Perfect shoes to wear with leggings and a big sweatshirt - not clunky like "regular" athletic shoes but not dressy like ballet flats. Cute!

I have a somewhat narrow foot and it is hard for me to find shoes that are not lace-up that actually fit. These were no exception. I could slide my finger with room to spare easily around the top of the toe area. I love Merrell's but I feel bad returning so many of them for other styles. Thank goodness for free returns. Thank you Zappos.

Lovely color combo and light as a feather but because of the design of the front part of the shoe, it is way too tight for my foot. Will have to return because the next size up is not available. As always, Zappos service is excellent.

I just recently purchased these in black. They are as light as a feather. They do fit a bit loosely though I needed my regular 7.5 due to length. However they don't slip on the heel at all thanks to the strap. And with the bit of extra space I can wear thin socks if I want which looks surprising cute if they are fun pring. I've been wanting some ballet flats and don't like the type with the elastic in the heel but those without elastic always slip so these are a nice alternative for me and the diagonal strap is cuter and a little different than a regular mary jane strap. I plan to take them on a trip to China to be my dressy shoe when I don't want to wear my hiking boots. They won't take up any space or weight in my suitcase which is a major plus. If they weren't on the pricey side I would be tempted to get the pink too.

My husband walked in the room as I was trying these on and exclaimed, "Those are some crazy ugly shoes!" I thought they were cute! They are more tan than in the picture. They were comfortable, but I was looking for more support. I did not realize they would be so barefootish. For the right person they would probably be great. I was just looking for something with a more supportive sole.

These shoes are great. The toe box does feel a bit bigger then a 7.5 but I think that, that will be good since it will allow for your feet to swell a bit if you plan on walking long distances. They are perfect for going on a trip since they weigh nothing and won't take up much room in a suitcase. I got them for my upcoming trip to Italy and France and they will be perfect. I can easily use them to do light hiking and walk all over europe while still feeling comfortable enough with the style to go out to a nice dinner in them. I have been looking for a pair of shoes like this forever and was hesitant to buy them but I'm so glad I did. Everyone should own these shoes!

This shoe is adorable in style! The aluminum color is a taupe and white combination which will work with so many things. Unfortunately I don't think the barefoot style is going to work for me. There is no arch support and I could feel my feet flattening and rolling over the minute I put them on. They get an A+ for style but the fit doesn't work for anyone accustomed to a solid arch support and a good walking sole. I wish they would design this same shoe with a more heavy duty walking sole.

I've recently converted to "barefoot" running, i.e. running in shoes that offer no support whatsoever, just minimal protection from sharp stones and broken glass. I took my first run in these shoes this morning, and I love them -- it really does feel almost like running barefoot. They'll fold up to almost nothing when I'm traveling, and as an extra added bonus they're good-looking enough to use for dress shoes. A best buy.

I wanted to like these shoes so much as they are very cute. I am a big advocate of barefoot shoes and own several for running, including ones by Merrell. But wearing these around the house for a couple of hours, my toes felt too scrunched (even when I went up a size) and something about the construction bothered the ball of my foot. More comfy with socks but I wanted to wear them without. So, with much deliberation, I am sending them back.

I was surprised that this shoe, being a Merrell, had absolutely zero support and is probably terrible (used long-term) for your feet. However, if you just want something to wear periodically around the house, it's fine, or use an insert for more support. Besides no support, it is nice quality and feels pretty much like walking on bare feet. It is a neutral color and would go with many things.

Cute option for those wanting to continue the barefoot option when running shoes are not an option. Really comfortable, too. I own 2 pairs in 2 colors and the two size 7's fit very differently. Beware and maybe order 2 sizes.

This is the cutest shoe. I bought these to wear to soccer games when it gets warmer.

I just purchased these at (another store, sorry Zappos) and I love them. They are super cute and dressy enough for casual office wear. I'm not really a dressy person anyhow. They look like ballet shoes and are very feminine. I have a long low volume foot (not much top to bottom and pretty narrow.) I usually wear a 10 across the board, but needed these in a 9.5 I tried a 9 but it was way too short and my toe was pressed uncomfortably in the toe box. The 9.5 fits perfectly for me. The 10 I could put my finger behind my foot and still had more room to spare. So I would recommend to size down a half size if possible.

These shoes are nice and very comfortable. They are a fine everyday casual shoe.

Amazingly comfortable right out of the box! I ordered them in Black and in Guava and kept both. The Guava is a bit greener than my monitor showed (I was expecting more of a sunny yellow) but still a really versatile color. I can't help but think that they'd look better with a regular horizontal Mary Jane strap instead of the asymmetrical strap, but they're still really cute. Wish they came in red! And brown too!

Love these shoes. Diagonal strap and styling are very cute. Very comfortable. Easy to slip on and off, but once on, they don't slip around on your feet. They are flat, without a lot of padding, but that's what I like. I wear them outside and around the house, and it feels like I'm in bare feet with protection. My feet are wider at the toes and skinnier at the heel, and the shoes fit perfectly. Like a glove!

Just got these yesterday, and I think they are fantastic! I like a casual shoe that slips on easily for walks around the neighborhood, etc. The mulberry color is a purple-ish pink, bright and easy to coordinate. I usually have a hard time finding a fit between a 9.5 and 10, depending on the fit of the shoe; my feet are just a little wider than a regular 9.5. I went with the 9.5 based on other reviews that said the shoe is a bit roomy, and the fit is spot on. After a day on my feet, I did find the strap (which fastens very easily!) a bit tight. I can leave the strap off and the shoe stays on fine with no slipping. I will be getting another pair without the strap.
