I went on the trip to Russia for 2 weeks. I liked this wallet very much. First of all it is soft and comfy, and the strap is also nice and non-intrusive, the whole thing is almost to a point that you don't even feel the thing is there. I kept about 10 coins in the smaller pocket along with folded in half money. In the larger pocket I kept my passport along with boarding coupon and other papers, receipts. The back pocket is without a zipper and larger papers easily fit in there though a bit sticking out, which is perfectly fine as that pocket is toward you and 2/3 of the stuff is still sitting in the pocket. I am talking about something like a few folded 8x11 papers, for example, or an airplane ticket, etc. The whole thing feels comfortable enough to be pulled up on the spot from under the shirt and to be dug into like any other wallet, and then be put away and back under your shirt. Or, if pulling the wallet from inside your chest is somewhat of a trouble for you, then lift up the bottom of your shirt and there you have access to it still. I used this silk neck wallet everyday on my trip, and the passport wallet I bought just before was left sitting in my suitcase, used not even once. This one is a keeper for me. I would certainly recommend, if you are not planning loading it up with change and other stuff, which could make it heavy for your neck, but I never did that, and wouldn't know how it goes. Hey, pants have pockets too, right?

I like this neck wallet so much that I use it everyday. I put my cell phone in it as well as a credit card and sometimes some loose change.

I thought I would love them. I do not. VERY cute on, but my toes are jammed up in the end while the ankle feels a bit loose. I am returning.

I really wanted these shoes to work out. They look more stylish on than they do in the pictures. They are a perfect style for a comfortable shoe to wear to the office. The problem for me was the toe box - it is not square enough. The slope along the outside is too steep, causing my smaller toes to get squished. It's too bad, everything else about them is perfect.

Darling and comfortable. True to size, but I have a narrow foot, so keep that in mind. Inserts fit fine, if you find you need them. I first bought in the tan; however, I thought it was impractical as it is a nubuck and would get very dirty. I returned for the black...love them.

There is really only one reason you are getting these flats: you know to expect little to no arch support as these are in the "Barefoot" line of Merrell's shoe. Of course, they are cute with a great design and gorgeous colors, but the reason to get these are not those. If you are looking at breaking into the minimalist shoes, these will be great, but expect to be uncomfortable wearing them for a little while because you are utilizing muscles that are usually not in use with other regular shoes. I have the "Tan" color, and they are exactly as pictured. The leather is thin and soft, which makes them very comfortable. The die-cut design is very cute and appealing. The shoes are form-fitting but not suffocating or too tight. I normally avoid shoes with a stretchy back but the back is only minimally elastic, and not annoying like other elastic-backed flats. Even with the form-fitting size, I would say they are ALMOST a half-size too big. I say "almost" because they still fit and don't slip around and I am worried that if I order a half-size smaller, they may be too small. These really almost fit like a glove.

This shoe was immediately comfortable as soon as I tried it on. The leather is super soft and molds to your feet and the entire shoe is so light. It was true to size if you don't wear socks. It does have a barefoot-style sole, so if you're not used to that, I don't recommend it. It's pretty flexible and soft, but not so thin that it hurts to walk over pebbles once in a while. I like that it's easy to slip on and off, but still stays snugly on your feet while walking. The only thing I don't like is the logo and how the sole comes up at the back. I think it'd look more sleek if it just had a normal back.

I ended up ordering a half size smaller than I usually wear in Merrell's and the fit was better than my usual size in this particular shoe. I love my Pace Gloves and a pair of black Mary Janes (the name escapes me at this time), but this Zest Glove just does not have the toe room the others have. I purchased these as a "casual dress" shoe for work part-time and am fairly happy with them for that. The bad thing is, though, for wearing them 2-3 days a week for 4 months, they are showing wear in that the lining inside the shoe at the toe is coming apart from the leather. I am sad about this, because it's not what I expected for the price of this shoe. Perhaps the lining is there for the construction of the shoe and not support...time will tell, I suppose.

Like the other reviewers, I found these shoes to be very cute but tight in the toe area. I exchanged my usual 7 (which I am in other Merrells) for a 7.5. I purchased this in Tan with the aim of having a comfortable sneaker-like shoe that was cute enough for a nice dinner out and a key need when traveling. Surprisingly, I haven't had any issues with the barefoot/minimalist style, in fact I've barely noticed it and it feels like a regular pair of flats (a very comfortable one).

I ordered a half size larger than my regular shoe size and I'm glad I did. I had to use "glide" anti-blister stuff for the first several wears; the top cuts into my left foot for some reason. Now they're broken in and I am very happy with them. Very cute-looking casual shoes. These are not my first pair of barefoot shoes, so I knew what to expect going in. I like this style of shoe and find it to be very comfortable.

I really wanted to like these. They are cute, the leather is very soft, and I'm into the minimalist shoe thing. But although they feel like they are the right size when sitting or standing, as soon as I start to walk, my heel slides forward (probably in part due to the tight elastic around the heel), and the front of the shoe digs into the top of my foot, and my toes get squished. These are the most uncomfortable shoes I own. I figured that they were supposed to be a little snug and "fit like a glove," but my feet hate them. Too bad I've worn them around a bit, thinking they'd stretch a little, so now I can't return them. Perhaps if they were a little larger, they would've worked out. But I don't know whether that would've stopped my foot from sliding forward as I walk. Very disappointed in these Merrells.

Cool, unique shoe! So far I've gotten a compliment on these shoes each time that I have worn them. They are a barefoot technology shoe & that should be noted, but that said - I got these for work and they have fared surprisingly well! I work 12 hour shifts walking & standing on cement floors in a hospital. I got these as a casual work shoe that I could wear with my maternity skirts & dresses this summer. After lots of searching & misses, I am happy with these shoes and surprised that my feet don't ache at the end of the day. The light leather color can get scuffed/marked, but so far it has easily been washed off.
