We don’t currently offer a narrow-width option, but many of our customers with narrow feet find our shoes comfortable with a good fit! We recommend trying our lace-up styles, as they allow you to adjust the fit to your preference.
Yes, we offer wide sizes in most of our styles and colors! Wide sizes are indicated by a “W” after the size. Standard widths are medium. A “W” indicates Wide, designed to fit up to EE widths.
We hope to expand wide sizing to all colors and styles in the future. If there’s a specific style or color you’d like to request, please email us at help@merinoshoes.com!
Each product's shopping page has a sizing guide with the specific recommended sizing for that item. While it is best to reference those guides, here is a general guide for each category of Merinos:

Product Information
Merinos Classic are designed with medium, neutral arch support. If you prefer more support, we recommend to order from our Merinos Signature line. All insoles on our Slip-Ons, Lace-Ups, and Flats are fully removable, allowing you to use orthotics or swap them out for more or less support as needed.
Our outsoles are made from lightweight EVA foam rubber with a moderate tread. While they aren’t specifically designed to be fully slip-resistant, the tread may provide enough grip depending on your work environment.
For enhanced stability and traction, check out our Signature line, which features slip-resistant soles—perfect for those who need extra grip throughout their day.
Our shoes are crafted in Vietnam using premium Australian merino wool and we are proud to be a family-owned American company based in San Diego, California.
Our Sandals and Classic feature a knitted upper, while the Signature line is woven for added texture and durability. All of our shoes are made from a blend of 70% Australian Merino wool and 30% nylon, offering the perfect balance of softness, breathability, and strength.
Called "Classic" for a reason, Merinos Classic line is a long-running favorite and the original shoe that launched Merinos. Available in Lace-Up and Slip-On styles, Merinos Classic is a versatile, lightweight, breathable shoe at an affordable price. This shoe is tried and true, tested and reviewed by thousands of satisfied Merinos customers.
Merinos Signature was designed to take everything our customers love about Classic and upgrade it, plus some additional features. These include:
• Hands-free slip-ons and lace-ups featuring a "no crush" heel design.
• New insole with superior comfort and support.
• Redesigned outsole with rubber inserts for added stability and traction.
• Woven merino wool upper for elevated texture and durability.
• Slip-resistant soles for added stability and safety.
Our lace-ups feature elastic laces for easy, hands-free wear—and come with an extra pair of regular laces if you prefer. Both styles are lightweight, breathable, flexible, stretchy, super soft, machine washable, and deliver superior comfort for all ages!
