Customer Reviews Merrell Barefoot Pace Glove

I love these shoes! So comfortable and light. I bought these shoes for running and group exercise classes, but I find myself wearing these shoes everywhere because they are just so comfortable to wear. I ordered my normal sneaker size and they fit perfectly.

Walk 4 miles a day in these shoes. Love them! Wearing them now!

I absolutely love this shoe! I wear them for every activity. This weekend we hiked about 3 miles through rocks, mud and creeks and they performed beautifully. They hugged onto the trail and still look like new after drying them out on the line (which only took 1 hour)! They are definitely worth every penny! Now my husband wants a pair too!

Love 'em! Although the sizes run a bit smaller...so the 9 was a 9 although in other shoes I normally wear a 9.5.

Love this shoe. Wear it several times to "get used" to how it feels. It's like wearing a glove on your foot! Places your heel lower than your toes, very flattering, shows all your calf muscle tone. Lace them loosely so as not to press ends of your toes. Fabulous!

I took the advice of several reviews and ordered a 1/2 larger than I normally need. Alas, too big.

I love these shoes! I always wondered why a shoe company couldn't make a shoe as comfortable as a ballet slipper. Merrell has done it. These are form-fitting and stylish. I always get compliments on these shoes. I did find they run about a half size smaller than usual, but Zappos provides such great customer service, it wasn't a problem to reorder. I will be ordering another pair.

I got these shoes based on an in person recommendation. I have been completely delighted by them. For running, for tennis (they do not leave marks on court), and for Zumba. They are good looking too for sports shoes.

I love these shoes! I am about to order a third pair. My hobby is various canine sports and all include running. I'd like to run them barefoot, but not a good idea. These shoes are better than barefoot. I wear a 9 or 9 1/2. The 9 1/2 fits great--felt large at first, now I love the room my toes have.

I love these shoes. I ordered the size 7 originally, which is my running shoe size. I had to re-order the 6.5 because it was too long. The 6.5 (my actual foot size) fits perfectly. I like a glove. I lift weights and just walk around in these shoes. They are great for that. I would run in them, but I am nursing an Achilles injury. They are super-comfortable, almost like wearing a slipper. On top of that they are cute and not as funky-looking as other minimalist running shoes (ie: the Vibram five-finger). I have received many compliments on them. I might just have to order them in another color!

I am a hiker/runner/walker and I originally bought the Pure Glove which I love. I purchased the Pace Glove because my hikes are usually over rocks. This shoe gave me a little more cushioning than the Pure Glove and was a perfect solution for close to barefoot feel. Order 1/2 to 1 size up from your normal size.

These are a great alternative to the Vibram 5 Fingers. I love the barefoot running concept but I had broken a toe that didn't heal correctly and the 5 Fingers didn't work for me. These give me the barefoot running benefits without the pain in my toe! My knees no longer hurt, calves are getting stronger, and my back doesn't hurt after running. So glad I found these!

These were bought for my wife and they are first Merrell Barefoot shoes. She absolutely loves them, though the minimalist feel takes getting used to on a daily basis.

They have been very good for walking since I got them. It has been very hot and my feet swell and it makes the shoes a little tight. But I still like them and would recommend the shoes.

Love this shoe. I run and hike almost every day. I also had bunion surgery a couple of years ago and ever since then, I have had issues with my feet and shoes. I can't seem to wear shoes and exercise for more than a couple of hours before I can't work out anymore. This shoe is very comfortable. My toes do not feel squished at all. It does run about one size small. I usually wear a size 5 but moved to a size 6 in this shoe and it is very comfortable. I work out in them every day. I liked it so much I got it in black and lavender.

I absolutely love, love these Merrells. Super comfortable, cute on my feet and great colors. I walk in them with plenty of room for my feet to spread out. Will order another pair and will recommend to anyone.

Love this shoe. It's so comfortable not to mention really cute. Had to go a half size larger, and now it fits great. I don't run, just use it for everyday and it's perfect.

After suffering with plantar fasciitis for a few years, I started running again after doing more research on the Pose method and barefoot running. What a difference! I bought the Merrells to help increase strength in my feet and calves and I'm never going back to those super-cushiony running shoes. I integrate about 5 minutes of the Barefoot Pace Gloves with each of my runs, and wear them while running errands. They definitely make a difference. I expect it will take a few months until I can wear them for a full run but I no longer have plantar fasciitis, don't get shin splints anymore, and have noticed more muscle tone in my legs. I have higher arches, yet the Pace Gloves feel like they cradle my feet, despite the low profile. My second toe is a little longer than my big toe and I tend to have issues with finding shoes that don't rub in the toe box. Since barefoot shoes are supposed to fit more closely than other athletic shoes, I was worried these would also rub; they are so comfortable! They are wide enough in the toe box to allow the ball of the foot and toes to fully expand with each step. I love the stretch in the heel and the breathable mesh is so nice for warm weather runs. I was also worried about blisters from friction without socks, but I've had no problems in that department. I get excited about running because of these shoes! I recommend these to anyone looking for a solution to foot and leg fatigue, plantar fasciitis, or just wanting to build foot strength.

Great shoe, both for running, and every-day wear. I got it a half size larger than usual, which I generally do for a running shoe. They do not feel large.

I am not a runner. I just needed something to wear while doing housework, since I tend to get lazy if I am barefoot. I tried to wear MBPs for this purpose, but they just are not maneuverable enough for cleaning the house. I still prefer MBPs for long stands in the kitchen on tile floors. These are not good on wet floors as they are very slippery. I would imagine if they came in a non-slip sole and solid white/black, they would be great for nurses or restaurant people. I hate socks, and these are really comfortable without any. They have a nice rock-ability that seems to energize my feet and legs. I have not tried them for exercise walking as I am trying to build up my tolerance a little first. They are really unattractive--especially on my congenital cankles--and so personally I would pair them only with a full-length boot cut yoga pant.

These shoes are great. They are so comfortable and light-weight. For a moment, I considered taking up running because they feel so good. I now have two pairs.

I have had the Merrell Barefoot Pace shoes for about a month and absolutely love them. They go from the trail to the grocery story. They run slightly small, so if you are close to a half a size larger, order up. They do need an occasional washing. Use cold water and be gentle. I use a lingerie bag. They do take some time to dry - overnight at least.

This shoe fits like a second skin and inside it is smooth and cool, with or without socks. My feet start to burn unbearably with many shoes, even sandals, but with this shoe my feet are cool and comforted. I am a Size 9 and originally ordered that size but my toe was touching the front of the shoe, so I returned for 9 1/2 which is perfect with or without socks. I am not a runner, so can't speak to that.

I love these shoes. They are light, comfortable and they provide good arch support. I disagree that they are sized big. I needed to return my pair to get a half-size larger.
