foot looks almost normal, yet they are still super casual. .(Some people think these have corrective powers-they don’t.) But they have the powers of invisibility. The only negative is they have been discontinued. Their replacement shoe is also cute but looks cheaper and my understanding it doesn’t have the thick memory foam bottom. At some point, I’ll need to buy some but for now, I’m sticking with what my feet know. My days of aching feet are long over! I have them blue, tan and black. If I could find a bright color in my size I’d be set!Hope you like as much as me.

How they help my feet look a lot better. The color is great. The fit is all great. I'm so happy I find them. Thanks

Love these. Cute and very comfy!

These are comfortable enough to wear sightseeing all day, even going up the steep hills of Arlington National Cemetery. I bought my original pair about 3 years ago. They are still comfortable and look nice. I recently bought a second pair when they were on sale. These have a place for your big toe which are different from the similar looking slide. I usually wear custom orthotics in a closed shoe, but wearing these did not bother my feet, legs or back. Obviously, I would purchase again.

I am so mad that Merrell discontinued this style! I bought a pair about a year ago and wore them daily around the house and out running errands most days. Before I bought them I had been having some foot pain and it stopped after I got these shoes.The shoe was a little tight at first but didn't take long to stretch to my foot. The microfiber foot bed is soft and comfortable and does not make my feet sweat like almost all plastic foot bed shoes do. I washed them several times and they always came out looking fantastic after washing. Once while out running errands in the rain, the shoes got soaking wet. I was so upset thinking I would have to live with swamp foot while I was out all day long, but the shoes dried in almost no time at all. I'm not crazy about the braided strap--it cut into my foot a little in the beginning, but after a while I got used to it and it didn't bother me. It does add a nice accent to the shoes.After about a year wearing these, my foot pain returned... looking at the soles, I could tell they were broken down and needing replacement. When I went to buy a replacement, I was so sad to find that this style has been discontinued. I was not able to get my size at a reasonable price through Amazon, so I tried the suggested replacement--Merrell's new Terran style. Unfortunately, that style was not nearly as supportive. The sole is much thinner compared to these. They didn't fit me as well as the Hollyleaf style and I had to return them. I am now wearing the Mimix style as a replacement for these, but I really wish Merrell would bring back the Hollyleaf style.

I've been wearing this Merrell "Hollyleaf" sandels for almost a decade. I have bad arches & need as much support as I can get & these have the best arch support I found out there. I bought this style in several different colors & finally wore out my last pair & had to get new ones. There is a new style similar, but it's made with synthetics instead of leather. Thank God I was able to find the Hollyleaf in these two colors in my size 10! I included a photo of them at different angles. The two colors are top, Bracken & bottom is Tan. Sizing is limited because it's a discontinued style. Since these are well made, I'm good to go for quite a few years!

I've just received these and at the first glance and feel I'm very very impressed. They fit and feel very much like my custom made orthotics minus 10 times the cost.The support of the arch is great, no pressure on the toes or heel at all, I've been on feet all day today and while I was wearing them I didn't feel any feet fatigue at all. Took them off and could see the huge difference they make.Fit nice and snug. I'm between 7.5 and 8 (usually 8 would feel a tiny bit larger than I need, but 7.5 would be almost uncomfortably tight) and I ordered an 8 - it fits as if was made for my feet specifically. No extra room but not tight in any way. Just right, what you need for great support, they feel as if you were wearing a shoe not a flip flop.I hope this initial feel doesn't fade away with time.

These are the best .. we are currently travelling overseas and they are so comfortable and light with lots of walking

It's a little embarrassing to admit that I LIVE in these sandals all summer long. They go with everything from shorts to dresses and they are blissfully comfortable thanks to an almost trainer-like sole. The only downside is that you have to put them away in winter (unless like me you wear them around the house instead of slippers!). LOVE THEM!

I had this make of sandals recommended and couldn't believe how comfortable these are. They go on holiday every year where they get some real hammer and never take my skin off my toes, unlike sandals in the past.I would have liked them in other colours, but they are only available in red and brown, which is a shame.Ten out of ten for comfort and durability!

ich habe sehr lange nach einem Zehentrenner gesucht! Von Merrel hatte ich schon mal einen anderen Schuh und war damit sehr zufrieden. Der Schuh ist klein geschnitten. Ich habe den Schuh ca 1 Nr. größer genommen und bin damit mehr als zufrieden!Der Schuh ist super bequem und auch für alle Spaziergänge geeignet.
