Comfortable and Versatile
Man, these are comfortable. Out of the box insanely comfortable. What I think is so cool is that the way these are designed, I can wear a thick wool sock or adjust the laces and go barefoot and everything in between. I'm not a runner but a hiker and walker. Since I bought these about a month ago, they have just become my everyday shoe. For comfort, they will adjust to your feet, not the other way around. I did have to size down by a half size and could have gone a full size if I intended to only go barefoot. I have wide feet and high arches and they just hug my feet. On a somewhat trivial thing, I think it's cool they offer colors that aren't the typical womens pink/purple/teal etc. The dark ones go with everything and it's nicely understated in the color design. The only reason I'm knocking a star off is that I can already see signs of minor wear and I don't think they will last for years like most other shoes Merrell offers. I really don't care too much though as the comfort trumps all. Another odd thing is the laces are just too long when you really tighten the shoe up. I'm going to cut about two inches of tail off and put another ferrule on it. Also, the laces seem kind of flimsy. These are petty issues and I'm just so happy to have found a sneaker that's this comfortable, stylish and versatile. Whenever they wear out I will definitely be hunting for another pair. Whatever your foot shape, you'll be happy with these and upset you didn't get them sooner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great shoe, allows natural stride, provides protection from rocks etc
Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2021

I love Merrill trail barefoot shoes. I tried them 3 years ago and never left them. They fit great. I have a narrow foot. So the toe box is important. Most running shoes are too wide and my foot slides around, creating a tenderness on the ball of my feet. These shoes are wide enough to allow foot expansion during long runs (13 miles) but snug enough my feet do not hurt. I only run in these for road and trail for their 1st year. There is a slight arch for support. The soles are strong for protecton and flexible to let your feet move naturally and allow me to use a natural stride. I dont have aching knees after long runs and my balance is much better. Plus I am not falling like I was because I can feel the road or trail and I am not stumpling over small objects because i do not have a 1 inch sole or higher to compensate for making my stride other then natural. These are great for hiking and daily wear as well. I have crossed streams and ran in the rain with them and they dry pretty quick and are not uncomfortable to continue running or walking in. I am 66 and now I rarely wear anything but a barefoot shoe all day. You do need to slowly transition to a barefoot shoe if you are not use to being barefoot. Now on the rare times I wear a shoe that is not bare foot based, my knees start to hurt in about 30 min. Because the shoe takes control and forces me to walk un-natural. I have purchased no less then 6 pairs of these shoes. One shoe lasts me a year of running. I then transition them to daily wear and eventually to work in the garden. I buy new ones when on sale, even when I do not need them yet. I hope this honest review helps.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous!

I love these shoes - I have 3 pair and am so tempted to get another. As others noted, they are immediately comfortable. The best way I've found to determine the correct size is to measure the length of your longest foot in centimeters, then look up that length on the Japanese size chart then look across to the US sizing. I love the redesign of the 'tongue' into a wrap, as it stays in place so much better. They do have arch support; if you're not used to wearing shoes with arch support it takes only a very little wear to get used to it. I also like the new laces with a touch of stretch to them, as they hold better. The toebox is definitely wide enough to spread and wiggle my toes, yet not so wide as to slip around. The shoes definitely have a glove-like feel. The soles are firmer than the soles of the vapor glove, but they are also thicker, providing a bit more protection. My feet are a tad wide towards the front but narrow in the heels and my heels don't slip out of these, which is a matter of lacing as they work for wide heels, too. I love that these are lightweight and zero drop for barefoot style running. Seriously, I'd probably have 10 pairs of these if I didn't have any self-control!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best athletic shoes ever!
Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2017

I think these are the most comfortable athletic shoes I have ever had. I've looked at them for a while and for some reason I can't specify, I was reluctant. I am so glad I got over that. I have been an avid runner, step aerobics, weight-lifter, gym-goer for many years, most of my life. I have gone through so very many pairs of shoes, all have had good/bad points. I will have to see how these hold up and update the review later, but I think I am in love with these shoes.

Not only are they comfortable, they fit the way I would expect, snug, but not tight. The laces are perfect, soft, but they stay put. They have enough padding, but not too much. There's no seams that rub, no pinching or rubbing anywhere. Just a truly incredible fit.

I don't review products as often these days, just don't have enough time, but I had to make time for these. I am a very happy customer so far. I have always heard great things about Merrell shoes and I expect I will be a repeat customer.

These shoes are AWESOME!
I am logging a lot of running miles and my toes always felt too cramped in traditional running shoes, even New Balance in wide widths. toes need to naturally splay when running and these shoes are perfect! I have the Vapor Gloves for everyday use but they don't provide much protection from pebbles and debris while running. I run with my head up and don't want to constantly look down to make sure I'm not going to step on a pebble or such that might be painful on the ball of my foot (I'm a toe runner and don't heel strike). These shoes have the perfect amount of forefoot protection.
The laces are very adjustable and the uppers are pliable enough that no matter how narrow or wide your foot is, the laces can easily accommodate your foot size. My heel stays put comfortably in the shoe. I wear a thin sock and they don't slide around or droop down into the shoe.
What else can I say?
The ONLY cons? Well, I guess the fact that they are not very pretty. Not fashionable at all. I actually hate the look of them on mine and others feet but that's probably why my feet need space to move now. Too many cramped toe boxes when running and "fashionable" shoes have destined me for a life in Chacos and barefoot shoes.

Very comfortable, hugs my foot, and I appreciate the elastic laces, as I can slip my foot in and out easily enough. I've been a Merrell fan for a long time, and these did not dissappoint. I use as everyday shoe rather than trail running, but they have great grip, and I can tell they'll last as long or longer than my old pace gloves!
