What happened Merrell? After owning 6 pairs of Encore Breeze Slip Ons, the new design of Breeze 3 HURTS MY FEET!
I have owned at least 6 pairs of Women's Encore Breeze Slip-Ons in Size 7. These are my go-to everyday shoe around the house and I wear them until holes are showing. The footbed of the new Breeze 3 is different than the prior 2 generations. I have been wearing the Breeze 3 pair for as many hours as I can tolerate to break them in (never had to "break in" the prior models) but end up taking them off because my feet hurt. It feels like they are too narrow and inflexible. Granted, I don't have the best feet, but that's why I wear these shoes and have never felt the slightest discomfort until this model. Merrell, why did you have to go and try to fix what was already a perfect shoe? I just went online and ordered another pair of the Breeze 2 while there is still some stock out there.
