Merrell J000796 District Muri Lattice Women's Athletic Shoes Review

I love the look and feel of these shoes when I'm standing in them. But the straps aren't adjustable, and the tiny buckle is almost impossible to undo once you've fastened it. Eventually the straps were too loose for my foot and I am sending the shoes back.

I sent it back but only kept it for the comfort of the sandals. The style is so masculine and your legs look bigger than they really are. lol! I only use it in my garden. Can't wear it in public. Boring design and style. Besides, it's too expensive.

Looks nice and would fit if the strap adjuster would hold the strap. Unfortunately, the third time I put them on, the clasp holding the strap on both sandals slipped off within a minute or two, leaving the sandals dangling on my feet. Now they slide every time. So disappointed!

I have many pairs of Merrell sandals, my favorite brand, but they didn't fit my thin feet. The strap is adjustable on one side and not on the other. Very strange design. The strap on one side fit my foot, the strap on the other side stayed about an inch off my leg. I would think that even if you had big or fat feet it wouldn't work as you can't adjust the opposite side smaller OR larger.

The soles on these sandals are very comfortable but as they only come in whole sizes I increased the size from an 8.5 to a 9. The straps were too loose and had no way to adjust for landing. I was expecting a dark gray but they were definitely grey, which I didn't want. Another issue I had was that the straps felt like cotton and if wet would likely rub and blister. They're cute sandals but they just didn't fit me so they came back.

Another Merrell sent back - how's the quality lately? Merrell has been my favorite brand for years, but not anymore. As mentioned in another review, the straps are loose and only one can be adjusted. No grip, but that's what I wanted - I love the barefoot feeling. The style was cute. But here's the problem: when I tried them on and switched from carpet to a smooth surface (clean and dry), I almost slipped and fell. Hm? Unless I had a fake, I've never seen a Merrell sole finish like this…

I really wanted to like these shoes as they looked like they could be worn on or off without sacrificing comfort. Although they were really comfortable, many people will not like the strap design of these shoes. The only part of the shoe that the adjustable strap tightens is the strap itself. The size I purchased was perfect for the base of my foot, but I had to tighten the top straps significantly to secure the shoe. They were very free. I tightened the strap and immediately realized the flaw…

I bought a blue Merrell Terran Lattice II sandal and a brown Merrell District Muri Lattice sandal. They are both very similar. The rear is the biggest difference, along with the strap pattern and trim at the bottom of the sole. Terran straps are adjustable with Velcro. They are quite loose but the velcro is too short. I didn't like the additional strap and the look of the Velcro fasteners. I couldn't unbuckle the strap and I'm not sure if the buckle is supposed to be like that. They DO NOT NEED
