Customer Reviews Merrell Barefoot Pace Glove

These are so comfortable that a bought a second pair. I have a difficult right foot because of a bunion. These shoes are perfect.

I loved the idea of these shoes and ordered a half size bigger, but they were still a half size small. The little bump for the arch support felt like it was way off. I didnt really expect arch support from this shoe but the little cushion there was seemed to be to far forward, letting my foot push to far forward and allowing my toes to hit. I dont think it would be fixed with a larger size but otherwise they are so awesome I am willing to try it. (esp with the easy return policy on zappos) I have returned mine with no problems.

Best workout shoes I've ever worn. Truly like being barefoot. For me, they ran true to size (7.5). Zappos has very competitive prices and returns are easy. The people are great and seem to love their jobs. Very helpful.

I like this shoe. I bought it for just kicking around and it will be great for that. Not enough support for anything beyond that for me, but I'm rather needy when it comes to that.

I love these shoes. I have always hated wearing the classic running shoe. No matter which brand or model I tried, they all felt like I was running with boards strapped to my feet. The Merrell's are completely different, extremely comfortable and light. I felt like I was flying on my first run with them. My feet can do what they are naturally meant to do. I can run longer and faster with less fatigue. Be careful, you need to "break in" to these shoes because certain muscles that have atrophied from running in conventional shoes need to get in shape. Zappos service from ordering to delivery was exceptional; shoes arrived earlier than expected. I love Zappos! And I love these shoes!

Primo. I use them around the house/downtown. I jog in them, but not on trails 'cuz I do not want to wear them out. they are very very comfortable. I have narrow feet

Excellent shoe! It's not the sleekest looking minimalist shoe, but it's the most comfortable by far. Great for weightlifting and working out. I ordered down a half-size, which was a mistake. Order your normal sneaker size for the best fit.

These shoes are amazing! I originally bought them to wear on a daily basis to walk around in, but have since incorporated them as my running shoes too. This was my first pair of minimalist shoe and that initially took a little getting used to.

I have always wanted to get a minimalist, "barefoot" running shoe but did not like the style and look of the "toe shoes". These are a great compromise and very comfortable. Lot's of room in the toe area versus traditional running shoes where I felt like my toe kept jamming into the front. These have an amazing fit and I like that you can really tighten the laces. The only issue is that the laces are a bit long, even when I double knot them. Perhaps that is just because I have narrow feet. I'll probably just replace them myself but otherwise this is a wonderful minimalist running shoes.

Five stars plus! I've never been tempted to buy 2 of the same thing, but these shoes are too good to miss out on. Incredibly comfortable and yet good support. Thank you, Merrell!

I changed my running style a year ago and purchased these shoes recently to assist with the 'barefoot' technique I adopted. I literally can't run improperly in these and the perfect mid-foot strike. Highly recommended.

I love these shoes. I have 2 pairs and they are great for working out in the gym. It's much easier to do aerobic workouts in these than in regular running shoes -- they are super light on your feet and it's easier to keep good form when your heel is flat to the floor. Also, they look really cute with rolled up jeans.!

First shoe I've found that fits my foot perfectly! I have a very small but wide foot and have suffered wearing Vans kids shoes. These shoes are light, breathable, and easy to break in. Took a mile and a half run the day I got them and they were perfect. I like them so much I bought two pairs! Make sure you double knot the laces because they are a bit slippery.

Great shoe. I ordered a size nine because I rarely deviate from that but this shoe seemed a bit snug (as others mentioned). Go up a half size. Love the shoe otherwise and it looks great with jeans. Walked all over London and my feet felt great.

I wasn't sure at first because these shoes felt so different from all my others tennis shoes. I decided to give them 2 weeks and now I don't want to wear any other shoes! They are very comfortable and have great traction. I wore them on a 6 mile hike in week 2 and decided to keep them. I did, however, wear them without socks and got a blister under my ankle bone. Otherwise, love 'em.

Omg! Shoe is addicting. You will never want to wear any other shoes after you wear these. So sad they don't come in any more solid neutral colors!

Awesome shoe! I tried several other barefoot brands and this one doesn't rub any blisters, especially on the back of my heels. I would definitely buy this again!

I ordered two pairs of minimalist Merrell shoes from Zappos. They arrived 26 hours after I placed my order! This is the pair that I chose to keep. They fit great and are true to size. They are very comfortable and the style is nice! "Dark Shadow" is a good color and should work well with everything from jeans to active pants and shorts.

These are amazingly comfortable shoes. Like another reviewer, the wide is exactly what I needed for bunions. I liked them so much I bought another pair for backup.

A friend has a pair of these, and they looked so cute and comfy that I wanted to try them. It turned out that they are sporty and adorable, and really comfortable to wear. I have walked around the office all day in them, and gone for long leisure walks in them as well.

I've put hundreds of miles on my pair of Merrell Barefoot Pace Gloves in the last 2 years. They've hugged my feet through three trail 1/2 marathons, two road 1/2 marathons, and almost all of my training. Great on trail, great on road, great for kicking around. They are just now looking like they are ready to be retired. only dilemma is whether to get another pair of these or the version that's more geared to street running. Before these, I was wearing minimalist Pumas (great for narrow feet, btw), which I liked until my toes got a taste of the sweet Merrell toebox. I also occationally run in an older Vivo Barefoot model, which feel like loose slippers.

Hands down, the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I have arthritis in my toes and my feet hurt all the time, so it's hard for me to find shoes that are comfortable. From the minute I put these on, I knew they were the perfect shoe for me. Even though they are a sneaker-type shoe, I wear them with pants to work almost every day. The only disadvantage is that if you accidentally step in a puddle, your feet get wet! I own two pair and just love them. They are machine washable in cold water, dry quickly and don't shrink afterwards. The only downside would be a slight adjustment period if you are not used to walking barefoot. I had no trouble with them, but my husband had a harder time getting used to them because he never goes barefoot. Highly recommend these! (With special thanks to my son who introduced me to them!)

Wow, I really like these shoes. I have never liked a single pair of running or athletic shoes before these. They make me want to run. They are comfy and it is easy to feel the earth under your step. Perfect if you have a wide, flat foot, as I do.

I just started Crossfit and needed sneakers with no lift in the heel. So far they feel good but I have not run in them yet, I'm still in the "breaking in" period. They are soft and the toe area is quite roomy. I was apprehensive about wearing new sneakers without socks but I wore them for a few hours last night and I don't expect blisters.

Hugs my foot and fits wonderfully. I have washed them and they still look new. I definitely recommend them. I wear a Narrow, but these shoes fit me so if you normally wear a medium width these might be too narrow for you.
