These are breeze 3, and the merrell website only has breeze 4 at a higher price. First pair lasted 23 years! Wore a pair for many years with great satisfaction.

Merrell encore breeze 3 are stylish, but not nearly as comfortable. They cause a very sweaty, moist environment inside the shoe. These shoes are very noisy!

The sole on these def disappoint. Remove the insole and put a cheap thin insole from dollar store in it. For some reason though on my right foot it pulls my sock down every time i wear them.

Merrell sent defective printer to a customer. Came back, bought new cartridges, still no luck. Concluded that printer was fried. Very sad. There’s virtually none.

It feels more plastic-y. Feels much harder rather then feeling stronger or supportive. Cuff on shoe is cheap plastic not leather. Top of shoe is cheaply & stiff with stiff lining.
