Let me preface this review by saying that I hate gym shoes as a rule. I find them to be all around bulky and unattractive to wear on any regular basis unless you're a particularly physically active person, and so I haven't owned a pair of gym shoes in almost 10 years. I am in the process of moving to London where walking long distances on a daily basis will be a regular occurrence, so in the interest of personal health began searching for a gym shoe I could tolerate. I did quite a bit of research before deciding to try these. I was intrigued by the "minimalist" quality and the fun colors were a nice change from white, gray, and black! I read somewhere that these ran slightly small and that it was recommended that people purchase a half size up from their usual shoe size. I did this, but ended up sending them back and ordering a pair in my natural shoe size. I found they fit perfectly, though I will say that if you have wider feet they might run a bit tiny bit small. I have worn these twice now, once to the gym and once for several miles of walking. They are wonderful! The arch support fits my foot perfectly, though I suspect this is a subjective measurement. And I -love- the flexibility. I'm a "ballet flats" kind of girl, so I like my feet to have movement in my environment. These didn't take any time to get used to for me, but if you're unused to minimalist shoes they have a wonderful series of videos and instruction manuals to help you get used to these shoes. My mother, who walks 8-10 miles a day, wears a half size up from me and tried on these shoes as well before I sent them back for a smaller size. She promptly went out and bought a pair for herself! I absolutely recommend these shoes. They're cute with a lot of personality and a great comfort level. They can be worn barefoot, which I personally love, or with socks making them extremely versatile for different climates. (Purchased size 6 in "crystal".)

Really liked the look, but shoe has a serious design flaw: lace guides are attached to the tongue, so I couldn't get my foot in without partially unlacing and pulling the lace guides out of top eyelets. It was difficult to reinsert the guides while wearing the shoe.

This shoe is perfect for someone who has a bunion! I have had problems for years finding a shoe wide enough at the ball of the foot to comfortably accommodate my wide foot with my narrow heel. More recently, it became obvious that there are few shoes out there that provide toe wriggling space. True, there is little arch support - but hey, what would you expect with a name like "barefoot?" Bought my first pair in black from a department store and immediately searched online to discover this site with all the great colors. This shoe is incredibly lightweight. Not warm for outdoor cold winter weather, but perfect for summertime and indoors. I specifically bought these for doing body work, where I rely on my legs and feet for strength. I believe these shoes are true to size as I recently had to have an 8 1/2 sandal (in another major brand) so I believe it is the bunion issue, along with my age that has now turned me into a size 8 1/2. Since buying 2 pairs of this shoe, I now have just purchased a Merrell winter boot that is equally comfortable. I highly recommend this brand.

Great alternative for the oddly-received "toe shoe"! Order 1/2 a size up if you're going to wear socks.

I LOVE these shoes. But know what they are before you buy them. They are minimalist and take getting used to. I am very pleased with them but you may not be unless you take the time to adjust minimalist shoes the way Merrell suggests on their website.

After dealing with hip and back problems for so long I have had to experiment with different shoes - As soon as I put these on I knew immediately that these were the best and most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. I love them neurotically. They are a product of the new minimalist running trend. I especially recommend them if you have back problems. Best investment ever.
