I ordered these and the Dash Glove to compare. These have a tad more cushioning and arch support (which I'm actually not a fan of) than the Dash Glove. The winning factor is that while my foot isn't wide, per se, sometimes a regular width can be a bit suffocating for my toes. I found that to be the issue with the Dash Glove; the Access Arc 2 clearly has a wider toe box. These are a very breathable shoe and when we head back to the south I don't anticipate foot heat being an issue! I normally run in Vibram Five Fingers, but it's nice to have an alternate shoe with a bit more cushioning and more between me and the wet cement. This fits the bill. Plus, it cuts down on dirty looks from fellow runners at races. I would also tell Merrell this is probably the best looking sneaker they have. Sometimes their shoes can be a bit...stodgy, but these are "cute" enough for my trendy self.

If you have a wide foot and frequently find that your toes are pinched, this might be a shoe for you. I'm used to having to return shoes because they are too narrow and uncomfortable. This shoe fit perfectly and I wore them all day right out of the box. If you have a narrow foot this is not for you, but for those who value comfort and don't like shoes that pinch, check this one out.

I have a couple other Merrell barefoots (lithe glove, dash glove) where I had to go up a half size to give myself room in the toebox for running, etc. I tried these on at the mall and was pleased to see I could order my normal 7.5. Ordered from Zappos because they had the color I was lusting after. Slight drop on these shoes so it's sort of a step back from true Merrell barefoots but if I overdo a day of exercise I have a bit of pain in the arch, these work perfectly. I think on Merrell's website they sort of call them out as being for someone easing into the barefoot lifestyle. It almost kept me from getting them. So glad I didn't let that stop me. These guys are light years better than the assortment of Nike's & Under Armour shoes now gathering dust in my closet and still have the barefoot feel I have come to know and love.

I have a pair of the Barefoot Dash but needed something with a little more support/cushioning. These fit the bill. I am a true 9 1/2. I have been wearing Merrells for years and always a 9 1/2. I wear a 9 1/2 in both the Barefoot Tempo and Barefoot Dash. So I was shocked that the 9 1/2 was too big. I had to go down to a 9.

These are just like their description: a barefoot shoe with a little bit of cushioning. I previously had the Merrill Barefoot Pace glove which I liked , but these are a little roomier in the toebox and the sole is much softer. I really like them!
