I love these shoes. They are not my first pair of barefoot shoes but for daily wear they are my current favorites. Cute, comfortable, and sturdier than they look. I wore them at a beer festival where I was on my feet for several hours and came away with no foot or lower back pain; the only other shoes that have even come close to giving me that kind of comfort are my Danskos. I ticked "no arch support" because they aren't supposed to have any, not because I think it's lacking. After three weeks of almost daily wear, my feet already feel stronger and are less prone to cramping. If you haven't worn barefoot shoes before, be prepared for a period of adjustment. If you have and you need a cute pair of shoes, these are just the ticket.

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.

Doesn't fit my narrow foot as well as the styles that lace. Even so, the left arch strap was 1/4 inch longer and sewn at a different angle than the right strap making the right and left shoes fit differently. If they were both like the right, I might have been able to put innersoles in the front half of the shoe to take up the high toe box and keep my foot back. Just not the right style for me I guess. Cute, and well made other than that. Oh, and because it doesn't lace, my left (lazy ankle) falls inward...the reason for the no arch support comment. Tried to give it a 4 star overall but it's stuck on 5. Go figure.

This is a review for the Merrell Barefoot Wonder Glove shoe. About me/my foot: I have worn Merrell shoes before, generally hiking or running. I typically wear a 7.5, have an average to very slightly wide foot and a high arch. I walk frequently in anything from metro US and international cities to many off-the-beaten path destinations. I demand comfortable shoes. First, I ended up with the 7, not the 7.5 I typically wear. The 7 fits for me. That said, I think the "feel" of the shoe is not highly supportive compared to other Merrell's where they have excellent arch support and overall feel incredibly comfortable, yet sturdy. But...this is Merrell's offering of a barefoot shoe - so it is not the point in this particular 'barefoot' shoe. If you are looking for the typical support you get from Merrell's hikers/runners, this is not the shoe for you. If you want a dynamite mash-up barefoot with ballet flat - this is the shoe for you. I wanted a shoe I could easily pack (I only travel with a carry-on, so space and weight matter a lot to me). I can jam these shoes into anything, my suitcase, bike pannier, etc. While I insist on comfort, I also want a shoe that looks good too... If I need to walk 3-4 miles around a city and want to be in a summer skirt, these shoes are great. I could envision doing a light hike, but nothing too technical. They remind me of other "sport" sandals, but look much cuter and I would say comparable on comfort (sorry Teva lovers). I gave a 4 out of 5 for comfort. To be clear, I think these shoes are very comfortable, but if I am rating this shoe against my most comfortable runners - they are not as comfortable. Given the shoe design, I labeled it as "no arch support" - at least for me. I have a high arch, but nothing in this shoe strikes/supports my arch, but there is a little padding in the "arch zone" that may be more supportive for people that are flatter footed. As for the comments I read before purchase about feeling like you are walking on pavement...indeed...afterall, these are barefoot shoes... My vantage: I don't own a single pair of standard ballet flats because every pair I have tried felt like the ball of my foot was 'beating' the pavement. That factor, coupled to my heel rub and a tight toe-box, I have never found standard ballet flats to be comfortable or work for me. These shoes are quite comfortable to me and I would definitely recommend them. Happy shopping!

Love these shoes! They are exactly what I wanted and I am thrilled with them. I find the strap and the button hook work great for me. I know others had complained about them, but I like the easy off. They are very comfortable and my favorite shoe right now!

I absolutely love my barefoot shoes! This is my first pair and I hope to buy another pair in another color. I reach for them more than any other pair of shoes. They did take some breaking in, but now I can walk in them all day. I usually wear a 9 1/2 but think I will size up one half size as my big toes hit the front of the shoe. I wear these to work - I walk a lot at work and my legs and feet never hurt. Love, love, love them!

Typically I love this brand but this show has no arch support. But they are cute. If I had tried them on in a store I would not have bought them.
